T o k y o 東京
 

Following on from my brief stopover in Dubai I returned to Tokyo 2.5 years after leaving it last. Having lived just outside Tokyo for 4 years from 2007-2011, (and leaving just after the Earthquake and Tsunami), it was an emotional experience for me to return for the first time. In many ways it was as if I had never left, not a lot had changed and the city is as mindblowingly amazing as ever.

Amazing pics !
Keep them coming ...

Fantastic - just about everything a city can be, all in this thread.

Amazing.

Thanks for this whirlwind tour of perhaps the greatest of all cities. I can't wait to get back there again.

Great photos, Tokyo is really metropolis!

Tokyo has to have some of the best architecture on earth.

God I miss that place, will be curious to see how Shanghai stacks up in a couple of weeks.

Outstanding photo tour! :cheers:

Solid set.

Thanks for all the comment guys.

Great return to Tokyo, Xander. Beautiful photo tour. Great job! Tokyo is amazing.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.:tup:

Your display of Tokyos urban mojo is quite simply delightful. Cheers and keep clicking while you are there. ;)

Wonderful pictures of a wonderful place!

Great work mate! :)

Tokyo is at the top of my bucket list and this only reinforced that. Thanks for the pics!

Very high quality photos. Bravo !

ワー！きれいだよ！

great pics, I love the fish market theme. Lots of old people too! But I guess that's the direction the country is going..

Amazing! Can't wait to visit in a few months.

Wow, that was a rush. Beautiful pics of a dazzling city. I'll have to visit this thread again after I catch my breath.

So many great shots, but this one stopped me in my tracks (not even sure why):

Thanks Xander.
