Ginza is known as a very luxurious part of Tokyo, by far one of the most expensive. Here are all the famous fashion boutiques and electronics brands like Sony and Apple, and of course the luxurious brands have to have luxurious architecture, which was the reason we went there the first day the whole class was gathered with the teachers. Now we were about 20 people instead of eight. On the one hand that made ​​it a little harder to organize the days, on the other hand, it was fun to see the whole gang again!

Imperial Palace and its many gardens are surrounded by moats, we only saw a small part of it. The area around it was interesting though, very flat and open. Very unusual for Tokyo.

This is one of my favorite pictures. This strange park(?) and the Japanese trees in front of a lot of glass buildings create a nice contrast. And yes, I just analyzed my own image. Jeez...

I wanted to feel just as cute as the Japanese women, with a dress and a bow in my hair. When I got home I realized that I probably never will wear the bow again, but it worked great for a day!

We visited the Tokyo International Forum, a large congress center, to look at its architectural qualities.

Mikimoto Building, which looks like a big, white cheese.

Hermés. Of course we went into all these fashion houses to look at the building from the inside. The sales people who are used to their millionaire customers became very nervous every time twenty students came in, haha.

Hayek Center. Every jewelry store has its own glass elevator that goes up to the boutique. Since the elevators are pushed up instead of pulled up you don't even notice that there are elevators until they start moving to different levels. Really cool.

Shizuoka Press and Broadcasting Building above, De Beers Jewellery under.

Nakagin Capsule Tower. The special thing about this old capsule hotel is that the capsules are designed to be easily detached from the building and moved. We have been told about this at school many times. Unfortunately it is not in use anymore.
