I went looking for cows 10 and 12, since I knew roughly what area to look in. I found cow 10 without too much trouble, it was at street level opposite cows 9 and 11, and open to the footpath, but in a corner under a recessed building entrance.

After about 15 minutes looking for cow 12 I broke down and checked the map, which showed it was in the Kokusai building. Even then it took me another 10 minutes to find it, since it was in the basement (there are about a dozen restaurants down there).

After checking through my list of cows, and I have the following left to find: 10, 12, 37, 64, 66, 67, 71, 72, 73. The last five are all minimoos.

I went looking for number 37 today, since cows 32-36 were all in or around the Marunouchi building. After spending about 15 minutes looking around I asked at the reception, and sure enough, it was on the 5th floor.

Cow 37 was quite unusual, it had been split in half and then put in what looked like two semi-transparent shipping crates!

So while we were there we tried out Kua Aina, a Hawaiian burger chain. Nice burger, a bit pricey.

Today’s cows: 37
Today’s mini-moos: none
Total cows to date: 62 of 65 cows, 3 of 8 mini-moos, 10 of 10 cows of europe.
Remaining Cows: 10, 12, 64, 66, 67, 71, 72, 73.

I went to lunch with some colleagues today, and stumbled across 3 miniature cows on the third floor of the Shin-Marunouchi building! I checked the Cow Parade Tokyo website, and cows 66 to 73 are “”ミニムー”s (“mini-moos”).

Mini-moos!

Today I headed over near Otemachi subway station on my cow-hunt. The other day I saw a couple of cows over there from a distance but didn’t have time to photograph them. I found 6 cows today, and have covered almost all of Marunouchi. Now it’s just a matter of trying to find the ones I missed.

Monday was a public holiday, so I wasn’t in Marunouchi to go cow-hunting. As a consolation here are the cows of Europe that I found the other day.

Back to the search for the Cow Parade Tokyo cows today. I found 11 today. I’m having to travel much further from my office now, so it’s getting harder to cover new ground. I did manage to find 51-56 and fill in a few lower numbers, so not a bad effort.

It was raining, so I didn’t venture out for lunch. Luckily, I discovered a rogue cow in the basement of my work building!

Cow number 29

Today’s cows: 29.
Total cows to date: 42 of 73.

Day 4 of the cow-hunt. I covered the area closer to the Imperial Palace, hoping to find some of the missing numbers from the other day. I only found 5 cows, but I did find some of the missing ones, including one way over near Hibiya gardens that I missed the other day, and a couple tucked away in back-streets.
