Tokyo 2009 New Year’s Photos

A happy new years to all JapanProbe’s readers.

I spent counting down the new year at Tokyo’s Zōjō-ji (増上寺) with my best mates, Some people went to the famous Meiji Shrine, but I prefer this one right beside Tokyo Tower.

The moment that Tokyo Tower reveals to the world its 2009!

Were you part of this crowd??

We felt warm although it was freezing winter in Tokyo, I guess that is because of the enormous amount of heat we get squezzing through people.

How did you spent your New year’s count down? Were you there with me at Zōjō-ji??
Share your stories!!

I hope the year 2009 will bring happiness and prosperity to all!

Official name of Zōjō-ji is San’en-zan Zōjō-ji (三縁山増上寺)

I went to Zojoji for the countdown for 2008 but unfortunately I couldnt make it this year, I’m back in England You can check out my coverage of last year’s event on my blog: http://gaijinnosekai.wordpress.com/2008/01/01/new-years-greetings-from-tokyo/

Really wish I could have gone to this year’s event, ah well, Zojoji is actually probably my favourite place in Tokyo hands down!

I spent it crashing at some Friends in Nagoya watching Downtown try to serve a day as fake newspaper reporters, while eating curry and drinking beer. Yes, ringing in 2009 while watching a bunch of comedians escape a man dressed up a bear through a newspaper lobby.

I’m sure there were probably better ways, but this was enjoyable
