My goal for this trip was really to explore places in Tokyo that I’ve never been to before. Shibuya, I have visited the most in Tokyo, but I wanted to hangout here for today for some window-shopping and Pokemon Go! Hachiko Square Shibuya is equivalent to Hachiko and the crazy scramble crossing. I’ve posted about […]
After putting this off of my itinerary, I finally found time to visit Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden today. And I’m glad that I postponed it to a day when I had more free time, because the place is enormous! The last time I went here with my friends, we were in a rush. We arrived […]
Although day tours are convenient, because of the distance and the length of the commute, it can still be tiring and draining. After two consecutive day tours, including waking up early for the pick-ups, my body caved in to sleep. In short, I woke up at 12 noon! My remaining days until I leave on […]
It’s weird for most that even though I have been to Japan several times, I have never seen Mt. Fuji yet. The truth is, I have tried to see the great mountain on my very first visit (from Hakone), but he didn’t show up. They said that Mt. Fuji is a shy mountain, showing itself […]
The second half of the day tour is Enoshima Island, well-known for its shrine to the goddess who brings love to those who pray for it! Enoshima is a mountain island, with observation decks on the peak, and the shrines spread out in two levels. There’s also a light house, an aquarium, and tons of […]
Today, I booked a day tour to Kamakura and Enoshima Island through Japanican.com. Since I have 10 days to kill in Tokyo, and planning (and executing) can be a bit painful, a paid tour would be convenient. It costs money, but since I’m traveling alone, getting to these places I booked will be more difficult […]
Another day of sleeping more than the usual because of the cold weather! I can imagine how hard it would be to actually work in Japan and wake up every morning. For today, I only have one thing on my itinerary – Yokohama! It’s a city I’ve always wanted to visit because of two anime […]
After a 3PM lunch, I was thinking about where to go next. Shinjuku Gyoen, which was supposed to be for this morning? Roppongi to get a good view of Tokyo Tower at night? Then I realized it’s the best time to go to Odaiba because of the Gundam Unicord transformation (I thought this only happened […]
Before I post the Sakura photos, I’ll take you to the rest of the day first. This really felt like one of the longest days ever, so please bear with the split posts. Imperial Palace After walking around at Ueno Park, up next on my itinerary is the Imperial Palace. As my feet are already […]
Having slept at 8:30PM last night, I woke up at 6:30 and decided to start my day early! I no longer showered (because I showered before I slept, and that’s how Japanese people do it), so I just washed my face! My hostel does not have free breakfast, which I chose on purpose so that […]
