Day 192 - Weds 16th Sept: 192 Days Later

What a trip! Countless memories, a ton of great experiences and a load of new friends (plus some 12,000 photos to sift through).

Day 191 - Tues 15th Sept: Capsule Hotel, Tokyo

Well, while in Tokyo do as the Tokyonians/Tokyoites (?) do. So I thought I'd spend my last night in one of these capsule hotels.

Day 190 - Mon 14th Sept: Ryōgoku Kokugikan Arena, Tokyo

Sumo! Sumo! Sumo! One of this year's six tournaments is taking place in Tokyo in September. The guys in the photo may look big, but they're two of the smaller amateur wrestlers - the pros are even bigger.

Day 189 - Sun 13th Sept: Mori Tower, Tokyo

Here's the view of Tokyo 52 stories up. The Mori Tower has 360 degree views of the city via their massive floor to ceiling windows.

Day 188 - Sat 12th Sept: Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Kyoto

This shrine has hundreds of these red torii that line the route up the mountainside to the shrine. Great for fans of repetition in their photos. Great for fans of repetition in their photos.

Day 187 - Fri 11th Sept: Iwatayama Monkey Park, Kyoto

Did some temple hopping around Kyoto and also visited the Iwatayama Monkey Park today (where they have over 200 macaque monkeys living there). I know that technically this is not picture of the day. But hey, it's my blog and I can do what I want.

Day 186 - Thurs 10th Sept: Gion District, Kyoto

For the third day in a row, I'm spoilt for choice for today's pic. Got some good ones of all the lanterns on display in this alley way, a rickshaw driver and some temple pics - but today's pic of the day is this one of two geishas waiting for their afternoon appointments.

Day 185 - Weds 9th Sept: The Shinkansen, en route to Kyoto

Another great day for pics, highlights included: the bullet train zooming past, the architecture of Kyoto's rail station, the general hustle and bustle of the station, a dragon fountain and quite possibly the world's shortest pedestrian crossing (it had only three zebra stripes. Three!) But here's a good symmetrical one of the Shinkansen from the inside.

As today is 09/09/09 I thought about putting together nine pics...but these computers don't have any good software.

Day 184 - Tues 8th Sept: Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo

There were a load of good pics that could've been pic of the day today (gift lanterns, views from the top of the Govt. Buildings or the bright neon lights of the city), but I've gone for this one of all the people walking at the Shibuya Crossing.
