tokyo trip - 2001

Still more photos from old album. These were from a business trip to Tokyo in 2001, taken with a first generation digital camera. It was my first visit to Japan, a country which I would return many times.

 we stayed in the hyatt four seasons - there is this nice vintage mini cooper s parked outside the lobby

 that was long before the smartphones

we had great food at this izakaya washed down with a lot of beer

 this Daihatsu looked so much like the Lotus Elan

in a cellar bar i mistaken this wash basin as urinal bowl because of its shape and low mounting height; my colleagues would not stop tease me after

 another mini cooper in a relatively quiet neighborhood

i lucked out with this japanese suite; all my colleagues had a western style room

 it would be my first time using a washing toilet

in the hotel garden there is this century old pagoda

a pristine e type

the food is very good in this izakaya
