April 2016 Another vlog from our trip to Tokyo. This video was recorded in the end of april. Here we are doing some shopping in Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya and Akihabara ~ —— There are so many places to shop all over Tokyo, and I won’t cover many of them here. I didn’t do that much shopping during this trip, but here are a few of the usual places that we visited. Miss Saigon, Shibuya: We started our day with some delicious vietnamese pho and spring rolls at a place in Shibuya, hidden away in a small building. The food was very delicious, but don't forget to ask for extra chili since they didn't add it (maybe they assumed we couldn't handle spices haha). And the restaurant had a sort of "vietnamese" vibe to it which I really liked. http://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1303/A130301/13004826/ Shinjuku station: There are a lot of shopping malls in and around Shinjuku station. I quickly walked through Lumine EST to visit some of my favourite shops. I usually shop there, or at Studio Alta which is just outside the station. I didn’t go there this time tho. Harajuku - Takeshita street: A fashion loving teenagers paradise! Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) in Harajuku is a narrow, roughly 400 meter long street lined by shops, boutiques, cafes and, of course, crepes. Since it's a very popular street, it becomes extremely busy and crowded on the weekends. We then took a walk through the quiet and lovely neighbourhood of Omotesando, and headed for Shibuya. Shibuya 109: With eight floors and two basement levels, navigating the iconic shopping mall of Shibuya 109 can be difficult. And it's usually very crowded on weekends. I always pick up a floor guide on my way in, so I know directly where to go. But despite the narrow and crowded space, it's still one of my favourite places to shop in Tokyo. Akihabara: My boyfriend Johan had no interest of joining my shopping crusade in Shibuya, so he headed over to Akihabara instead. Akihabara (also known as Akiba) is famous for its many electronics shops, as well as stores devoted to anime and manga. In other words - an otakus paradise! Ichiryuu (一龍) in Komazawa We ended our evening at Japanese style Korean BBQ restaurant located close to where our friends were staying. They had really good quality meat for a reasonable price, so of course we had to try as much of it as we could. I really enjoyed their kalbi. A good yakiniku restaurant if you happen to be in the neighbourhood. http://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1317/A131707/13072486/ --- ▼ SONG IN THE VIDEO ▼ Silent Partner - How it began (Youtube audio library) Kevin MacLeod - Life of Riley Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400054 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- ▼ EQUIPMENT ▼ Canon Cybershop G7X.
