Tokyo Views In Pictures
It was July 04, 2008 when I arrived in Tokyo, that’s when Japan started finger printing & picture requirements for all foreigners. Immigration, customs people were very nice & the process was very quick. I really loved Asakusa, Harajuku, Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo Japan because it is very different; overall, my visit to Tokyo, Japan was wonderful experience.
Cosplay is unique culture in Japan & some Japanese teenagers love the Cosplaying ginza japanese girl. You may be wandering what is Cosplay. Cosplay in other words mean costume display, teenagers in Japan dress in different, manga characters & hang out in different parts of the Tokyo city. Cosplay is on specific days, area & Cosplay can be seen on video game shows, as well at parties, nightclubs & amusement parks.
In summer and winter, two Cosplay events, doujinshi market & Comiket attracts thousands of manga otaku and cosplayers.
Some Japanese people find Cosplay as silly, I believe the older Japanese generation. In the west, we have punk culture & most people don't like punk culture. But Cosplay is very different. I find Cosplay very interesting.
I will write more details later but in the meanwhile take the virtual tour. During my stay in Tokyo, I made 500 pictures & I selected best 62 pictures by attractions for this hub.

Hi gadfly; I really appreciate for your thoughts and suggestions.I had plans to visit other cities too but problem was lack of time, may be next time. But i loved my Tokyo visit.
gadfly from Ojai, California on September 03, 2009:
Great Photos -- you really captured the essence of Tokyo. If you are going back you should also go to Kyoto (the old capital) -- it has a totally different character from Tokyo.

Hi Christa;
Well I hope you can find the kind of clothes you like on this hub in Turkey too.
christa on July 25, 2009:
Hi Mr Nice, thanks for the hub on Tokyo, I loved the Japanese girls' clothes, I'll go shopping this week and I'll try to see if I can find similar ones, it would be great to wear this kind of things for an important appointment I have sometime soon :) I'll be following your hubs, thanks again.
Mr Nice (author) from North America on May 22, 2009:
Hi japanese words! Well Mr. Nick Lancaster, you don't need to clarify because I already know that, I mentioned with each picture it's location too. I had no time to add details about my trip but I will add some details soon. Please visit again to read the details of my trip.
Mr Nice (author) from North America on May 22, 2009:
Hi SanDiegoVending! Yes very right, vending machines are everywhere in Japan but I haven't see even one vandalized. Thanks for the visit & for your comment.
japanese words from Japan on May 21, 2009:
Great pics Mr. Nice guy. Just as a clarification, cosplay isn't actually that common, and is only practiced by a very small percent. Most Japanese are actually embarrassed by it. It is more concentrated in places like Akihabara.
SanDiegoVending on May 20, 2009:
They are so jazzed about vending machines over there! Cool pics :)
