Decided to take my bike into work for a change today.  Downtown it’s illegal to park your bike on the sidewalk, although hundreds of people do.  Once a week or so the city comes around though and impounds all the offending bicycles.  It’s about $25 to get your bike back.  The closest bicycle parking lot near my office is in a pedestrian underpass.  It’s only 50 yen per day, but I guess it can add up if you ride your bike downtown everyday.  Some department stores, like Mitsukoshi, have free bicycle parking but it’s too far away from where I work.

I chose to take a small detour to Kokubuncho on my way home tonight, but just did a quick drive-by.  Some night I’ll go back and give it the full attention that it deserves.  All photos taken with a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens.
