many thanks. am glad i managed to capture the guy in the bottom right corner.. if he wasnt there i think it'd be a bland picture..

thanks! its a beautiful place. best time to go is late march / april when the sakura trees start to blossom. shinjuku is a nice place to stay, central location and lively. the people are really very sincere and helpful and will go out of their way to help a lost tourist!

Nicely done, they're all great. No.2 is my favorite.

Great pics, I especially like #3! I have about 125GB (!) of my own from my recent trip to Tokyo which are still sitting relatively untouched in LR. =(

BTW for #2 it is "Asakusa"
