Tokyo’s apparent disregard for the presumably trifling matter of town planning can make finding someone’s home a frustrating, and often time consuming, task. Plus, while maps can be a major help, the metropolis’ maze-like streets often make even the most detailed diagram difficult to decipher.
With this in mind then, landmarks are a much more reliable resource, making helpful hints along the lines of, “I live below the giant Gorillaâ€,
or, “My gaff is next to Godzillaâ€,
far more efficient.

“I live next to Hello Kitty” would be way cooler! 🙂

Ha ha ha! Awesome stuff! It reminds me of… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Headington_Shark
Anyway, are you going to be troubling these shores any time this summer? (You can leave the giant mutant lizards in Tokyo thanks very much.)
Lee says
Yeah, I’ll be making a trip home Paul. Minus the mutants of course!
Daniel Hamlow says
What part of Tokyo can that gorilla be found? Gotta check it out.
Lee says
Somewhere in the suburbs of Tachikawa Daniel. At least I think so. Got a bit lost while out and about on my bike and just happened to come across it.
