Tokyo Japan: Maid Cafe

October 31, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 16: Our Awkward Experience at a Maid Cafe メイドカフェ  in Akihabara (Last Day in Japan) Our last day in Tokyo was short, and did not afford a lot of time to do things. We packed up our stuff and checked out of our hostel (left our bags at reception). We walked to Akihabara with the intent of trying to find a Maid Cafe to have our last meal at. It took a lot of nerve to finally decide […]

Tokyo, Japan: Robot Restaurant ロボットレストラン

October 30, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 15: Robot Restaurant ロボットレストラン , Mandarake まんだらけ, Genki Sushi 元気寿司 , and The Black Kuro Burger Day fifteen was all about getting a few last things accomplished. It was our last full day in Japan, and we wanted to make the most of it! We started off the day walking to Akihabara and grabbing a coffee along the way. We crossed over the river near Akihabara and just generally enjoyed exploring the area and the beautiful weather. In […]

Tokyo, Japan: Tokyo Tower

October 29, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 14: Tokyo Tower 東京タワー, Meiji Shrine 明治神宮, Ueno Park and Karaoke カラオケ Booth! Day fourteen was packed with things to see and do! I had been to Tokyo twice before, and had a list of places that I wanted to take Jives to see before our time was up in Japan. We were really lucky with weather during our stay in Japan, the autumn leaves were just changing colour, and the weather was much warmer than back home! […]

Tokyo, Japan: Shibuya Halloween

October 16, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 13 (Part2): The Mayhem of a Shibuya 渋谷 Halloween ハロウィーン Halloween in Japan was so intense that it warrants it’s own post. To reiterate…Halloween in Tokyo. Wow! When we realized that we’d be spending Halloween in Tokyo, we did some research online, and came to the conclusion that Japan doesn’t really celebrate Halloween. Man were we wrong. Somehow our search must have been outdated, but if there is one thing that Tokyo has down to a science, it […]

Tokyo, Japan: Ghibli Museum

October 15, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 13 (Part 1): Tsujiki Fish Market, Ghibli Museum 三鷹の森ジブリ美術館 Halloween in Tokyo. Wow! When we realized that we’d be spending Halloween in Tokyo, we did some research online, and came to the conclusion that Japan doesn’t really celebrate halloween. Man were we wrong. Somehow our search must have been outdated, but if there is one thing that Tokyo has down to a science, it is Halloween. How could a nation of cos players not love a holiday designed […]

Kawaguchiko, Japan: Mount Fuji

October 2, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 12: 富士山 Mount Fuji, 河口湖Kawaguchiko and the return to Tokyo 東京 We woke up really early in our Ryokan, and I walked to the curtains to draw them back and get some light into the room. There was Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji San had been right outside out window all night, but we had arrived too late and it had been to dark to see him! What a surprise, and what an amazing view from our room at […]

Travelling Hiroshima to Kawaguchiko, Japan

September 10, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 10: Travelling to Kawaguchiko and Mount Fuji Day ten was a long day of travelling, made even longer when we accidentally boarded the wrong train headed west instead of east. Oops. However, now we can say we’ve been to Yamaguchi. The train ride from Hiroshima was a bit complicated, but the lady at the Yamaguchi station set up all the tickets for us and printed out a time table for us! From Hiroshima (or Yamaguchi if you mess […]

Miyajima & Hiroshima, Japan

September 10, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 9: Miyajima 宮島, More deer and a Street festival. We grabbed a quick vending machine coffee and set off to the train station, heading to Miyajima Island for the day! The island is actually called Itsukushima, but is more commonly know as Miyajima or “shrine island”. We took the train on the Sanyo Line to Miyajimaguchi Station which took about half an hour. From there we caught the ferry to Miyajima. Both the train and the ferry are […]

Travelling Kyoto to Hiroshima, Japan

September 10, 2016 by hollyGS

Japan Day 8: Travelling to Hiroshima We didn’t do a lot besides train travel on our 8th day, but Hiroshima city ended up being both Jives and my self’s favourite city in Japan. Hiroshima felt both rural and metropolitan. The main mode of transportation is street car, which gives the city an old-timey feel, whilst the downtown core lined with arcades and electronic shops, makes it feel very modern. Most sites are within walking distance of one another, and after […]
