"Hachioji Bus, Tozai Line, Shinjuku, Ebisu, Seibu Line, Etc."

This batch of clips is not in exact chronological order, but includes views from Hachioji, Shinjuku, Ebisu and several train lines - including the Tozai, Seibu, Chuo, and Yamanote lines.

This will likely be the last post of 2010.  It's been an interesting year and artistically productive, but a financial disaster.  2011 - from the vantage point of December 31st, 2010 - looks to contain some seriously stormy weather, but even more than that, there are huge questions about what direction things will take.  There are good and bad trends in force, so... so... what to say?  I'll soldier on and hopefully things will head in a good direction.

Yamanashi Bus Trip (5) - Mt. Fuji

Yamanashi Bus Trip (5) - Mt. Fuji

After stopping at Oshino-Hakkai on my one-day bus trip to Yamanashi Prefecture via the Club Tourism - "Mt. Fuji & Hot Springs" tour, we went to an outdoor hot spring resort that had a really amazing view of Mt. Fuji. They wouldn't allow cameras in, so I couldn't photograph it, but picture this: Sitting in natural hot spring water looking over and up at towering Mt. Fuji - with misty-looking snow blowing off of places towards the top in the (apparently) strong winds up there. It was really a beautiful thing to behold. All I can do is attempt to describe it, and to show a picture of the mountain I took from the highway on the return trip (it was closer at the hot springs).

"Chuo Line, Shinjuku Station - 300M" (中央線 新宿駅 300M)

中央線 新宿駅 300M

This black sign with white lettering (first picture above), saying 中央線 新宿駅 300M (Chuo Line, Shinjuku Station 300M) I like for its simplicity, clarity, unique style, and its link to the past.  I suppose this type of sign used to be a standard type?  In any case, it's quite rare in 2010 (soon 2011) Tokyo.  Old it may be, but it's perfectly clear and useful, so I hope it stays there indefinitely.

Beginning with another look at the construction project on the Seibu Line between Oyama and Hagiyama Stations, and then looking out the front cab of an Inokashira Line train on the way to the Boroichi street market, where I show a look-around at night as an announcement is made by the police to warn people about fraudsters calling and pretending to be police - asking for their bank account numbers and passwords.  Then a short clip of a street musician performing in front of Hachioji Station, and finally a front cab view from a Seibu Line train.

Residential Towers in Tokyo - (101209)

Residential Towers in Tokyo

It used to be that people bought land out on the fringes of Tokyo and built individual houses, commuting into the center of town to work.  Increasingly people are buying large apartments in residential towers, such as the ones shown in the pictures above.  Being near to the center of Tokyo, towers like this have dramatic mega-city views.

"Seibu Line, Tozai Line, Ginza Line, Chuo Line, Oedo Line, Shinjuku Area, Etc."

This batch of clips begins with an evening view of the area under construction on the Seibu Line between Ogawa and Hagiyama.  Then the next clip jumps back in time to May of this year, to a view of a street band performing (under an overhang) in the rain.  And then there are various things: waiting for trains, boarding trains, riding trains (involving several train lines), viewing an art exhibition, walking by the construction zone in front of Tokyo Station, watching the world roll by from train windows, walking down the street in Shinjuku, etc.

Local Chuo Line Train - Nakano to Higashi-Nakano  The seats in the six-door car (twelve if you count the doors on both sides) are locked in the up position until 10:00 a.m. (I passed through the car just before ten), and then - at 10:00 - a light comes on by the seats, and they are remotely unlocked and can be pulled down.  Later I went back and the car was mostly full of sitting people, except one seat left in the up position.  (I had thought the light was a button that caused the seat to electrically come down, but is simply a light indicating that the seat can be pulled down.  After many years of riding these trains, I got to try that out for the first time on this ride!)

"Water Reflections, Kodaira Chuo Park Concert, and Shibuya Sidewalks"

Contemplative views of an autumn sky through tree branches reflected in pools of rainwater.  Autumn views of Kodaira Chuo Park and a kind of festival, followed by an outdoor concert in the park with several musicians participating.

Then a sudden jump to the sidewalks of Shibuya - with views of people nonchalantly navigating the walkways of the megacity.  Finally some views of the Inokashira Line and the Chuo Line....
