Tokyo Views In Pictures
It was July 04, 2008 when I arrived in Tokyo, that’s when Japan started finger printing & picture requirements for all foreigners. Immigration, customs people were very nice & the process was very quick. I really loved Tokyo because it is very different; overall, my visit to Tokyo, Japan was wonderful experience.
Cosplay is unique culture in Japan & some Japanese teenagers love the Cosplaying. You may be wandering what is Cosplay. Cosplay in other words mean costume display, teenagers in Japan dress in different, manga characters & hang out in different parts of the Tokyo city. Cosplay is on specific days, area & Cosplay can be seen on video game shows, as well at parties, nightclubs & amusement parks.
In summer and winter, two Cosplay events, doujinshi market & Comiket attracts thousands of manga otaku and cosplayers.
Some Japanese people find Cosplay as silly, I believe the older Japanese generation. In the west, we have punk culture & most people don't like punk culture. But Cosplay is very different. I find Cosplay very interesting.
I will write more details later but in the meanwhile take the virtual tour. During my stay in Tokyo, I made 500 pictures & I selected best 62 pictures by attractions for this hub.

Dobro sam Kako si Tatjana!
I loved Tokyo & in future I will stay there for extended period. Current population of Tokyo is 33,473,000 millions. I took 500 pictures but added 52 selective here.
Forever love...
I can't say I want to go there...looks really crowded and way bigger then I imagined...am so happy for you though and thanks for sharing such great shots...G-Ma :O) Hugs
Hi G-Ma!
But I think you should go, Tokyo is beautiful in every sense I will write in detail soon. So come back & check again. Thanks for your comments. Hugs
Mr Nice, I love the pictures! Tokyo is very colorful, much more than I imagined. It really looks beautiful. I can't wait to read the details! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like they really get into their cosplay :)
Hi K@ri!
Yes Tokyo is very colorful. It took me hours to first select the pictures write the titles. You know adding 52 pictures on the hub takes lots of time too.
My shoulders & arms need some rest or nice massage.
Cosplay is very common hobby for young people & you can see this in every where in Japan. Thanks for the nice comment.
Tokyo is so well organized?! Not only for the smoking, venting maching area, but also for the blind folks?! Isn't Tokyo the most expensive city in the world?! It would be a dream come true if I can ever afford to go there! Next time, you gotta take me with you! ;)
Hi mayhmong!
Yes, they are very organized. Do you think we can have self-service vending locations like this one? In North Carolina, New York or any where without being Vandalized I don't think so. I see the public telephones missing telephone directories & even receivers.
Please wait for full details I will write very soon. I believe Japanese are more civilized than some other nations. It is possible to take you with me but you have to invite me to North Carolina first.........hahaha got you.
What do you think?
Ha, ha, ha, whole Croatia has 4,5 millions of people....
A lots of love....
Hi Tatjana!
Did you get my message through the comment on your hub?
7 small European Countries is equal to just Tokyo 's population. Because you are not contributing enough to the world population. I believe you should.......hahaha.
Love is life......
Sure, c'mon on down to see the redneck state of N.C!
Hi mayhmong!
Thanks for the offer may be one day. I lived in Rosewell, Atlanta few years ago. Atlanta is beautiful but most of the businesses close at 7Pm. I am a city person & that was the reason I moved back to New York.
Hi Tony, very nice pics! I will go there some time hopefully, and see for myself. Thanks for the link :)
Kakdila Misha!
Thanx for the visit & the comment. You should visit Tokyo, I will add more info about Tokyo & let you decide. You are welcome for the link. I will be publishing more hubs about my travel. Paka
Now this neat I have always wanted to visit Tokyo and you took me there, I thought for a splite second the dog was real and had to take a second look. I enjoyed looking at these.:)
Hi AEvans!
I am glad you enjoyed the Tokyo trip. Yes it looks so real because they are made of wax. When I was in Bangkok I visited wax museum, which is really amazing. Hopefully soon I will publish hubs about my other trips. I really appreciate for your visit & the nice comment.
Mr Nice, I love the pictures! Tokyo is very nice

Hi Lgali! I was just kidding but thanx.

Mucha gracias, Hasta luego
What a great pictures Nice sama, the teens in Tokyo are very Harajuku's like. Some of teens in Indonesia adopt that style too. I love anime too, do you have photos about naruto's style ? Great hub.
Hi febriedethan! Welcome to my hub and thanks for the sweet comment. Tokyo is all about teens. They are every where in flocks. I never been to Indonesia, so I don't know. I don't have naruto's photo but I can find it and put it on. Have a wonderful day.
WOW. These pics were awesome right up my alley.
wow, wat a colorful & vibrant city. I think uploading a hub on virtual tour is a great idea!Thanx to you I just toured Tokyo sitting in front of my pc :)
Hi blondepoet! How are you long time no see. My next trip is for Australia to see you. I wish but not this time, I have plans for Europe but not sure yet. Thanks for the visit and for nice comment too. Have a nice day.
Hi gr8archer45! Thanks for the visit and for nice comment too. Yes Tokyo is a wonderful city, I had really great time & I loved it too. I am planning to publish hubs about my other trips soon. Keep watching & have a nice day.
Woow I want to go here if you are going again may I hide in your suitcase.xo
Hi blondepoet! My next plan is to visit Australia to see you......haha. What do you think? From Australia I can take you to Bangkok, Thailand.
Sure Mr Nice you are on..am awaiting
Hi blondepoet! That's soooo sweet of you, well I was joking but now I have to think about it.
I really want to visit Australia & you never know, may be I will be in Australia any time. Do you like surprises? Thanks for your offer I will keep in touch.
They are so jazzed about vending machines over there! Cool pics :)
Great pics Mr. Nice guy. Just as a clarification, cosplay isn't actually that common, and is only practiced by a very small percent. Most Japanese are actually embarrassed by it. It is more concentrated in places like Akihabara.
Hi SanDiegoVending! Yes very right, vending machines are everywhere in Japan but I haven't see even one vandalized. Thanks for the visit & for your comment.
Hi japanese words! Well Mr. Nick Lancaster, you don't need to clarify because I already know that, I mentioned with each picture it's location too. I had no time to add details about my trip but I will add some details soon. Please visit again to read the details of my trip.
Hi Mr Nice, thanks for the hub on Tokyo, I loved the Japanese girls' clothes, I'll go shopping this week and I'll try to see if I can find similar ones, it would be great to wear this kind of things for an important appointment I have sometime soon :) I'll be following your hubs, thanks again.
Hi Christa;
Well I hope you can find the kind of clothes you like on this hub in Turkey too.
Great Photos -- you really captured the essence of Tokyo. If you are going back you should also go to Kyoto (the old capital) -- it has a totally different character from Tokyo.
Hi gadfly; I really appreciate for your thoughts and suggestions.I had plans to visit other cities too but problem was lack of time, may be next time. But i loved my Tokyo visit.
