Hi paogao, great footage. I don't know if someone answered your query about why the balconies are so high facing the views of the river. The balconies are purely functional. The are that high simply so the Japanese can hang their futon mattresses over the balcony to air and dry.
@poagao eheh, anyway, since u go there often, for a week, how much Yen (+/-) you think is needed to be there for 1 week? Not plane included ofc, soz if I'm being a pain. Thx.
@morfes Not often, just once in early 08 and once in late 09. But cheap hotels like the ones I stayed at are about 5-6,000 yen a night, and meals averages around 600 yen.
"The stepped backed building" you were talking about around 6:39 have to do with the Article 13 of the Japanese constitution, which basically state rights of life, liberty and "happiness."
When people build new buildings, they may not block the sunlight to the existing buildings or farms and they have make sure preexisting buildings get certain amount of sunshine per day, or else, they may have to pay fine and/or additional heating cost, etc. to the owners of the preexisting buildings.
Great to see you swapped from 4:3 to widescreen. - I love your traveldocs and dream myself of going to Tokyo in the future. The thing that scares me is the language barrier, I hardly know a word of Japanese and feel I would get lost in a millisecond. =)
I've seen at least two, so there are several I think. But the lines aren't as long as they were last time I was there. I would advise against eating a whole box of them, as I felt pretty sick afterwards.

@morfes Oops. Well, it looked like the K1000 anyway, and I couldn't find a real K1000 there.

I hardly know any Japanese and for a vacation it's not bad. Then again, I can read most of the signs and menus, so that helps.
