Ginza

Yesterday, Saturday, we visited two places – walked our neighborhood some more and looked in various stores and Takashima Times Square (a big shopping center near the train station with a huge Japanese crafts store inside) and then at night we went to the Ginza district, where we had dinner at a fabulous Vegetarian Indian restaurant.

Ginza itself is hard to describe – its daylight there at 9pm because of the neon lights and lighting displays built into the buildings – they are really amazing. It is like being in an architect’s dream of redoing Las Vegas with tasteful lighting and modern buildings or something.
The architecture in Ginza is positively inspiring and very modern, in a really delicious way.
