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.

Tokyo / Gallery

This is MA's exhibition at No.12 gallery 24 Feb 2012. Always MA is painting with big love and big hope. You can feel it with this photo.

Tokyo / Street Food

If you are into "Midnight Diner"-esque night experience but not into a crowded Shinjuku scale, then this is a good alternative. Smaller and much more laid back.

Tokyo / Other

TEPCO is Tokyo's Electricity company. You can see a big 'T' on the building. TEPCO has been making our city really bright. And also TEPCO is going to make our future bright with great nuclear power plants.

Tokyo / River

Tama River is located in the outskirts of west Tokyo. A large waterfall located upstream, and the cold water is surprisingly clear. There, you will find a wonderful landscape no identical to any of those you see today. At the same time, you will forget the fact that you are in Tokyo.

Tokyo / Cafe

This is Salon de Cafe, where my friend brought me for my birthday. There is a sense of quality in this modern, welcoming shop. The service and atmosphere are also very good. The strawberry parfait in this cafe is very delicious. Please check it out once!
