Cherry blossom time in Japan April 2010

The famous Hachiko dog at Shibuya. In the late 20s, a professor kept a small Akita dog, who would come to the station every afternoon to await his master's return. When the professor died, the dog continued to show up and wait at the station till his own death.
Shinjuku-Gyoen Park
We were perfectly in time for the cherry blossom season.




Wake up at 4.30am in the morning to go to the Tsukiji Fish Market to see the tuna auction.


The world's best Sushi at Nobu!

And other fine delicacies.



Too much food can be very tiring :O)

Sometimes it can be more than just an ordinary dinner in Tokyo. Fun night out with our colleague in a restaurant that resembled a prison.In Japan it is all about video games and slot machines. Bastian playing Pachinko. Looks like he is having fun?!?
Shibuya Crossing, which is one of the most famous crossings in the world and well-known from the "Lost in Translation" movie. Up to 15000 people are crossing this street each time the green light is given.

Fantastic view over Tokyo from the Roppongi Hills.


More from our Japan trip to come. The next days we headed to different cities within Japan including Kamakura, Kyoto, Hakone, Osaka and more.
