The subway and train ticket machines can be a bit baffling when you first confront them; these days they are all touch screens and offer a multitude of options.
This is apparently Japan's cheapest scooter at the moment; made by Suzuki (did I say Yamaha in an earlier posting?), at about ¥60,000 (about C$700) or less than a lot of bicycles.
Your standard Tokyo cab; seen in their tens of thousands on the streets of the city. At certain times and certain places, they are the majority of vehicles on the street. They run on LPG. Though sometimes a bit aggressive, their drivers are generally pretty professional, though people are telling me that with 'restructuring', there are lots of older guys from other occupations getting into the business that are pretty clueless about how to get around the city.
A little bicycle seen outside of P3 art and environment, where Rumi used to work, with a stand-up rack - you tilt the bike up on its back wheel and rear rack, inside the entrance to a tiny Tokyo apartment.
Dave, here's your car on the streets of Tokyo - known as the 'Platz' here, they are actually not very common, and they tell me that it's no longer in production for the Japanese market.
A bunch of Press Cubs - the press version of the Honda Super Cub - lined up outside a newspaper office in Yotsuya. If you get up really early, you can see guys whipping through the street with loads of papers on these bikes.
