First stop of the day, Harajuku!
No plans on where to go for breakfast, so I did a quick search on Trip Advisor for breakfast places nearby and this place caught my eye - Eggs ’N Things. Had a sudden crave for pancakes there and my order came out with 6 pieces, couldn't finish all of them :(
Check out their website here if you're interested in some American breakfast in Japan!
I ordered the Macadamia nut pancakes which was really just OK… Not that fantastic but portion was huge!
Headed for Yoyogi park and Meiji Shrine after that.
Yoyogi park
Address: 2-1 Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya, Tokyo 151-0052, Japan
A lot of people doing their things around the park, it was a nice walk with the cooling weather.
Meiji Shrine next
Meiji Shrine
Address: 1-1 Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya, Tokyo 151-8557, Japan
Barrels that contained sake for offering to the deities
You’ll need to cleanse your hands and mouth before entering the shrine
Lucky to also see a Japanese wedding photoshoot at the shrine
The shrine itself
Headed to Takeshita Street thereafter, the place for the latest fashion trend and cosplayers! It’s crazy crowded on a Saturday.
Lots of interesting shop for young people, unfortunately not for me. Though 1 place that interested me is the Calbee+ shop, where they fry the chips right in front of you and you can eat them immediately.
Harajuku also popular for their crepes. I ordered one from Marion crepe, nothing to shout about though!
Next up, Shibuya! It’s really damn crazy lots of people.
The famous Hachiko statue
First view of Shibuya once u exit from the train station
Time-lapse of the famous Shibuya crossing which I took.
Read somewhere that there is an average of 5,000 people crossing this every time.
Settled for Genki Sushi for dinner.
Stay tuned for day 3 where I will head to Kyoto!
