1 on the way from Tokyo Station to Shinjuku	2 1964 Olympic Stadium	3 Yakult Swallows warming up at Jingu Stadium	4 Swallows player intros, leading off is Lastings Milledge
5 Milledge at bat; it was the Swallows vs. Yokohoma Bay Stars	6 the game ended in a 6-6 tie after 9 innings!	7	8 squid balls - pretty good; hot dogs were available too
9 Tsukiji Fish Market	10 Senso-ji in Asakusa	11	12 Tokyo's oldest temple
13 formerly associated with the Tendai Buddhist sect, it became independent after World War II	14 Tokyo Dome from the outside - I thought all I would see	15 but a random event was going on and I was herded into a line and handed a ticket	16 and got to see the inside - this is where the MLB plays when it comes to Japan
17 usually home of the Yomiuri Giants; was sold out last night, which is why I went to Jingu Stadium in Shinjuku	18 Kawaguchiko 5th Station on Mount Fuji; 2.5 hour bus ride from Tokyo to start the climb at 10pm	19 but torrential rain started falling and I turned around to avoid hypothermia as it would be near freezing at the summit	20 my camera got temporarily fogged up; this is taken at 5:30am (I think at Fujiyoshida train station); we then changed to the JR Chuo line at Otsuki
21 I took a cab to the train station and then the trains into Tokyo with these three University of Tokyo students	22 changing to the JR Chuo line at Otsuki	23 my unused return bus ticket - would've had to wait until 10am to leave the Fuji 5th station	24 Shinjuku's version of the Bird's Nest
25 Imperial Palace East Garden, this lawn was formerly lined with buildings of the Honmaru Goten Palace	26 this is from Tokyo City View at the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi	27 Tokyo Tower, basically a copy of the Eiffel Tower, built in 1958; Ginza on the left	28 Shibuya; Mt Fuji would be seen on the left if it was clear
29 Shinjuku, can see Jingu Stadium hiding behind a building; Aoyama Cemetery in the foreground	30 floor to ceiling windows inside	31 "Black Fountain" at Mori Art Museum	32 jellyfish sashimi at one of several restaurants in the Shinjuku Washington Hotel; crunchy
33 at Tokyo Station waiting for the Narita Express; this grapefruit flavoured drink tasted only slightly better than its name	34
