Tokyo Disneyland February 2018

Howdy, travelers! Last year around February I took a short trip to Tokyo Disneyland.

We (mostly I) wanted to stay at the Disney hotel because it was right next to the park and you can bring dogs to the room, but it was around $200 a day 💸

This is the entrance area where you can buy souvenirs like plush dolls and mugs. Even though the weather wasn't that clear, the park was packed!

Even hamburgers were shaped like Mickey Mouse 🐭

Oh dear, it's C3PO!

I don't exactly remember this ride, but it was a space movie with moving seats.  We waited around 40 minutes.

We rode a boat at a jungle-themed area. 

This was the Lilo & Stitch movie theater. I don't really recommend this to foreigners because everything is in Japanese. 

Good picture spot 📸

Haha. this was a funny hamburger that Ray called 'Tumor burger' at McDonalds... 

This is an octopus salad I had at some Izakaya. Hmm, wasn't really into it.

We also walked around and found a huge Muji store!

They also had a cafeteria on the first floor.

Going home!

I don't remember the name, but back in Korea near LuceBridge hotel this gopchang place was awesome 👅😻

Tokyo DAY 5, May 2017

Tokyo station

Since it was May 5th, most stores were closed. :( I recommend going to Tokyo station if you need to find restaurants or buy souvenirs before your return flight.

Late night shopping

Did you know Uniqlo in Japan is much cheaper than other countries? We bought some pants and t-shirts! 

a shiba inu, I think, in front of an Apple Store.

My Korean credit card with UnionPay worked at this Japanese izakaya/sashimi restaurant!

Time to head back home... 😭 We went to Kamata station and found buses that go to Haneda airport.

Capsule Inn for male only

We reserved this capsule inn to store our luggage. I couldn't go in because it's male only. There's also a shower and sauna inside. 💦🚿♨🏨

Pretty neat I think :D Why aren't there female ones in Kamata? 

At an Italian bistro

yummy margherita pizza; around 1500 yen

matcha pudding at Starbucks; around 300 yen

Overall, Tokyo was awesome~ want to go back soon, but Japanese is kinda hard to learn with all the kanji.

Meiji Shrine, Tokyo-DAY 4, May 2017

Ray being goofy at Meiji Shrine

Ohoho, I'm in Tokyo~

We went to Meiji Shrine, but it was closed because it's a holiday. We still enjoyed the park🌲🌳💮⁕ a lot since it's much bigger than normal parks. I think Japan's weather is really nice at this time and felt like the air quality was much better in Tokyo compared to Seoul...

Can we bottle this wonderful air and bring it to Seoul...?

Old trees that looked like at least a few hundred years old.

Japanese gardens are indeed beautiful!

sake barrels stacked up.

Don't remember the name of this place, but some parts were under construction.

Praying for their wishes to come true.

Somewhere in Harajuku

 I've heard of Harajuku many times and decided to lunch there since it's very close to the shrine. We found an American-themed restaurant with many toys...

Back to the Future car

I think it was about 1000 yen for one plate. They were So-so.
