Tokyo // Day 3

This day onwards the bf no longer has to attend work! Yay~

Actually we didn’t really do much research on where to go? So this day was a day of just tagging along with the Bf’s manager’s husband cus he like knows a lot of places!

Just so you know, we actually had no idea where we were heading to at all. Lol.

First we went to the Gaiemmae subway station (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line) which is the closest to our hotel proximity and bought a 170 yen ticket.

Alighted at Shimbashi subway station and bought another ticket priced at 320 yen. If I didn’t remember wrongly, we alighted at Daiba subway station. While we were on our way on the train, we passed by the rainbow bridge! It was pretty but because it was in the morning, so we didn’t managed to see it with all the pretty lights.

After we alighted at the Daiba station, I was very hungry cus I didn’t take the breakfast from the hotel and so, I grabbed an onigiri from the convenience store conveniently! Haha.

We went to Aquacity Odaiba, I bought a top from the Lowrys Farm in that mall and that was it. Then I saw an indoor aquarium so I went to snap some photos to show the little Hannah at home in Singapore haha. While snapping photos of the fishes, I chanced upon the view outside of the mall!! It was the rainbow bridge in a clearer view than when we were on the train! So how can we miss this chance to take photo with it in the background right? Then again, while we were taking photos with the rainbow bridge I saw the view on the other side!! The Fuji TV Building!

Lunch time at a random food court (?) in the mall, I had a hard time deciding what to eat cus I don’t feel like eating everything in the food court. In the end I reluctantly decided on the Gyudon which was surprisingly good! The broth was super rich in taste. Now I feel like eating Gyudon already~

Next stop was DiverCity Tokyo Plaza.

Nothing much except for the life sized Gundam statue at the Gundam Front Tokyo outside the mall.

Last stop was the Venus Fort but in between we past by the Toyota Mega Web which is a giant Toyota showroom and we were so impressed with the museum that was exhibiting cars from the past decades. I would say it was kinda worth a visit since we were already in Odaiba.

Venus Fort has a few outlet stores like Nike, Levi’s, G-Star Raw, etc… Nothing for me though.

When it was time to leave Odaiba, we went to the Aomi station to get tickets to go to Shimbashi station then Shibuya station!

First stop in Shibuya was of course the Hachiko statue outside of the subway station! Take the Hachiko exit to get there.

Then it was the famous Shibuya crossing! The Shibuya crossing is a large intersection in front of the Hachiko Exit. The intersection is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens and gets flooded by pedestrians each time the crossing light turns green, making it a popular photo and movie filming spot.

To be honest, it was not really like super super crowded when we were there. Or should I say I expected more people actually. Cus in movies or photos I saw online, the crowd was really bad lol.

We were all starving from the lunch we had in Odaiba and so straight to the dinner!

Randomly walked into a Japanese restaurant and they have really nice food!! Yum in my tum.

After dinner, we decided to split way for shopping so we don’t need to waste time waiting for one another. Not long after, I saw this!! Croissant Taiyaki!!! I just need to get one despite my exploding tummy.

My loots from Shibuya were quite measly. In fact I had the most expectations from Shibuya 109, but didn’t manage to get anything there. To think that I was so excited to see the many brands I used to love when I still had the habit of buying the ViVi magazine every month years back. I need to lose weight then go back to Tokyo again! Haha.

Oh, another shop worth mentioning… (Food again) Pablo. Pablo is a cheese tart specialized store where you can choose two types of baking condition from rare to medium.

I forgot what we ordered but there were already quite a lot of items on the menu sold out. It was yummy but the issue was that the staff cannot understand us when we asked if we can pay for it and leave the cheese tart in the shop and collect later. I repeated and plus action so much some more. In the end, we got no choice but to take the tart with us and walk around.

The disaster was when we were back in the hotel. I opened it up wanting to snap a photo of it but realised because it was so soft inside, the top layer of the cheese tart sank. Sigh.

Tbh, initially I actually wanted to have a slice of it after snapping the photo but after I saw what it became I totally lost the appetite haha.

It was spa time again before I end the night.

It was also the last night for us in this hotel.

Oh this! Kinda unique as a souvenir. I bought it for my colleagues and also majority belongs to Serene as she was the one who asked me to help her get haha.. It's just some small figurines that you put on your cup.. for fun. Ya.
