Tour and See the World: Japan, part 9 - Yamashiroya, the best toy shop in Ueno, Tokyo
Welcome to Yamashiroya toy shop!!
I visited Tokyo, Japan, and we had a look at the biggest and most interesting toy store in the entire country - Yamashiroya, the coolest toy shop in Ueno, Tokyo, in Japan! Apparently boasting of 7 levels of various kinds of toys, this is one of the best toy shops in Japan, if not the best. The interesting and cool pictures that I got of the toy shop might interest you, even if you're not an avid collector!
Gundam is a product of Japan - see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!
Remember these cute guys? Pokemon, Digimon and whatnot... see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!
Since we are in Japan, I also shot this interesting Japanese model... model toys and making models and replica toys are important in Japanese urban culture for teens, I guess! Guess what I am going to say next?... You got it right: see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!
The vast array of merchandise and toys from all over the world and from Japan is bewildering.... see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!

Tour and See the World: Japan, part 8 - the Kimono Show
Tour and See the World: Japan, part 8 - the Kimono Show
We went to see a kimono show while visiting Japan - and surely everyone knows that kimonos are a very important and integral part of Japanese culture. Most tourists should know that. Besides, it was a good chance to look at pretty and beautiful Japanese ladies... Kidding! Of course, we visited the kimono show because it was part of the tour package, and some planner out there felt that visiting such a cultural show was good for our edification. Let's see the kimonos on the various models below!
I wanted to make the above picture the last picture at the bottom of this post, but due to the fact that I am a luddite at the computer, it ended up in front. Anyways, you can see the beautiful and intricate designs and patterns on the kimonos at this interesting kimono show in Tokyo, Japan!
I personally feel that this is the most beautiful girl that I've seen on my tour in Japan, and certainly her kimono is one of the more interesting and bright ones, quite unlike some of the other more sombre and more traditional kimonos. 
To save time or to provide some comparison, these two Japanese models came up at the same time, sashaying down the catwalk. 
More themes from Japan to come on my travel site - I've arranged some photos of vending machines (not because I am vending machine person or something, but because those machines represent Japan, I can tell you), the biggest toy shop in Japan (apparently), Mount Fuji (of course, because everyone knows that Mount Fuji "IS" Japan), and other interesting places I've visited and toured.

Tour and See the World: Japan, part 7 - Japanese girls!
Tour and See the World: Japan, part 7 - the Japanese!
Anyone who travels to Japan or visits Japan will know that Japanese girls are among the cutest and prettiest in the world. This post is about many well-dressed and cool Japanese girls that we met during our trip to Japan. There were many of them, enough to form a theme. (In fact, one of the next few posts on my travel site will deal with Japanese vending machines... because there are many vending machines in Japan!)
Japanese like to visit theme parks, such as Disneyland and Disneysea. In this case, even when it rains, they put on their rain coats and go all out to play and visit theme parks!
Apparently Japanese girls have the most interesting fashions/ fashion-sense in the world! A few of us were at MacDonald's (OK, the reason why we were eating there is that the MacPork burger is very cheap in Japan and money is a scarce commodity in Japan) when we saw these two beautiful Japanese girls in the most intricate, daedal dressing. We asked them for permission and we managed to get this beautiful picture for my travel blog! Arigato to the two beautiful and well-dressed models. 
This is a photo we took at an ice cream shop while dining. Anyways this was a famous ice cream shop and the cool model was incidental. There are many different types of flavours that you can try at Japanese ice cream shops, from wasabi to green tea and whatnot! This picture was taken when we were at Shinsaibashi, Tokyo.
Gothic looks and Goth are in too... and this picture was taken at Disneysea theme park. These two girls were - mind you - standing in the rain taking pictures of themselves! We meet all sorts of cool people when travelling. 
Every Japanese girl we saw was cooler than us, even regular people in the streets were cool. 
When visiting Japan, one should go and watch the kimono show - and these are the models we saw at the Japan kimono show while visiting Japan! Let's visit the kimono show in Japan, in the next set of travel pictures...
