Tokyo can be a horribly noisy city. Unbearably busy at times too. But mercifully, even amidst all the hustle and bustle, it’s still possible to find a quiet spot for a couple of much needed quiet drinks.
Japanese couple’s company and companionship
The couple below must have been married for more than a few decades, which without a doubt is an achievement in itself. But to have also spent that time working together, in cramped conditions, and somehow still manage to get on, is arguably an even bigger accomplishment.
Japanese fast food
This place certainly isn’t trying to add to Japan’s impressive number of Michelin stars. Neither is it trying to be something it’s not. Instead, it’s simply serving cheap, quick and not especially unhealthy food. All conjured up as well as consumed in surroundings that while cramped and merely functional, are also quite fascinating.
Tokyo: the shopper
Tsukiji fish market, birds and exuberance
Tsukiji fish market is a fascinating area to walk around, but considering the environment and incredibly early hours, it must be a particularly tough place to work. So, when another week is done, and everything is hosed down or swept away, it’s no surprise to see that a bit of downtime is met with unadulterated joy.
