Harajuku, Omotesando, Shibuya

Today was a public holiday so wherever we decided to go.. it was going to be hectic. Harajuku and Omotesando was so busy! I’m guessing all the countryside people came in to Tokyo for the long weekend to do some shopping. We first headed to Takeshita Street.. and feasted our eyes on the interesting alter […]

Ikuta Park, Kawasaki

Today we went to Ikuta Park in Kawasaki. It’s a huge park surrounded by small woods of oak located in Tama Hills. As well as being a great place for a picnic there’s a Planetarium, Observatory, Art Gallery and a Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum. After going for a brief walk around the place and […]

Final Day in Osaka

The hotel we stayed at was so nice. It was the biggest hotel room I’ve seen for Japan. I got a suite that had a huge bath tub and bathroom, luggage wardrobe and a huge king sized bed. I enjoyed a face mask and bubble bath courtesy of the hotel too. Haha I really relaxed […]
