I was pleasantly surprised when I took a walk in Shinjuku Park in Winter. The maple trees were still in their autumn coats. You can take a stroll in the park but take note of the many homeless locals in the park.

Check out the unusual variety of fresh seafood for sale in Shinjuku. Even if you're not eating them, it's worth taking a look. For the life of me, I still can't indentify the fish in the picture, so if you happen to know the name, pls write to me...

If you're ever in Japan, do see if you understand why the folks over there are crazy over Pachinko! Pop by one of these shops with those little slot machines and watch grown men and women hynoptise themselves - simply by watching little metal balls dribble down an upright maze.For information, the little balls are collected at the end of the game (in baskets that you see at the side of picture) and exchanged for cash or gifts.

I took a stroll around in Kabuki-Cho ( The infamous red-light district of Shinjuku) but so much for the sleeze. Instead of finding night-walkers, I found a store that sells Chihuahuas for US$1500+ and other exotic pets. Hmmm, strange. Well perhaps not so strange, it was only much, much later that I found out that rich business liked to buy these exotic, expensive pets for their favourite girls.

The Imperial Palace is a famous landmark in Tokyo and it is within walking distance West of Ginza. It seems that tourists are not allowed to enter the palace premises, but we can get a good glimpse of the palace and the surrounding towers, gardens and moat from the outside.

Just south of Shinjuku is another famous area in Tokyo known as Harajuku. You can witness ultra modern fashion worn by teenagers at Harajuku as well as shopping and the famous Meiji Shrine. More information and photos are at my VT Harajuku page.

If you happen to be at the Tokyo sub-way station, do look across the road and you will see a huge and historical building which is the central post office of Tokyo. Also if you are ctaching the Hato Bus service to other parts of Japan, their bus terminal is conveniently located just next to the Tokyo sub-way station (see photo).
