"Your site brought back a lot of fond memories of my work in Tokyo in the winter of 1996.  By far, the best travel information website I seen about Tokyo and Japan.  Great mixture of pictures and sounds from Tokyo.  I lived in Setagaya and commuted to Suidobashi, across from the Big Egg.  From Suidobashi I used to go on site seeing excursions down towards the Imperial Palace and Ginza districts.  As I mentioned, the pictures brought back memories and mental images that I remember.  Thank you."

"Your homepage is one of the best I have ever seen of Japan. I have spent over 16 months in Japan both as a university student and as a teacher and I have to say that your account of Japan is absolutely accurate. Both of you have amazing insights and I look forward to hearing about your future adventures."

"You have created one of the most interesting and informative web sights that I've seen. Several months ago, my wife and I spent 2 weeks in Japan, from Tokyo to Matsue, Hiroshima, Takamatsu, basically all over the country. It was the most fantastic journey we've ever taken. One of the highlights was that we were able to spend 2 days and nights in the home of a Japanese couple in Matsue. Unforgettable!

Your pages allowed us to return to some of those sights we visited. Thanks!"

Most restaurants had a display of food replicas in their store front windows. This made ordering easy!
"I just wanted to say thanks, I am leaving for Japan next week on business and although I will be extremely busy, with the help of you site I have been able to plan accordingly. Thanks Again and Excellent Web Site, I will forward the site to my Business Partners."

A typical street early in the morning in Ikebukuro.

"Hi guys, thanks for such a thorough and well organized pictorial of your trip to Tokyo!  I have been planning a trip to visit a pen pal in the Tokyo area for some time now, and, although I have made out a rough itinerary of the places that looked interesting to visit, and had done my best to become prepared for the arrival and departure procedures, I have your site to thank for giving me a step-by-step guidebook to Tokyo and the airport.  Thanks so much!  I liked especially that you guys visited and described places in a way that demonstrated that you were just everyday people, instead of world traveling types and therefore less approachable to the majority of us."

"My god, your site is really fan-tas-tic !!

I just don't believe my eyes. You have managed to describe many aspects of Tokyo, Japanese life and culture within a very accessible, easy to read website, it's a joy to check it out! I myself went to Japan ones already, and am about to go and live there. Your site confirms many things I already learnt about Japan, and tells me many more interesting things. There is NO negative comment possible on your super site. Well done !"

Shopping in Ueno on a weekend afternoon.

"Congrats. on a great source of information and very thoughtful design.

I'm going to Tokyo this coming weekend and really learned a lots out your site.  I was sort of paranoid at first, but most of what you guys had stated re-assured me of what I always had in mind about Japanese, peace and kindness!"

Zojoji Temple Garden
Jizobosatusu, the protector of the souls of stillborn children and the Buddhist equivalent of an angel. Mothers who have lost an unborn child may dedicate an image of the deity and decorate it with baby clothes and toys.
"I have been researching for our trip to Japan for more than 2 weeks now.  Your web site is definitely one of the best personal web site I have ever seen, with great links and clear photos.  Aside from the JNTO web site, yours is the most comprehensive one on Tokyo!   I especially liked the route maps for the ferry and photos of lunch boxes and the computerized toilet!"
