Kamakura + Shibuya

Go for a day trip to Kamakura, peaceful and pleasant, with a million temples sitting in some lovely gardens. Oh and a huge Buddha, completely without his house that was washed away by a Tsunami.

Shibuya at night is probably the most filmed section of Toyko, as lite up and crowded as Shibuya Tokyo at night... it`s its own simile really.

Have you gone totally Tokyo?

Crowded markets in Asakusa Toyko, the extreemly polite people of Japan even get close to pushing their way past.














Head out to Shibuya on a Sunday and see crowds of people, some dressed up some with cameras up, and plenty of street performers and artists. Want to get something for free in Japan`s Temple to Consumers? How about a free hug from a choice of vendors.

Philosophical Walk

If you are sick of sakura and tired of trudging around, then don`t take a philosophical philosopher`s walk in east Kyoto.

Each end of the walk is a crowded affair, dodge group photographs and avoid or give in to temptation from one of many snack shops. There are some more peaceful spots along the way and a few artists can be found sketching or painting. In on case, playing a flute.
