All right so we're just on our way to the train station right now we're in a bit
of a hurry because our current three-day pass runs out at 3 p.m.
Finally we're leaving the train. We've taken like 6 transfers so we're excited for fresh air.
we've been on a lot of trains. But the good news is is you don't have to spend
hundreds of dollars on taxis to get around you can just take the train.
we're outside now we need to figure out where to go.
so if we walk in there should be a big fountain
well that's a shrine over here and then harajuku, so we probably wanna
cross through it back towards the other area.
It looks like there's a lot of things happening here.
We're at Yoyogi Park and we just got the train.
And it's very busy.
As it is everywhere.
But there's lots of pretty blossoms
this is the center of Yogogi Park
Pretty crazy
I actually read about this
people like to come and have lunch and have some drinks under the cherry blossoms it's a
really popular thing to do as you can see
literally hundreds of thousands of people here with wine a beer and cute
little puppy dogs. And even though there's a million people there's no garbage.
Yeah it's nice.
OK which way?
We decided to visit the Meiji Shrine
Which is really close. It probably took like ten minutes of walking to get here.
It's so busy the amount of people here is absolutely
insane. It's a really cool place lots of different like architecture and bridges
and obviously the typical tourist things if you want to get dressed up in
a kimono or as a samurai and get your taken by someone
Not busy at all...
So we're in Harajuku and we're getting a crepe, apparently they're famous for crepes.
This is the current situation
They actually have cheesecake in the crepe
Blueberry Jam, with cheesecake
and they wrap them up like an ice cream cone.
all right you excited highly recommend you come to Marian crepes and Harajuku
delicious and the line looks like it'll take forever but honestly what was it
like 10 minutes.
Not even
It's sweet. It's banana, cheesecake, chocolate ice cream, whipped cream
chocolate sauce in a delicious crepe.
Megan really wanted to come to this place you can get the five big stacked
you can get a unicorn
we're just getting one flavor
Hi
froggie
all right we got froggy
Froggy
ice cream is just so much funnier in Japan
of course this is what their ice cream looks like
We got Froggy, it's Green Tea and Vanilla
with chocolate eyeballs
It's really good
what's the name of the place it's called eyes well yeah
It's at the end of Harajuku
check them out on Instagram check out their Instagram they got lots of cool
little animals.
We just went into this really cool cosplay store
and I bought a necklace and the outfits are absolutely amazing.
It's the most creative stuff. It's like where Lady Gaga gets her inspiration.
we are going to head to the Shibuya crossing which is basically exactly like
it sounds basically a ton of people are just gonna be crossing a sidewalk
It's a big deal in Tokyo
we did the Tokyo scramble Tokyo scramble is been done check mark alright so that
is the end of our Harajuku tour. we are now gonna head back on the train to
Shinjuku because they have lots of options for cute small little
bars and restaurants and we haven't eaten yet so that is where we are heading now
here in Shinjuku again for a second time.
Golden Gai
and we are going to do some whiskey tastings
it's actually the biggest bar in Golden Gai and even with
it being that the biggest bar in Golden Gai it only has maybe room for like 20
people up so it just goes to show you the how like cool this area is. all the
bars here are like 3 to 6 people it's like very very normal a bar here with 20
people is like unheard of but yeah if we wanted to kind of like try this one so
that we would have a contrast.
yeah yesterday we tried that I think had room for five people.
It's a good place to go out and meet people, but it's definitely
all tourists. Which is fine we're tourists. It's a tourist trap but a good one.
so this is yakisoba vegetarian style with egg on top and the verdict is
delicious hmm
how perfect is that there's a perfect iced ball
generous pour and ready for drinking I'm in trouble
dynamite very good yeah really nice it's very easy to drink which obviously
if you go like with the cheaper whiskey it can be like a little bit like hard on
the palate this is very very smooth
How many time to Japan
- first time much time
oh yeah I hope you enjoy Japan and Ginza
yeah enjoy it very much it's very nice.
A warm towel when you first sit down.
And at first we
thought it was just to wash your hands but it's actually your napkin for the
whole meal
so it's kinda interesting.
meghan thinks it's really really really interesting
