Another week, another one of those days. Today’s task is not to shoot buildings but I did a few anyway. Location? Taa daa…, Tokyo Midtown and Roppongi Hills in Roppongi.

I guess most of you are familar with Izakaya? Izakaya is basically a Japanese drinking place which also serves food to accompany the drinks (food as in meals, not just snacks). Izakayas are pretty much everywhere and are popular for after work drinking. They range from small and cozy local joints -to- chain franchises which have a much larger footprint -to- more high-end, designer decorated interior ones. Obviously, the price and the quality of the food is reflected.

… fashion department store. I was in Ginza again this evening and since I use Yurakucho station, I thought I’d take a look inside the new Marui department store which opened only last week. As with all places new, there were lots of people! With this Marui being near Ginza, the stores inside seem a little different from stores in other Maruis. There seems to be some slightly higher-end brands here.

(Re-posted after data loss) Well, what’s in Ginza? Brands, brands, brands, brands, brands. Yep, Ginza is packed with brands. Literally every shop here, back to back, is a fashion brand store. The ultimate shopping heaven for brand lovers.
