On the twenty-eighth day, of the fifth month, of the year two thousand and twelve a group of eighteen of my collogues and myself embarked on a journey through the small, narrow streets of urban Tokyo. We started the day off with an amazing and informative lecture from Norihiro Naki, Professor of Urban Planning at the Tokyo Institute of Technology where he informed us of the history of Tokyo’s development.  After a brief and inexpensive lunch of sushi we eventually made our way to the streets, experiencing first-hand the amazing hidden sites the city had to offer. What follows is a series of images illustrating our slightly damp journey exploring urban spaces of all kinds.
