I saw many other people enjoying the cow-parade, so I thought I’d share a few candid photos I took.

During the cow parade there was a temporary “shop” in the the Marunouchi building. They were selling model cows, of various designs from previous cow parades. They even had plain “paint-your-own” cows for those frustrated artists among us.

January 31st, 2009: It’s finally time to post the remainder of my search. I’ve faked the post dates to match when they were found.
Today I finally found the remaining cows. The final 3 “mini-moos” were spread through the upper floors in the Oazu building, so were almost impossible to find without the map.
The final cow was on the other side of the JR Tokyo station, which I’m pretty sure isn’t technically in Marunouchi.

I found 2 of the remaining “minimoos” with the help of the map. They were on the third floor of the Marunouchi building, in quite a nice spot overlooking the autumn sunshine outside.

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.

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.
