Honda Super Cub スーパーカブ50

I just thought it looked cool, but this bike actually has an interesting history.

Kanda Myōjin 神田明神

My last stop on this walk before reaching the station at Akihabara to start my trip home, Kanda Myōjin. I've wanted to go here since first arriving in Japan more than a year ago, only because it makes a brief appearance in one of the stories I discuss in my dissertation.

Destination Akihabara 間もなく、秋葉

That's my final destination for this walk, there in the distance--Akihabara, Mecca of geekdom.

I took this photo from the middle of Hijiri Bridge, near the Ochanomizu station. I noticed a few people on the bridge with their cameras ready, waiting for something, and it dawned on me that I had seen reproductions of the landscape before me on more than one occasion. It was at this point that a train emerged from the tunnel, and the other people on the bridge started snapping away with their cameras. Ah--the Marunouchi train.

Yasukuni Shrine 靖国神社

Yasukuni Shrine. My route across Tokyo took my past this infamous temple, and having never been there before, I had to stop and check it out. Interesting, to say the least. I'm glad I took the time to walk around the grounds a bit for the sake of the cultural edification it provided.
