Yoyogi Park

I’ve realized that being Yoyogi my favorite park I haven’t written too much about it. Yoyogi park is not the most beautiful park in Tokyo; however it is the most lively and fun, mostly on weekends. At the entrance, every Sunday you can find the rockabillies, in the central part you can find all kinds of jugglers and “ninjas”; in fact practically all over the park you can find people with good vibes doing whatever the hell they want. If you are lucky, maybe you can spot some “pee geyser” or some weirdo trying to fly a robotic dragonfly. Even if you are only staying a few days in Tokyo, don’t miss walking around Yoyogi during the weekend. To get there, the best way is to stop at Harajuku station or at Meiji-jingu Mae station.

Now I leave you with quite a few pictures I have been taking during the last five years; notice how different the seasons look and the great atmosphere around the park:

Snow at dawn

Tokyo woke up today to snow on the ground and I went for a while to take some photos to the Meiji Jingu temple. It’s a pity that when I arrived the snow at the inner part of the temple had been almost completely cleared out. However I have been able to take some nice pictures and a couple of videos of the monks and temple workers removing the snow using shovels and hoses.

I think I changed something unknowingly on the camera and that is why the colors on the videos are a little bit weird.

Snowing in Tokyo

Legend has it that in Tokyo always snows at least once every year, and since weather data began being collected in 1876 this has been confirmed true. Three years ago it almost didn’t snow but eventually it snowed during 20 minutes at the end of March. Today, starting at 9:00 pm, snow has started to fall quite heavily, since 2004 it hasn’t snowed so heavily (I am starting to feel like a Tokyo old man). I am wishing that the snow settles tonight so I can go out tomorrow morning and take photos! Temples are specially photogenic when it snows, if you are now in Tokyo enjoy the moment!

I took this video when I was coming back from work. Riding a bicycle and taking a video while it snows… is not easy πŸ˜‰
