Sample Daily Route in Tokyo [The Filler Series]

Wake up before noon, grab couple ‘giri’s from sleven, crush a smoke or two, and get gone on a board.

And thats with whatever bits of map were cached before I left and with a prayer that the route doesn’t get eaten and I’ll have to guess and check by hand where the hell I was going. Usually these went well though. One thing I’d do differently now is take more pictures along the course to help outline it better, but that’s definitely for next time I’m in town.

Quite a few great snowboarding shops in this area. Certain bits and pieces kinda surprised me, all things considered.

Here, the fork in the road kinda got me a little bit, so I took a minute to refuel and figure out my bearing.

And this brings us to Harajuku and hence forth.

So this is how I get to know a new area. This is my style of tourism. I know I’m most likely of the very few who does it solely via skating and I love it so. If this wasn’t intense enough, try blading roughly the same route with some of the hills out here….

Harajuku & Aoyama (原宿と青山）

Skated from Taito again, to see this hip little district. Very very cool in my opinion and some insanely chill sidewalks to shralp at night. Also great rails.

1st skate shop ive seen here. Prices are crazy, but they have lots of Penny boards.
