Lupin Steal Japan

Lupin III (ルパン三世, Rupan Sansei) has beaten the Empire to it and stolen the beloved Moyai Statue from Shibuya station!

Where do you suppose he is hiding the Moyai Statue? I don’t think he’s hiding her at the Lupin Station Tokyo. ^^.

Send Lupin a personal “steal request” at steal-japan.jp.

What would you like stolen? All the trains in Japan maybe? ^^.

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.

That’s how long it takes to get from Roppongi to Shibuya by bus. Bus stop in front of Aoyama bookstore next to Azabu police station. Don’t forget the ¥200 bus fare too!

Hachiko Crossing

Easily the world’s most famous crossing. Pretty nice picture given that it was taken on an iPhone don’t you think? It was a Thursday night before 春分の日 and I met up with Ken and Adam from Genkii and Chris for a mini drinking session at Shibuya. There’s more to Shibuya than Hachiko and the dodgy area. ^^.
