After Kyoto I headed up to Tokyo (via the Bullet Train!!!!) to visit my good friend Kristen. Tokyo is a massive city (duh) and a bit more spread out then I thought it would be. Tokyo definitely lived up to all its hype and stories I have heard. Except for the fact it REALLY burnt a hole in my wallet, I really enjoyed it! The weather could have been a bit nicer, but thats what you get when you travel during the low season.

I'm all for bike culture but when cities regulate bike parking and fine people.... i dunno, makes me like the lawless streets of philly and NYC.
There is a lot of bad English in Japan, but this is boarder line offensive.
I kept walking on the right and getting in people's way. So tough to break that habit.
Gotta love Neon and bright lights if your gonna love Tokyo.
