Best Picks of My Tokyo Pics: Got The Time?

By Billy W 3 November 2009 8 Comments

I’ve always liked this one. Here we have a salaryman shuffling along above several sets of JR Line tracks near Shinjuku Station. Maybe he’s heading home or just maybe to his next appointment. There’s little doubt he’s aware of the time, but should he forget, the clock tower of the gods is always there to remind him.

Update: Fuck! I just became a salaryman again myself.

I remember when I first arrived downtown Tokyo, I had just taken the Narita Express to Shinjuku.

It was quite the first impression let me tell you, I still vividly recall the multitude of JR tracks co-existing in the same space.

Thanks for your blog, I enjoy reading it.

@Ibraheem:
Yeah, I still come across train lines I’ve never heard of.
Glad to have you as a reader. Thanks.

@Chris B:
Woulda been cool, but woulda been too dark.
I hope he was able to knock off work early and throw back a few with some friends.

Nice Tokyo pictures! I remember seeing that tower when I was living there a couple years back. Tokyo has such a crazy feel sometimes.

@Joshua Z:
Thanks.
True, the crazy feel is there sometimes. But, what’s more crazy is the fact that what should seem crazy often seems all too normal

@Blue Shoe:
Yep. My first time at getting really screwed up was underground in Shinjuku Station. Now, I think I know it better than anyone, except the people who work there
