Go Go Tokyo!

Tokyo is the coolest city on earth, hands down. It's all light, action and movement, with a vibe that makes even New York seem like a placid little hamlet. The Japanese are a world unto themselves, with curious quirks that only 300 years of isolation can produce. Cross-dressing, Gucci bag clad Geishas in Shinjuku, why not?

Electric Shinjuku.

Pachinko playing addicts. There has to be five Pachinko parlors for every one Japanese person.

It's Halloween everyday for the teenagers of Harajuku.

Commes de Garcons. High design is another Tokyo fetish.

The amazing chef at Gesshinkyo, who prepared an amazing Buddhist kaiseki meal of about 20 courses.

The triple towers is the Park Hyatt Hotel, scene of Lost in Translation. All that ennui costs money, 700 bucks a night!

The bar scene at the Park Hyatt...where Bill Murray was sitting!

Octopus, squid and eel, oh my. The enormous Tsukiji Fish Market.

Lest we forget the absurd Japanese TV characters. Awe, he's cute!
