The last past days

(Anicia)

Sorry for not updating the last 5/6 days. We had a very busy week exploring multiple places. This journal will be very very long with MANY pictures what we've been through the past days.

Okay first up!!

Day 1: Shinjuku ( square enix store) / Ginza

I actually liked the places allot but well no money hahaha. Spend too much on goodies XD in ikebukuro. All the  famous brands are located overthere. It's like the pc hoofdstraat though.

Oohh oohh before I forget! In shinjuku we also went to the final fantasy store. Man it was hidden!!! Difficult to find. After walking for an hour lieske found the store. Haaaapppyyy! It was small but really nice! ALLOT of final fantasy stuffies. Bought a beautiful wayfinder necklace from kingdom hearts birth by sleep. It was expensive but totally worth it. The cafe was really nice too. I ordered a cloud ice cream kinda cocktail and moogle cappucchino with caramel. It was so cute! The icecream was really tasty XD. Really will come back one day!

Kagurazaka

 Loved that place as well. Big echo the karaoke bar was my favorite. I sang so loud that my throat was soar the next day hahaha. Rock songs aren't good for me XD XD.

Loved the well known restaurant as well. Forgot the name. I am sorry.. The food was good. It was more western related. Ordered a mozzarella toast with truffle sauce and another toast with egg on top. Ofcourse like we always do an ice cream afterwards hihihi.

Day 2:  Shibuya Man ALLOT of teenagers! And J-rockers. We went to the famous shop shibuya 109. They had cute clothing, nice bags etc. 

Ofcourse allot of food restaurants. Western restaurants like mc donalds, KFC and burgerking. MAN allot!! It's getting more popular... We also went to the hachiko statue. Famous dog. ( Crowded as hell).

After shibuya we went to harajuku ( Takeshita dori). Loved the shops sooo much overthere! Bought a wallet and some shirts for my collegue and brother. 

They have larger sizes as well so clothing for everyone  ^__^. They also have allot of crepes ice cream shops. Still have to try it!

After takeshita dori we walked a bit. Saw a nice park and used to famous cosplay bridge. The cosplayers aren't there anymore sadly but atleast I was there. 

Day 3: Shibamata. 

Next to Miyajima I really liked shibamata. I really like the many small shops, the traditional food. The place really had it's charm. We both did a  bicyle tour with Kenji. He was so sweet and told us about the history of shibamata, the nature and park was beautiful to see. He also showed us the mystery waters. A big ship sunk mysteriously under water without any reason. The titanic of the shibamata waters he said. Which made me laugh a bit. After the tour we went to see the tempels. We had to wash our hands first. Then we walked to a dragon statue god doing his dance. I sadly cant read kanji so I didnt knew who he was and which god he was :/. 

We went to a nice restaurant and ate delicious curry <3 <3.

Day 4: Asakusa.

Hmmm.. To be honest I didn't like Asakusa that much. Beautiful temples, different kind of ice cream flavors, Allot of traditional shops and restaurants that's it basically. A shit load of tourists everywhere. Greedy like fuck to get pictures at the temples. Some owners  I really wanted to punch them in the face. They were sooooo rude . No! Not my cup of tea. 

Walked a bit more, Made some pictures here and there, and left.

Day 5: Akihabara. 

 Akihabaraaaaaaaaa!  Electric town Was fun! 

Went to almost every shop they had. Think we spend 10 hours or more overthere. They had allot of anime and manga! Also hentai for men ALLOT!!!. 

Bought allot of stuff from yes  again shingeki!! The series are really really popular at the moment, so was in heaven in most of the stores :D. We also went to the maidcafe. Was really nice. Highlight was that when the maid did her dance. She made allot of eye contact towards us to do the dance together with her. I just clapped loudly together with another gentleman XD. 

When the show was done. We also visit a danso cafe. Danso means girl dressed as boy. It was interesting! You do need to speak or understand japanese well or else the communication will be well... they wont speak to you at all. A waste for your money. The maid cafe their english isnt good either but atleast they tried. 

Anyway, Akihabara is really the place to be when you love, anime, manga, figures and all that. Allot of good restaurants so you certainly won't get bored ^______^.

Hope you all still like our journal! Today is rest day. Tomorrow another busy day at mount fuji, fuji Q highland.

Not the best picture but every other day we have to take the subway we have to walk on this bridge. Pretty blue big bridge XD

(Lieske) Sorry that we didn’t upload for a while, it’s hard to post something everyday, especially if you have a late night ;)

Shinjuku/Ginza was not special if you don’t go there for shopping, I saw allot of rich girls who had the latest trends clothing. If you like expensive brands it’s the place for you. The only thing that was great was the final fantasy store that I founded after a long walk. This store was new and had a café in it. We both ordered a cappucchino, An moogle pancake and Cloud ice cream ^^. The stuff  over there was great, but I saw nothing there for me what I really wanted.

Shibuya was not very special either. We decided to play some games in the arcade hall what we mostly did when we visited places in Japan hahaha! The only thing that was special is that I finally saw the famous statue of the dog Hachiko. I made a few pictures of it, I wanted to make more but it was quite crowded sadly and we had no time. After that we went further to Harajuku.

Harajuku was very nice, we saw a forest to walk through next to the jingo bridge, but due of our schedule we didn't had time to actually walk trough the forests, so we went to Takeshita street instead where we saw allot of great stuff and clothing. Bought a cute Owl school bag, which is my favorite animal btw ^^, Finally I won't have to wear my old boring school bag anymore, hahaha! I also bought a cute Lolita skirt and a cute sleeping Pajama set there hihi XD

Akihabara was great, saw allot of awesome stuff there and we also went to the maid café which was allot of fun, the maids were nice to us and they showed so much interest when they saw my Hange Zoe keychain. We talked about out favorite  Shingeki character and such and made a Shingeki pose after that hihi! They also were very interested when they saw my Body Line bag where I bought my Lolita skirt in Harajuku. Even the Head-cook liked my skirt ^^. After our little talk, one of the maids went on stage and  did a little show where everyone has to follow her movements which was very fun to do ^^.

Shibamata was beautiful and also a peaceful place to go, we made a little tour trip with a very friendly guy who talked about places in Shibamata, and he shown us a Japanese titanic on the river which they didn’t knew how it sunk haha. The place was also well known for their love of a Japanese actor called Kiyoshi Atsumi. We saw it everywhere and there was also a bronze statue of him at the station. I bought some stuff for my family there and ate delicious ramen soup ^^

 Asakusa  We searched so long for this place. We asked many people how to get there, since someone lied about the name in their blog.  The temples were beautiful and there were allot of different market stands, We tried some odd ice cream flavour at one stand, I took sweet red bean and it was delicious, but I almost didn’t wanted to eat It since the seller needed some manners. I thought Most Japanese people had some manners, but I saw allot of people who sneezed without their hands for their mouth in Japan so far yuck!! 

It saddens me a bit since I read so much about the manners and stuff. Was prepared to follow the rules but it looks like it was not needed.. At last we went to Kagurazaka to eat something there. I took pizza, since I was not in the mood for Japanse food and they had only cold ramen soup XD. The food was very nice and they had a cute worker there hihi! 

Before we went home we did some karaoke, which was allot of fun. It was not isolated very well but we didn’t care and we screamed our lungs out XD.

Tomorrow we will go to Fuji Q high land. I hope it will be fun ^^
