Japan is my happy place. Ever since I was a child, this country has always been close to my heart. I've been learning their language for the past years and this year I was able to use it somehow. Dreams really do come true.
For our second day, we decided to explore Asakusa, tried Dango, paid our respects. Get to see our Fortune & thats where I tried my first Hot Matcha Latte from SB. After that we went to Odaiba. They say it is the most high-tech entertainment hub on an artificial island. We saw the Rainbow Bridge, Statue of liberty (but it is under construction), the huge Gundam Figure, the Daikanransha Ferris wheel. We also went to Team Lab.
Third day, we dedicated the whole day to the #HappiestPlaceOnEarth and where dreams come true, Tokyo Disney Sea. We chose TDS because upon a little research they said that this one can be more enjoyed by adults. We really had fun and we felt like kids running around the themed park. My favorite ride was the "Journey to the center of the earth". Lines can be long, you have to wait for 30-50 minutes max if the park is busy. You can also enjoy the food inside, they're very delicious.

Our 4th Day is meant to fulfill my childhood dream, which is to go to Sanrio Puroland where my favorite character Hello Kitty lives. It was so much, I felt like a kid again. For the record I saw kids running around with their parents, teenage girls with their friends and there's us 2 adults enjoying the view. We also tried the famous ramen place, Ichiran Ramen.
5th Day is for Shopping and errands day, we went to Shibuya.
Upon arriving at the airport we felt the cold breeze just right after setting our foot outside. We took airport photos, called our parents that we safely landed. But we had this little problem with our Bus transfer. We forgot that we have an hour difference, but luckily they still acknowledge our booking even though our bus left already.
We went to Shinjuku, where our hotel is located, APA HOTEL - SHINJUKU KABUCHIKO is the name. The room size is okay for two people, you have the television just right in front of the bed. You have the vanity area, wherein you can do your make up, writings and using your laptop. As for the shower & comfort room I give it 10/10 it's not that big but everything you need is there. Access? it's very accessible to everything. There are 711, FamilyMart, Sega, Mall, Donkijote and even the famous Ichiran Ramen can be found in the area. The train station is also 10 minutes away.

- DAY 4
5th Day is for Shopping and errands day, we went to Shibuya.
We went to the Biggest Starbucks in Tokyo. Its size is 32,000 square ft. It is said to be bigger than the previous largest, the Shanghai Reserve Roastery. It is a four-story building which is over-looking at the famous Meguro River.
Meguro River
- It was partly designed by Kengo Kuma, an Olympic Stadium Architect.
- The River is a famous spot for Cherry Blossom viewing during Spring.
- It is one of the shooting location of "Good Morning Call" in Netflix and a lot more Jmovies & Jdramas.
- I was also lucky enough to find other nearby shooting locations.
Hachiko Memorial Statue
- It is a famous spot honoring the loyalty of the Akita Dog, Hachiko.
- This spot is usually busy with tourist trying to get their photos taken.
Shibuya Crossing
- It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachiko exit.
- It stops the vehicle from all directions allowing the pedestrian to inundate the entire intersection.
- It is said to be the busiest intersection in the world.
To get nice photos we decided to go to Mag's Park.
Day 6 was by far my favorite part of the trip, we went to Hakone. It was my first time to see and play with the snow. We also went to an Onsen. The Onsen Part is really satisfying because it boost my self esteem #BodyPositivity. Watch my vlog.
Day 7 & 8 is dedicated for errands, additional shopping, food trips. Travel back to Shinjuku and we explored Akihabara.
