The #Imperial #Palace in #Kyoto used to be the ruling Palace of #Japan, before moving it to #Tokyo in 1869. Especially its #gardens are beautiful to see and wander around – definitely a recommendation when visiting Kyoto!

Tokyo nightscape
The #Rainbow #Bridge and #Statue of #Liberty in #Tokyo, #Japan – one of the things I would have never expected to see anywhere else. Miss Liberty came to Tokyo in 1998 to pay tribute to Japan’s ties with #France and adds to the spectacular view on Tokyo’s Rainbow Bridge since then.
Exploring Tokyo – Kabukichō
#Kabukichō in #Tokyo, #Japan is the district where you can find endless #anime, the #Robot #Restaurant and let your inner #geek out – definitely a have-to see while you’re visiting Tokyo!
The #Shinjuku #Golden #Gai in Tokyo is an area of small streets close to #Kabukicho, with tons of tiny #restaurants and #bars – while quiet and relaxed during the day, they are filled with life during the night.
Fulton Station
So many pictures that you can take from so many angles – the #Fulton #Center is an amazing piece of #architecture in #downtown #Manhattan. The Fulton Street Station is one of the major #subway hubs downtown #NewYork City that was rebuild, and reopened in 2014.
