[Kimberly's Tokyo Hanami Trip🌸] #02 Kawaii, Sushi, Pancake's 2nd day🐰🍣🥞

Japan lover @KimberlyAnnG, Let’s experience “Japanese” on her second day👩‍🦱

View the crazy Shibuya crossroads from Starbucks:coffee:. As it is opened from early morning, it is a pleasant way to drink coffee​:yum:.

The Japanese morning walk is best at a shrine⛩. Meiji Jingu Shrine is a representative shrine in Japan. It is one of the largest shrines.

This large number of Sake barrels were donated to the shrine. One of the specialties of Meiji Jingu🍶.

Did you know this? This corner is designed to be 88 degrees instead of 90 degrees. Because in Japan “8” is lucky and “9” is unlucky. This is the delicacy of the Japanese😮!

We need to wash our hands before entering the shrine. This is very strict. Because shrines are places that must be kept extremely clean​:shinto_shrine::sparkles:.

In addition, I bow my head when entering. This is a courtesy to God. Japan’s God is so kind. However, we strictly protect each other.

After making a visit, she was the first to receive a “御朱印 Goshuin”. This is a certificate that you came to see God and learned. It is written in beautiful Japanese kanji, so there are many foreign travelers collectors.

By the way, did you think that this vast forest is natural? Actually it is artificial!! It was “processed” like a natural forest. This is the Japanese😲.

A crazy street appears in 5 minutes on foot from this vast nature😲. Here is Harajuku (Takeshita street). It is the most “Kawaii street” in the world🌎. This is a teen’s street, which is crowded with junior high school and high school girls👧. This congestion continues all year round!

Anyway everything is a teen😆!

Harajuku specialties are Souffle Pancake:pancakes:. Many stores are in competition. It is very popular with Japanese people now​:yum:.

In the afternoon We went to preview the cherry blossoms🌸. It is still a little early. We will visit again in the second half.


She is a long-awaited sushi at night🍣!! “Triton” is a sushi restaurant that originated in Hokkaido. Did you know? Hokkaido food is particularly delicious. Because it has been importing American high technology agriculture 100 years ago🚜.


And we go back to the hostel and eat the convenience store parfait popular with Japanese. Very cheap but very delicious​:yum::ice_cream:!!
She would have experienced ”Japaneseness” today🗾.
