This dog walker is absolutely living his best life. He was walking 15 dogs, his necklace says dog, and his shirt is an illustration of him walking dogs. I’m envious.

Day 8 - Japan Blog - 14 February 2024 Yoyogi Park and Shinkansen to Nagoya (Valentines Day!)

Leaving Tokyo today and heading West to Kyoto but stopping in at Nagoya first (just for something a bit different!!).

We have a bit of time this morning to do some last minute advenure in Tokyo before we leave (and IM NEVER DONE WITH THIS CITY, there are so many things I didnt do!!) *tears!*

I wanted to take Ben to Yoyogi Park near Harajuku. But first, lets store the luggage at the station. Which was a pain, because most large sized lockers were already taken!! After managing to find somewhere to stash our suitcases, we headed to Beck for a coffee... (because I want to find my favourite coffee shop!!) and I didn’t rate it. The BLT was pretty good though! Coffee was sub-par. Ah well.

We were on a train that was actually themed with Pokemon and it was really cute!! We walked from Harajuku Station to the Meiji Shrine and back again. Lots of cute doggies, the weather was lovely and it's always nice to walk through a massive garden in the middle of a bustling city.

Then we made our way to the Shinkansen to travel to Nagoya. We didn’t have time to find EkiBen (train lunch boxes) even though it was on my bucket list — but we had some snacks and even found a Baskin Robbins vending machine which was really yum and not sweet, but tasted more like yoghurt.

I even got to see Mt Fuji on the train as we sped past. So majestic! When we got to Nagoya, we found our accommodation and it was a bit basic -- small, but thats expected. There was a craft beer pop up of one of my favourite animes; Evangelion. So I had to get them!! I wanted to go to the Pokemon Centre in Nagoya (just so I can tick another Pokemon centre off my list hehe) and we found ourself in another "underground food market" things.

I let Ben choose dinner and while we had a niku bbq place in mind… this Tonkatsu restaurant won the choice and I had a “setto” which came with the pork, a prawn and some pork coated asparagus.

After dinner it was cocktail time and then home to enjoy the fancy Valentine’s Day cakes we bought at the station. 🙃😍🍰

It’s Valentines Day so we went to three different bars (one was TGI Fridays so it doesn’t count but I wanted a cheap drink haha!); one called Scum, which was a metal bar and the other, I’m not sure of the name but it was the complete opposite (in the same building!!). Super fancy, and quiet with like, Jazz? I dunno. Ben was in some kind of mood -- I was not. LOL! The toilets were extravagant and had every type of convienence needed. Toothpicks, floss, ear picks, breath mints, tampons, you name it -- it was there. I had a Nikka Malt highball to finish the night off and thebartender gave us a jar of the olives he had for the martinis! So random!!

Meiji Shrine

This is post is meant to be read after reading Sailor Stars: Rebirth, Act 9: Only Together We Face the Fight.

Pictures below were taken at Meiji Shrine in Shibuya on December 4, 2022. Japan still had strict COVID policies in December 2022 so there will lot of pictures with masks. I was ecstatic the country was open to foreigners.

Entrance gate to the shrine the senshi would have passed under.

It is a long path to the main shrine building.

Map of the Meiji Shrine Gardens. Uses the kanji for Gyoen meaning it is related to the Imperial Grounds.

Steps have concrete along with a bamboo outline and dirt. They are also not your typical step size. Usagi would definitely trip.

Kakuun Tei. A tea house.

Path leading to the South Pound.

South Pond. Fall colors can be see in Japan in December. I was not expecting this! Absolutely beautiful.

Lily pad with flowers blooming. There were lots of carps in the pond.

One more view of the pond.

In the spring, this field would be pull of Irises.

Barren Iris field.

I love the colors!

Path to the well was very long.

Another view of the steps.
