In the Tunnel | by Samer Farha

There’s this long tunnel from one of the subway stations to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings, where I was going. There are a few restaurants there, including one with this façade. So I stopped and waited until I got a shot I liked. It’s amazing how few people notice a big foreigner aiming a camera at a wall.

There’s a shrine not far from where I’m staying which you have to climb over a hundred stairs to get to. Needless to say, not a lot of tourists there. I just loved these golden hinges.

I was really taken by the people praying here. The temple was a really good spot for people watching and taking pictures.

Pray | by Samer Farha

Got to go to the Sensoji temple yesterday. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo, built in the 900s. There were a lot of tourists, but also a lot of people paying respects.

The street leading to the temple is full of Edo-period stores selling all sorts of things.
