Is that because the JP101 office is near there? So far a lot of picture in the “Premium Lesson” have been taken near that station. Is that because the JP101 office is near there?

It was fun! Naomi-sensei is right though, the walk from Harajuku to Shibuya along Meiji-dori is the best part, very pretty with the trees and lots of shops!

It is just a fad right now. Sony has some good products - their TVs and their Video Cameras are quiet good. I use their Walkman phone to listen to JPOD on the bus so if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to listen to you guys :) I am sorry Peter-sensei,

I love walking down side streets and hidden spots around whatever town I am in. You can learn so much just by taking a long walk.A good one is from Ikebukuro to Komagome. There is a couple of hidden gems (in terms of temples and parks just waiting to be discovered). BTW guys great work with the expressions on the PDF today Marky

You're right in the middle of the city, you can see the skyscrapers all around, but in the garden itself everything is so peaceful! Naomi先生, some people do indeed walk from Harajuku to Shinjuku !!!
