Yesterday L and I went to Harajuku and Shinjuku. It was such a contrast to the "old town" Asakusa, there were large buildings, department stores and UK & USA brands we don't have in Adelaide. We also went for a walk in the Meiji shrine and gardens. It was really beautiful. There were so many people down the shopping strip Takeshita dori and I got really crowd sick. It is also BLAZINGLY HOT and ultra humid. After Harajuku we went to Shinjuku which seemed to come alive after it got dark. We felt like we were really in Tokyo, bright lights/big city. We had dinner in a building that was covered in jigsaw pieces and sat in booths that were like little huts. It was delicious. Then we had to navigate through the Shinjuku railway station> busiest in the world, and made our way back to the hostel for a good nights sleep. Traveling is totally exhausting.
Condomania, Harajuku. If its not on, its not on.
Meiji Shrine was like an Oasis in he middle of the city. I was surrounded by a large forest and it felt like you were a million miles away for civilisation.
Takeshita Dori, Harajuku
Everyone rides bikes!
Our delicious dinner: furry soy beans, Tofu, some pickled stuff, Sushi that we ate before we took the photo, and a salad that came after.
