Off to school we go...

The subway ride to Kamiyacho (the studio!)


We travel about 45 minutes to the studio, heres the street.

Ken's our seminar teaching, Metabolic Tokyo.  He knows everything and is super friendly and welcoming.  And.. bonus, speaks english (has lived everywhere from ny to london to here).. not as common here as you would think.


Ken took us on a walking tour of the neighborhood around school.. heres whats there:






Shrines are marked by this, and pop up all over the place.

Not as often as vending machines though... Almost one on every block (like starbucks in nyc, times five).  You can pay with your metro card, and they take up 30% of tokyo's electricity!
