sleepy john blog - pictures and videos for the japanese and korean av idol, gravure idol and racequeen

A huge part of the Japanese lifestyle revolves around their public transportation system, namely trains and subways. A town is often built around the train station and many subcultures have spawn off the railway. Here are some train / subway photos I took while in Tokyo:

Riding on the Keisei Line (京成線) from Narita International Airport

Tozai Line (東西線), the train that people hate to take during rush hours is a pleasant ride in the early afternoon

Crossing the Old Edogawa River (旧江戸川) into Tokyo

Oedo Line (大江戸線) subway @ Monzennakacho Station (門前仲町)

Tamachi Station (田町駅) looks rather dead right after lunch

Huge and airy Shinagawa Station (品川駅) serves as a major artery and connecting point

Designated smoking area on the platform at Shinbashi Station. You don’t see too many of these left in Tokyo but since Shinbashi is an “oyaji” (old geezer) town they had to leave a couple there.

The iconic plaza on the west side of Shinbashi Station (新橋駅)

Taking the Yurikamome monorail (ゆりかもめ) toward the newly developed Shiodome (汐留) district

I spotted the uber cute and popular TV announcer Aiko Kaito (皆籐愛子) in Akasaka Station (赤坂駅)!

More to come…
