Shimbashi (G08)
In the hope of creating a little more activity in the Ginza Line group, I dug through my files and found a few shots from a brief visit to Shimbashi, another stop on the Ginza Line that I had forgotten about. I remember visiting an old coffee shop on the second floor of a building near the station that a friend took us to, but I can't remember the name. It had a great atmosphere and I would like to find it again, so if anyone recognizes the unique interior shown in the picture below, please add a comment.
It's a bit of a hike, but one of the great gardens of Tokyo is within walking distance from Shimbashi, through the new office towers of Shiodome, to Hama-rikyu. We strolled the grounds on a pleasant sunny day in February when the plum trees were just beginning to blossom which was a welcome sight for visitors just arrived from the cold and snow of Wisconsin.
