Did we work out what this building is called?
A train
Herzog and de Mueron's wonderful Prada Building in Omotesando
Whatever this was on the way back to the Hilton
I have forgotten what these little lanes were called
A bell at Narita
Oh and some brassy things at the big temple
It was the French FA from the Tokyo crew that recommended a trip to Narita. It was a stellar suggestion, like having a whole extra day rather than a layover of 8 hours in the UA club.

I'm sure the organisers of Japan Do 2015 will choose the venue with attendees in mind rather than for their convenience. 
The Easter weekend 2015 will be during the school holiday and peak tourist season in Japan as in 2013. Although Tokyo has a lot to offer somewhere outside Tokyo where accommodation is cheaper might be considered? Please post your thoughts.
My only suggestion to the fellow organisers is whatever they do CHOOSE A PLACE WHERE IT DOESN'T RAIN!!!

The last week of March is my spring holiday in 2015. Having it then would mean I could travel without playing hooky. The first two Japan Dos were so great that I am already thinking about #3!

A new thread for Japan Do #3 is now open. We hope to keep this thread open for a while so people can post their trip reports, photos, etc.

☯ Photographs and Memories ☯
It took me a while to get back to this forum. (I have lots of other interests, both on-line as well as in real life.) I had a pretty good time with Japan Do #2, despite missing the Shinjuku stroll on Friday morning. (Where was your first stop? I thought it would be the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. But when I got there, and you weren't there, I figured I had better cease chasing you.)
Will I try for Japan Do #3? I don't think so. Maybe after ten trips to Tokyo, I can give it a break and try another country. [I'm contemplating northern Germany, and Copenhagen, Denmark.]
Overall, I took a whole bunch of photographs during this trip to Tokyo & Yokohama. It took me a little while to classify them.
I've opted to go with only one photograph from Thursday night. Since I barely knew any of you, I did not want to randomly snap shots of attendees. There are a lot more images of Friday night, and Saturday night.

If there are any questions about these photographs, you may remark in the thread, or you may send me a private message. Do contemplate it may take me a while back onto this forum. Thank you.
