Summer day in Omote-Sando
Whenever I had a free day in Tokyo, this was the street I enjoyed walking the most. Summer was terrible in Japan as the weather was hot and extremely humid. I sweated all the time and it felt horribly uncomfortable in crowded places. But here in Omoto Sando, like an oasis, the trees gave lots of shade on both sides of the street. Supposedly a trendy area, this section was filled with young people making all kinds of fashion statement, small specialty shops and cute tiny restaurants. It had a bohemian atmosphere. Yet somehow I often thought of Blvd Haussman in Paris whenever I was here. The feeling was the same but the places were quite different.
