If there’s one thing that most impressed me during my weekend in Tokyo, it’s the people. Always helpful and friendly, they all went out of their way to make us feel welcome as visitors. This photo essay covers the some of the friendly faces we met along our adventure.
We brought from vendors in Asakusa, took pictures with girls dressed in Kimonos at the Sensoji Shrine, chatted in Italian to Sushi chefs in Kabukicho, smiled awkwardly towards cooks at Tsukiji fish market, enjoyed happy hour with the youngsters in Nihonbashi under the red lampions and gasped at the crowds while crossing the road in Ginza.
However, I do need to return to find some Harajuku Girls though... there just was not enough time to do it all!
How do you say smile in Japanese?
Wondering if these two are promoting a show?
He's cute!
Colourful, friendly smiles

I'd rather have sorting sweet to start the day.
Getting the best angle
I'm in love with these Kimonos
The obi bow, the plaited hairdo, the colourful flower and the hand-painted fan
... spectacularly delicate!
You can buy but you can't eat along the road!
Not for vegetarians!
More selfies of two giggling Kimono-wearing girls in an alleyway!
The Japanese version of food trucks?
Taxis, bikes, pedestrians... ready, set, go!
