Shibuya Station
8r4d Back on the train again for our last full day in Tokyo (until the ended of the trip, of course)

Your #japan phrase of the day is:

私にできること

or watashi ni dekirukoto which roughly translates to an empowering “these things I can do” which for me this morning was translating/deriving this phrase from a liquor ad on the train, which is something that I can apparently do now.
Tuesday the 18th of November, 2025, morning.

Hamarikyu Gardens, etc.
8r4d Both my SLR and sketchbook got a workout at Hamarikyu Gardens …so if you’re tracking this feed live you’ll need to wait until later when I download the best shots.
