tokyooooooooo!

staying in tokyo for the last two days of our japan trip was a really good idea. this city is just the bomb! our hotel was literally in the city center near shinjuku station, so we could just go out and walk most of the stuff we wanted to see.

our cubicle was quite big, at least by japanese standards. and it was a room with quite a view (see pic on top)

goh and ron, both working for 'championsvisions', our distributor for isenseven in japan, took us on a small shop tour before diving into tokyo's nightlife. it was really interesting to see, how many snowboard shops (and we are talking proper ones with all kinds of fresh stuff) can exist (and obviously do good) within a 200m radius. the riders did some signings and it was nice to realize, how good the movie has been selling in japan this season (in fact, place 2 among all available snowboard movies!!!).

it was cool to see, how stoked people are on isenseven in japan. doumo arrigatou!

peter and kevin, checking out their new headwear for 2012. and we met grilo (left upper corner) ;D

as we were quite hungry (and peter, kevlar, fips and alex had started a bet to drink 15 cans of asahi), we asked goh and ron to show us some nice sushi place and we headed to a small restaurant right around the corner of the 'snowboard shop district'... really good shushi and a funny chef and an even funnier waitress, who could not believe, how kevin was treating his shushi... :)

the crew, raging through toyko's subway...

after we all stuffed ourselves and already pretty intoxicated, we demanded karaoke and it didn't take god and ron long to find an excellent place: small room, high above the streets with an incredible backdrop against one of tokyo's main roads. insane! needless to say, that we spent more than three hours at that place!

if i remember right, this was 'it must have been love' by roxette. classic! insane backdrop!

the next day started late and we finally had some time to check out the countless camera stores, boutiques and some of the more weird stuff... well, pictures say more than 1000 words:

so many people all over the place!

so many girls all over the place!

so much gambling all over the place!

so much rubber all over the place!

we all had a nice last japanese dinner after the shopping. sashimi at its finest!

yummy... i definately gonna miss japanese food!!!

time for us to leave beautiful japan. it was a sick trip and we definately gonna be back soon! :)


thanks iku and tobi for arranging everything and goh and ron for showing us around in tokyo! doumo arigatou gozeimasu!
