There were quite a few posts from my last trip to Tokyo that I forgot to blog about, hence the spurts of various Tokyo posts in between the Melbourne food posts. It took ages to sort through the photos, and I'm not even sure I have the best shots here, but for what it's worth, these photos are among my favourites taken during my trip.
Happo-En gardens near Shirokane - a beautiful scenic place to have tea and walk among the landscaped garden (http://www.happo-en.com/english/)
View of the city from Hamarikyu Gardens (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3025.html), near Tsukiji Market. Well worth the 300Y entrance fee which came with a free headset, telling stories about how the shogun would have used the different buildings and spaces within the grounds
Miyajima Island, a 1hr tram ride and ferry ride off the cost of Hiroshima
Miyajima's famous torii gate at low tide
The Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima
Night scene at Osaka with the famous Glico running man sign
Dotonbori with the famous Kani Doraku sign
Osaka Castle
View from Mt Takao, one hour west of Tokyo
At the summit of Mt Takao
Beautiful pre-autumn colours
Gardens at Ukai Chikutei at Mount Takao - detailed post on the food coming right up next.
