Rainy days in Tokyo feel a little less lonely when the hydrangeas start blooming.

Caught these two on the street today, quietly glowing in the rain.

The image quality is surprisingly not bad for an iPhone 6, isn’t it?

Shot with an Olympus OM-D E-M10, as was this reel of my stay

This was taken last month from my hotel room.

Today was my lucky day 😊

A Shinkansen cutting through the rail corridors of central Tokyo near Ginza at dawn.

I wanted to emphasise the contrast between isolation and motion — the train emerging as the only real source of light amongst the dense urban infrastructure surrounding it.

I visited Dotonbori recently and finally understood why the famous Glico Running Man is such a huge deal in Japan.

What surprised me most is that it actually started as a candy advertisement back in 1935 🍬

Now it feels more like the identity of Osaka itself. Everyone was stopping to recreate the pose — even a random Spider-Man street performer joined in 😂

I just got back from a beautiful trip from Kamikochi.
It’s worth adding to your Japan bucketlist.
Stay overnight if you can.
