Random Picture Post: June 2013

These are some random photos that span the last 2 or 3 months. Some you may have caught on Facebook.

Hara-rikyu Garden

After the markets, I walked through Hara-rikyu Garden. I visited here during the winter in 2006, but nothing was in bloom. A bit greener this time around.

Tsukiji Market

I made a day trip to check out Tsukiji Market on Saturday. There wasn't a lot to photograph that I haven't already photographed many times before in other markets around the world, so not many pictures below.

There are many pickled items for sale in the outer markets.


Take note that it is NOT raining. The ladies use umbrellas on sunny days as well as rainy ones. I wish I could get away with this too, but I've been told it's frowned upon when men do it.



I ate lunch at Sushi Zanami, one of two kaiten sushi places in the outer markets. It was pretty good.
