Scenes from a pre-typhoon Tokyo wander

The day before a recent typhoon, the weather forecast was for a mixture of sun and light showers. A combination that seemed like it might be conducive to some interesting moments, and to my eyes at least, it pretty much worked out that way. In fact the only downside to the day was discovering that a favourite old restaurant of mine had been demolished. Admittedly it hadn’t been a going concern for a good few years, but still, seeing its disappearance was no less disappointing. To honour its demise then I’ve included a ‘before’ shot to the series.

      Thanks a lot. I was very pleased to get the first one. Saw him just in time.

    Oh bummer I know that restaurant. Well thanks for the heads-up, it’s better than stumbling upon the empty lot in person and gasping/wailing aloud, as I have sometimes done in the past.

      Yeah, a real shame. That one was very special. For some reason I wasn’t expecting it to disappear, so came as a genuine shock.
