Here’s the “Great Buddha” or Kōtoku-in of Kamakura, Japan. Me and my girlfriend travelled from Tokyo to see this great buddha statue. Towering over the tourists it was a hard shot to get uninterrupted from the crowd.

Town in Sangenjaya, Japan

  38 km from Kamakura


Wandering through the small back alleys of Sangenjaya, Tokyo, around midnight, after the last train has left and only the locals are still around drinking and enjoying lively conversations. This place is packed to the brim with tiny bars that only fit a few people, shoulder to shoulder. Each bar with it’s own vibe and new experience to enjoy.

travelers stories about Temple in Meiji Jingu, Japan

Temple in Meiji Jingu, Japan

  42 km from Kamakura


Finally we made it to Tokyo. Of course we had to visit the Meiji shrine. The shrine is under construction, and it was drizzling, so the place wasn’t packed with tourists. I stood facing the gate, and waited for a moment that caught my eye. I hope that I captured a great moment, and conveyed the right mood.

Tokyo is my all time favourite city to visit. As much as I’m biased towards my hometown London, Tokyo will always have a place in my heart. It’s truly a city that never sleeps and experience you cannot get elsewhere. This is a view from one of the observatories in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, a free viewing floor that gives you unparalled views of the city.
