Subuya Crossing

Back in Tokyo, which seems much busier by comparison after Kyoto. By popular request we had to revisit the Pokemon Center, followed by a mooch around the downtown district. Lots of neon, careering cyclists, and people. Subuya crossing (not done justice by the pic above, which only shows 3 of the 8 crossings) is reputably one of the busiest in the world.
By far the noisist and brightest sights are the Pachinko centres, huge buildings full of people playing a strange slot-machine like game, using small silver balls instead of coins to get around gambling laws. We watched for ages trying to figure out the aim of the game, and are still none the wiser.
Boys v. happy after we found a Sega Centre, with 8 floors of video games.
