A [Japan-Sunday] in Japan - Harajuku and beyond

Today I got up at 8:30 AM, my sleep was OK, not the best, but OK.
The breakfast in my hotel was good, they offer miso soup, onigiri and other stuff, it's tasty.

The sightseeing started with Harajuku, some of the strange shops are funny

They also offered crepes with sausage...

CREEPY!!

What's up BROS?

BTW: once again time for a small geography lesson:

After Harajuku I went to the Yoyogi park.
 

Later that day Shibuya was on my schedule, it was as I remembered it, but rainy.

I also saw something strange... (picture above)

And sure, Hachiko got my yearly hug

Last year at Halloween Burher King served black burgers, this year AKA(i) ones - RED! Tomatoes are the answer of how to do it.

The sign is right, isn't it?

Some stuff at Mandarake

Enjoying Yakitori - chicken on skewers

Tasty hearts in barbecue sauce

ery "cheap" heart and pyramid shaped melons, I guess we all know the need of this...

If you want to make Han Solo Ice cubes you need this!

140 Mlies / h - Marty over and out

If there's something strange....

Thanks to a NGE shaver Gendo Ikari lost his beard - sad day for all lumbersexuals

Dragon statue on my way back from Tokyo to Ningyocho via foot - good practice for Shikoku...

Tomorrow it's time for Ikebukuro!!!

Harajuku and Yojogi - walking through the Park and the crowd of people

After a relaxing day yesterday we had a full schedule for today.

We started with Harajuku, at least we planned to start with it. I had a flash mob planned for 12:00, but as the website didn't answer or publish it for months I realized it didn't happen - too bad.

 

At the bridge that leads to the entrance of the Yojogi Park I met some German friends of mine so we decided to hang out together, starting with the Yojogi Park and the Meiji Shrine inside. Everytime I came here, there were marriages, this time 4 or even more at the same time, or at least there were 4 or more couples doing their marriage - I guess that Sunday is a common wedding day at Yojogi.

 

I also bought some charms there, for luck, victory and vs. evil. After the shrine we walked around a bit in the park, discovering many spiders with kinda huge webbings, also a dojo, where they practiced kendo, but we couldn't a bit - MEMBERS ONLY (I'd like to know how to become a member...) - and a Kyodo class. We split up next to the Yojogi-station-exit, I went back to get to the Takeshita-Dori..., crowded as every Sunday, btw. today there were no cosplayers at the bridge and also no rockabillies, maybe because of a concert at the Yojogi stadium of Kat-Tun (Boygroup?), many girls have been wearing shirts - come here (maybe one of their songs...) - i was sad because the rockers stayed away, no chance to have a jive with them.

At Daiso I got some melon drinks and we met some other Germans - Doitsu Jin - they were reacting.
After that I finally had tempura for lunch, shortly before I saw a window, Germany is Belgium now...

When finished with Harajuku I went to Gotanda and Nakameguro for 2 Book Offs - got some books of "FRIENDS" - I will rewatch all the seasons when I'm back home.

That's all, tomorrow maybe Nikko.
