Now if you’ve read the last couple of days posts, then this may come as a surprise, but we woke up and went to a nearby café. Though a key difference with this one is the fact that it is a Japanese pancake café! If you’ve never had or seen Japanese pancakes, they are likeContinue reading “Day 7 – Universal Studio Sightseeing”

Day 6 – Shrine Hopping
For no reason in particular, this was the latest I got out of bed the entirety of the trip, finally getting up at around 9am or so. I looked up nearby cafés and went to one a couple streets west. It was a small coffee themed café, which sounds like something most cafés would be,Continue reading “Day 6 – Shrine Hopping”
Day 5 – Kyoto Bound
The last day in Tokyo until we head back on our last night in Japan is spent primarily trying to get to Tokyo Station in order to catch a Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto. After checking out and grabbing our luggage, we get a coffee and Onigiri by Akasaka station, then catch a train toContinue reading “Day 5 – Kyoto Bound”
Day 4 – Mesmerising Art and a Magical Station
We woke up and packed up, as today marks our last day at Asakusabushi before we spend one night in Akasaka. It apparently did not occur to us how much space all of the souvenirs we purchased so far would take up, as on top of our backpacks, we are both now carrying a plasticContinue reading “Day 4 – Mesmerising Art and a Magical Station”
Day 3 – Nerd Stores Galore
My alarm rings at 7:00am, slowly working our way into getting used to early mornings. We went out for a coffee back at Westside, as it’s close, cool, and made a good mocha. After finishing our drink, we take a walk through Asakusabushi over to Akihabara just to kill some time. Although Asakusabushi is somewhatContinue reading “Day 3 – Nerd Stores Galore”
Day 2 – City Lights On and Pokémon
Our first full day starts at around 8:00pm after a lengthy 10 hour nap. While the long and sleepless day yesterday definitely helps with adjusting to the time zone and reducing jet lag, it unfortunately does not alleviate the problem completely. So despite the long rest, the first thought on both of our minds was;Continue reading “Day 2 – City Lights On and Pokémon”
Day 1 – Third Time on the 13 Hour Flight
Like most trips I’ve been on, I’m up the night before we leave, double checking my packed bag, writing a to-do list of what needs to be done in the morning, and excitedly lying in bed trying to get some sleep in. Unlike all my other trips though, I’m also pacing around my apartment, paranoidContinue reading “Day 1 – Third Time on the 13 Hour Flight”
