The night view from Cinderella’s castle. Do you leave right after the Tokyo Disneyland Electric Parade and fireworks?

When I’m there, I always stay till the park closes. With less people around and a slightly cool night breeze, it’s quite enjoyable taking a night stroll around the park.

Two interesting facts I learnt visiting Kaminarimon in Asakusa recently.

2 – What has become of Matsushita Electric (松下電器)?

Isomarusuisan (磯丸水産).

Shibuya Junction Empty

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. An empty Hachiko crossing in Shibuya. Took this photo quite a while back when I roamed Harajuku early one Sunday morning. Even at that early weekend hour, getting a seat at Starbucks overlooking this popular junction required a short wait.
