not sure if i was able to get a good view from the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, in Shinagawa....is it close to there?
maybe next time...
those are some nice pictures of the bridge. :applaud:

You guys are lucky to get to go to Tokyo. It's mainly Kobe here. It's pretty cool though. And they also have a nice bridge. It's about a 10 min walk away.

Odaiba is far from central Tokyo so I'm not sure how much of view one would get if staying in the heart of City.

The hotel I'm staying at is in Shinagawa-ku but is next to Tokyo Bay and has a view of the Bridge. The Shinagawa Prince is a bit inland (10 min walk from my hotel) and probably won't have that view.

next time any guys go to Shibuya......Shibuya Ichi-Maru-Ku is now for guys, too.

Store opens for guys seeking to wear gyaru fashions

A new department store floor has been set up in trendy Shibuya to cater exclusively to gyaruo -- boys who want to mimic the fashions of gyaru, the straw color-haired, flamboyantly dressed young women who frequent the Tokyo district.

Tokyu Malls Development Corp. (TMD), the operator of Shibuya's 109 Building regarded as the prime location for sellers of gyaru fashion, started selling gyaru fashions for guys on a floor of its nearby 109-(2) Building in March and expanded the sales area on Sept. 15.

Fashion conscious young guys have started flocking to the store. Reina Nakao, tenant planning supervisor for TMD, said the company noticed about two years ago that increasingly large numbers of young men were shopping at women's fashion stores in 109, prompting it to set up the men's fashion floor at 109-(2).

In March, the fashion floor for gyaruo opened on the fifth floor at 109-(2) with 13 outlets. The floor has since racked up monthly sales of about 100 million yen, well exceeding initial goals by around 20 million yen.

"Our strategy of targeting men looking for slim-fit fashions seems to have worked," Nakao said.

Customers agree."I'd been saying to my girlfriend for a while that I wished there was a 109 Building for guys," a 23-year-old male student from Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, who'd been shopping at 109-(2), said.

Another student, a 19-year-old youth from suburban Nishi Tokyo, said "it's a big help to be able to find all the trendy stuff in one spot."

Men's gyaru fashions proved so successful TMD set up another sales section on the sixth floor of the 109-(2) building on Sept. 15, adding another 10 retailers to its existing tenants.

Retailers' expectations are high. "Guys who come shopping here have a strong desire to buy," Masakatsu Ishii, general manager of new 109-(2) tenant Scottside, said. "We'd like to be able to keep them coming back even after they've matured more."

Kazuhiro Yasuda, chief editor of men's egg, one of Japan's trendiest fashion magazines, also lauds the new developments. "There hasn't been a 109-like store for guys before now, so if you wanted some of these items you had to go to all sorts of different stores in places like Shibuya and Harajuku," he said. "It's really convenient to be able to get everything in the one place." (Mainichi)

wow, i was actually right. so, off topic, as i mentioned it does seem that tsukiji fish auctions are off limits but the market itself, as a whole, is not.

CRIME
American professor arrested for stalking woman in Tokyo
Friday, September 29, 2006 at 07:36 EDT

TOKYO — A 59-year-old American professor at Atomi University in Tokyo was arrested on Thursday for stalking a 23-year-old woman on more than 10 occasions. The professor, identified as Christopher Drake, was arrested for trying to break into the woman's apartment on the night of Sept 15.

Police said that Drake has admitted to following many women, whom he saw randomly on the streets, to their homes since July. When Drake was arrested, he had a rope and was wearing a mask over his eyes and was ringing the doorbell. "I fell in love with her at first sight and I just wanted to meet her," Drake was quoted as saying by police.

that is terrible, how could someone do that, not to be rude, but was it a white guy?

His last name is Drake.

Do the math.

i guess he figured since japanese guys do it all the time, and he's living in japan..."when in rome."

How sad, will he be imported back to america?

I don't know...the article didn't elaborate on his immigration status...of course it is conceivable that he be forced to leave.

"Dragged" would be more appropriate.

by his scruffy ol' beard, no less. He probably thought he was Anjin-san from the novel "Shogun" -- where the white guy gets the fine Japanese girl in the end.

oh god, how pathetic!!!
