My new neighborhood is full of tiny supermarkets like this one in the basement

Taken just as a squeaking throng of girls boarded the train from a concert. There were professional subway pushers to cram them in! (Though I couldn't take a picture of them, it was all so fast)

These flexible plugs are surprisingly useful in Japan's cramped indoors

That cute police cartoon still unnerves me

A whole store dedicated to Korean idols paraphernalia
eliazar:
Crabs!

Kagami Mochi. Tried to eat this but turns out it's mostly a decoration, it's really hard.
eliazar:
Curry Ramen!
eliazar:
Shinjuku's Metropolitan Gov't Tower

Notice how the unseemly cable pipe merges seamlessly with the roots and branches. So Japanese to make technology seem grittily organic.

Of the many weirdos out in Harajuku, Chef wanted a picture with him
eliazar:
Famous Harajuku bridge on a Sunday. Sadly, the few cosplayers are overwhelmed by the throngs of photo stalkers and you feel like audience. Notice the gap around the weird guy.
eliazar:
I look like those National Geographic African giraffe women
eliazar:
McDonald's cool flavored cones. Ice cream's so photogenic!

Chef wouldn't forgive her Harajuku crepe

Takeshita Dori food court, interestingly the 1st food court for a street I've seen

Asian guy with Western girl, rather uncommon couple

Shank-less mannequins, all the better to focus on the erogenous thighs

Happy holidays from the condom snowman!

Liked this ad from Bang & Olufsen
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: 365 ceramic cats, each with the date on it. No idea what they are really for but they seem a cool way to "mark a date".
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: Earphone alarm and pre-needled threads to quickly sew a button!
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: Travel alarm! Apparently you can attach it to a door and it will ring, loudly, when it is opened
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: I'm growing to like this ad displays at stores here in Japan. They're actually helpful and cool. I bet they'll become ubiquitous in a few years.
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: Ceramic knifes! Supposedly they don't get odors or flavors. I want to touch them!
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: Capsule plant! Uber cool but way too expensive (~$40)
eliazar:
Tokyu Hands: Cup Cover!
