Endless corridors of fishy goodness.
Fresh and bloody, like this.

This cheeky fish asked for my number.
Fish are kept live as long as possible
Swordfish?
Squid/cuttlefish
Guy on the right is a seller, other guy is a buyer. Seller kept giving buyer little samples to taste.
Outside runners move purchases to waiting trucks.
These guys were zooming all over the place. Had to watch my step or become roadkill.
Look at those diggers!
Cart full-o-tuna.
Hustle and bustle.

Grabbed a sushi breakfast at a place nearby.
Here's the menu.
And here's my breakfast. Sushi tastes good.
Walking back to the hotel I stumbled across a Kabuki theater.
Actors are all men. They play the roles of ugly women.
This dude looks pissed off.
Scene from a play. Universal themes of hanky panky abound.
Outside shot of theater.
Street scene walking back to hotel.
Hotel again.
Outside walkway/park in Yokohama.

Yours truly. Stop rocking the car!
Mall in Yokohama. Yokohama or Tysons Corner?
On the way to the ballpark.
Everyone loves baseball.
Getting a hotdog and coke fix.
Play ball!
Crowd was rowdy.
Mmmm, hot dog.

This was just before an excellent triple play.
Drive your dreams.

Fortunately no one fell on the tracks.
Funny mechanical clock near the hotel.
Some nutty promotional MC. Like a Japanese LIberace.
Tokyo Tower. The line was too long so I skipped it.
Reflection of Tokyo Tower.
Gas station. Note how the hoses are suspended from the ceiling. Much more efficient use of space.
Shibuya district. This is kinda like the Times Square of Tokyo.

There are lots of happy things in Tokyo. It's always nice to see happy prices.
Late afternoon view from Shimbashi train station platform.
Most attractive dinner menu I've ever seen.
Sake
A trip to Tokyo would be incomplete without karaoke. I crooned some BeeGees "How Deep is Your Love" and Barry Manilow's "Mandy". Tears were shed.
Smoking area in Shibuya. I thought it was hilarious that all the rebel hipsters could only rebel in orderly fashion. Smoking on the streets of Tokyo is prohibited outside designated smoking areas.
