My Two Week Trip to Japan – Day 3

Day 3 was pure exploration. My sister and I always think we never accomplish anything when we go on these trips. We then look at the pictures and find out how much we’ve conquered. I think we do ok.

We stayed in the city and just walked all over without a care in the world. Enjoy the day of randomness going through different parts of the city.

What I did on day 2:

Visited the Skyscraper District and visited a shrine
Visited Nakano
Visited Harajuku
Ate KFC
Visited the red light district
Saw Godzilla sightings and visited Don Quijote
Visited Ginza

We enter a sacred area. There are instructions on top.

We continue the early morning exploration. It’s incredibly humid with rain. I love it.

What is this wonderful place we have just stumbled upon?

I’ll have 10 McChicken sandwiches, thanks.

My sister eating McDonald’s while looking at their menu for more.

I snapped pictures of my sister since she does not like pictures.

It’s still raining off and on. Umbrellas are a necessary here.

We look at the map to see where we are and where we are going (we have no idea)

The Japanese know how to dress. They are stylish with the right physiques to pull off any outfit.

We head towards a heavily populated area in the city.

She does not want pictures but I’ll keep snapping away. AHAHA.

Two very different areas yet they are very close.

I think this is Shinjuku or we are around there.

We find a mall and see our first Hello Kitty Store.

I go in with my sister. Everything is pink. Except me.

We go inside another mall in the same area

We went into Don Quijote. This store has it all.

There’s a bunch of random things. check it out if you go to Japan.

We leave the store and keep exploring. There were dozens of buildings like this. Video game building. We were not allowed to film. You go in these buildings and there is every demographic in here. From children to business men. This is awesome.

We go back to the Godzilla street. There is so much happening here.

We go in and get ice cream. This was the day I became lactose intolerant.

This was the ice cream that destroyed my stomach om that fateful day.

This place is bumping. Entering Nakano. You get off the subway and you’re there.

Not only do I eat egg sandwiches everyday. I also eat KFC everyday. Delicious. I ate this delicious food in Nakano. It was the start to a beautiful relationship.

This area is known for hard to get items.

We then leave Nakano and head towards the subway.

We leave Nakano through the subway and do underground shopping. There are a bunch of stores. I had to tell my sister hold back since she was on a towel purchasing binge. Money was being thrown at everything we saw.

This was another full day of walking and exploring.

That’s it for day 2. We went to many little districts in Japan. We did not even dent this city. We walked into so many stores and ate so many goods I can’t complain. It was another excellent day. The feet pain began but that didn’t matter. That’s what vacations are for. They are for exploring as much as possible and walking through the pain, AHA.
