Yoyogi

July 28, 2010

I took a trip out to Yoyogi on the weekend to capture some photos of this area which is located very close to Shinjuku. It is surprising how quiet and peaceful the area was given its proximity to the large business district nearby.

There are some charming older buildings around in Yoyogi. Where is this style of architecture today?

      Yes, it has been a while. I have been trying to sort out a few things in my life, one of them being perhaps a move overseas to New York or maybe Hawaii :) will let everyone know when I work out the details.

      I’ll try and catch up on a few conbini mondays as well and keep things moving. Thanks
