Ok, just to be cleared I am not referring to my cup size, ok? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️HAHAHA TMI AMPS It's just that for this day we visited two 'A' places around Tokyo, namely Asakusa and Akihabara. Also, this was our last full day in Japan, so we made sure to hit all the birds with just one stone.

Ano pinaglalaban natin?🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yummy juice!

First on our list was Asakusa, which is on the upper east side of Tokyo Lakas maka-Gossip Girl ng Upper East Side. Asakusa is considered like an old town, which you can definitely see in some of the architectures and art scattered around the city. Aside from that, this where Tokyo's oldest temple is located, which is the Senso-ji Temple. Going to Asakusa coming from Shinjuku, we took the metro, where if you have an unlimited train pass you would definitely save a lot of ¥¥¥¥!👌👌👌

Once we're in Asakusa, we first explored the arcade with its various shops that sell food, apparel, and those kooky masks above 👺👹

Board meeting sa Senso-Ji Temple

To say that Senso-ji temple is stunning is a definite understatement. It's remarkable how the Japanese were able to preserve this amazing work of art for hundreds of years! 🤩


This is a corner of the temple where you can find out whether you'll have a good fortune or not, by paying a hundred yen for a slip of paper. It is said that if you receive good fortune, keep the paper! However if the odds are not in your favor, you have to tie it around this designated stand that looks like a clothesline, in this way you can somehow salvage whatever good luck you have left in your hands hahaha!



After strolling around the temple, we decided to cool off a bit, because surprisingly early October is still warm, we had an ice cream cone from another arcade nearby. There are a bunch of interesting flavors available, like matcha and red bean, but I decided to go for Almond flavor-which tastes like the Almond cake from Salazar! HAHAHAHA!

Behind the scenes of a vendo machine hahahaha!

Pagoda Wave Lotion

These are waaaay more affordable compared to in Greenhills haha!👌

Yes, I want but then again, WHY?

Tastes like Sprite, TBH

Huhuhu, in February perhaps?

best chewy cookie!

I play to win!

These chocolates make my knees weak!

This is perhaps the best chocolate ever! La Vie En Chocolat sells these flat chocolates in different flavors, from classic milk and dark chocolates to crazier ones like berries and sweet potato- which I oddly enjoyed the most, because it tastes like Ginataan hahahaa! It's a bit pricey, where you can buy these by the gram, but I definitely recommend it! By the way, this store can be found at the food hall in Shibuya station (the one near the department store, or is it the department store itself???🤔🤔🤔🤔).

Flying Tiger!

Walwalan sa Shibuya Crossing!

After strolling around Akihabara, we went back to Shibuya to do some last minute shopping- in Forever21 to be exact. From what I know Forever21 is no longer in Japan nowadays, but back then I remember seeing a lot of deals, with dresses being sold for ¥400! YES, I AM NOT EXAGGERATING HERE, ¥ 400 a piece! They also sell boots for ¥800, which unfortunate for me the sizes they have available are too small for my huge feet. Also, the designs they carried there are not similar to the ones sold here in The Philippines, so it was a great time to stock up on clothing perfect for winter trips! ❄

Great hair day, thank God!

With my cousins 🤗

And that's it pancit, our last full day in Tokyo was fun-filled full of food, and crazy knick-knacks bought from weird corners of Harajuku <3 Shall post more about tips and tricks, things to buy, and other sheesh about Tokyo soon!

Love Always,
