Harumi Terminal – Tokyo Port
It’s easy to forget, well to be honest, for most people in Tokyo life has nothing do with the ocean, that Tokyo is one of the greatest port cities in the world. The Port of Tokyo has 30 000 people working receiving over 32 000 ships and a staggering 100 million tons of cargo. There also a few terminals that receives passenger ships, ferries and long distance cruise ships. Usually these are busy places with customs and immigration, but on the days when no ships come in to harbor, it is almost completely deserted. Harumi Terminal is popular with boatspotters and even busspotters, this being one of the best places in Tokyo to take photos of busses! There is also what could be taken as an observation tower on top of the terminal but as you can see from the photos it is a bit difficult to see anything from it. The terminal is also a good spot for photography: every time I go there I spot a handful of photographers with assistants and models. I took these photos earlier in the year, it was very cold and windy, not like the warm days I have spent at the port in May! Harumi Terminal is at the end of Harumi Island which is a nice but rather long walk from Ginza. But if you have time and good walking shoes I recommend you to try it!
