Back in America now, so I'm going to do a quick Tokyo catch-up post today before going into my last couple of weeks in Kagoshima and what I'm up to now. Sorry it's taken so long for me to get these posts out. I was quite busy with packing and trying to do things during my last month in Kagoshima.

Ok, so I was in Tokyo July 11th-15th. July 13th, I've already discussed since it was the Macross concert :3 and that was the only thing I did on the 13th. Day one, the 11th, I left Kagoshima around 12pm and got to Tokyo around 4. My hotel was in Ikebukuro and Nehma stayed in the same hotel so when I finally found it the two of us went off to have dinner and explore Ikebukuro some. We went to this really yummy Italian restaurant and then went to explore the Metropolitan Plaza. Went to the Etude House store there! I love Etude House products, they're so cute. I bought a white eyeliner and a lip tint :3

Day two, the 12th, we went to Sunshine City and went to the Sunshine City Aquarium and the Sunshine60 Observatory. This was probably one of the best aquariums I've been to! It's really small, but it's still a really good aquarium. I liked it a lot! The observatory was awesome too. I wish it had been a clearer day :( It was kinda hazy. The elevator ride was seriously a trip. All the lights turned off and there was a celestial, glow-in-the-dark star background all over the walls and ceiling.

BABY OTTERS!

After we left Sunshine City we popped down to Harajuku for a bit and just wandered around Takeshitadori.

I found this "Emerica" hat. I also bought a cat face shirt dress. I worse sandals, which was probably a bad idea, so my feet started hurting really bad and we ended up sitting on a street corner and people watching for a while. Also had some yummy shaved ice at Takeshitadori :3

That was about it for day two. Day three was Macross concert day, so see that post for more details!

Day four, we had originally planned to go to Yokohama, but my feet and ankles swelled up in a not so healthy looking way and I was afraid to walk too much. I had originally planned to just stay in bed, but the hotel room was so dark and depressing I couldn't handle it, so I ended up calling Nehma and meeting her at Ikebukuro station to go explore some more. We went to this cute cafe in Ikebukuro, Milky Way Cafe. I saw a few things about it online and thought it was adorable, so I wanted to go. It's a constellation themed restaurant and cafe!

After that we left Ikebukuro to go to the Pokemon Center. I couldn't leave Japan without visiting at least once. I took this nice shot of Tokyo Tower too! After we left the Pokemon Center we also caught a little bit of a free idol concert. They had no camera signs every where so I didn't get any pictures. I looked it up though and apparently it was for the debut of Kotone Mai. 

Finally, day five. My last day in Tokyo. I started at Shibuya. I wanted to find some of the stores I went to the first time I went to Tokyo, but I couldn't find them. I didn't really have a lot of time to search either since I had a few things I wanted to do and my flight was at 4. I did go to Shibuya 109 again though. After that I went to Tokyo Station because I wanted to check out the Rilakkuma Store there. I was looking for a specific plush and didn't want to go back to Kiddy Land to look for it.

I decided to go back to the Pokemon Center too. Just to look around again. I think I was hoping it wouldn't be quite as busy as it was the day before. It was still busy though ~_~ I got to see another free live though! This time it was Hachikin Girls. I took some video this time, but I don't have it uploaded any where. One of them saw me watching and waved hahaha. They were super cute. But, after that it was time for me to hop on the monorail to go to Haneda and back to Kagoshima :( And thus my Tokyo adventures ended. I had fun, it could've been more fun, and I wish I had gotten to do more. Hopefully I'll get to go back one day though.

Next post I make will be about my last few weeks in Kagoshima and how I'm handling being back in America after living in Japan for four months :) I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do with this blog once I've finished posts about Japan. I'm thinking I may start using it as a study blog or something.
