citylikeyou — Yoyogi Park — Tokyo by Mari Kojima

Tokyo / Park

Amazing picnic spot in all seasons. During summer time, we usually bring in beers and food and just hang out there all day long. It’s nice to bring a speaker to listen to music, or any card games, or maybe a Frisbee. I also recommend Inokashira Park in Kichijoji as well.

Besides taking photos, she has worked as a fashion designer assistant, curator, FM radio DJ, project manager, event planner. Since Fall 2010, she started running a little publishing company called Bathysphere Books. She now works and lives in Tokyo.

Shibaura House is a unique workshop space in an office district. The building was designed by Kazuyo Sejima, an architect who has often worked outside of Japan. The first floor has self-published zines from all over the world, sent in by small publishers. It's kind of like a park: there are tables and chairs that anyone can sit on while looking at the zines. It's free of charge.
