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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is it, my first Spring in Japan, and my first time to travel solo! I didn’t think twice about booking a flight when I saw Cebu Pacific’s promo. I have been to Japan several times, but I have always wanted to go in the spring time, when sakura (cherry blossoms) are in full bloom. […]
On our third day, I woke up already feeling anxious about leaving Japan the next day. There were a lot of things in my mind that I wanted to do, places I wanted to visit – but there’s just never enough time each time. I got pressured thinking we only have 2 and a half […]
To be honest, we (almost) had nothing on our itinerary. This was just going to be a “do-whatever-we-want-to-do” trip, except for one or two which Hannah wanted to visit. One of these is a store with 7 floors of anything you can put your hands on (to do creative work, I mean) – Tokyu Hands in Shibuya. […]
