Just had a few days in Tokyo with work, and although there were very limited opportunities for sightseeing I did get out a couple of times. These are some of my favourites, a few more on Flickr.
View of Tokyo from the hotel bar. Taken through glass without a tripod so pressed against the window both to reduce reflections and for stability:

The famous 'Shibuya scramble', the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. I was casting envious glances at a guy with a tripod who was no doubt getting great images:

Senso-ji Buddhist Temple. No chance of getting a shot without people in it - it was heaving, but the fact there are some ladies in traditional dress makes me more accepting of the clutter:

And this little shrine was tucked in between nasty modern buildings right next door to my hotel. Glad I brought my 10-22, which I nearly hadn't:
