My first night in Tokyo was spent in Shibuya. The busy neighborhood is full of ultra fashionable stores, and the most popular is probably Shibuya 109 – that tall cylindar shopping heaven for the stylish youth.
I didn’t actually do much shopping that evening. It was much more enjoyable to walk around beneath the bright billboards and people watch from under my umbrella.
And of course I had to stop at the at the statue of Hachiko – the ledgendary loyal dog and beloved local icon. There were dozens of people taking photos with the statue despite the pouring rain. It was a wet evening, but nothing a warm sake couldn’t cure!
Very artistic; I like it when photos are taken in the rain…adds a softness to sometimes “harsh” city scenes…well done!
