It's still about 700USD here as well. Let me know the dates for your visit when they are finalized. GRD isn’t getting any cheaper. It’s still about 700USD here as well.

That photo location evaded me for over 13 years. Now I know where to "eat lunch" with me and my camera when I get to Tokyo in June. How much was lunch? BTW, is the Ricoh GRD getting any cheaper? They sell it in US now but exclusively through Adorama of NYC at $699. I saw that several store list it for Y63,800. Thanks for any hints. Henry Aw Roy!

I have been in Tokyo for a grand total of 2 times, and assumed Tokyo was all about Himeiji Jinggu, Harajuku, Shubuya and Shinjuku. Coming to your site is like visiting Tokyo without having to fly in.

I see there are 2 shapes for the front of the train. Going by current car shape trends I assume the "blunt" one is the most recent? Shades of "Design by Honda" there! Great shots.
