We actually didn't usually take taxis in Japan, making use mostly of the Japan Rail system or our feet. But the city lights that night were somehow soothing even though I was thousands of kilometres away from home.

On a technical note, I very much enjoyed running around the city at night snapping quick shots here and there. The streets in this area were empty enough that you weren't catching tourists in every shot, yet busy enough that there was always something to take a photo of.
