Because of the high density of people who occupy Tokyo Metro trains during rush hour, there had been a staggering amount of sexual harrassment cases reported to the police in recent years. One of the Metro's responses to this growing groping epidemic this was to create "Women Only" cars on some of the city's more heavily travelled lines during peak hours.

 Zojoji Temple is a Buddhist temple in Minato-ku ward, right in the heart of Tokyo. It served as the Buddhist temple of the Tokugawa family during the Edo period (Tokugawa Ieyasu was the first shogun, or general, of the Tokugawa shogunate, or dictatorship, which ruled Edo before it became Tokyo after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, when insular Japan opened up to the Western world). The cute little statues are known as Jizo statues, each representing a miscarried or aborted children. Young couples come and may homage to the mizuko (soul) of their unborn children.

 Akihabara is known internationally as one of the largest shopping areas on Earth for electronics, namely computers and other high-tech gadgets. The shopping district is so large that much of the fringe is actually part of the neighboring region of Soto-Kanda. I'm not much of a techie and I'm somewhat old-school, so my favorite spot was Super Potato, a store specializing in 8-bit Nintendo.
