Travel Diary 2.0 (JAPAN)

I was just planning my summer trip to Japan's capital, Tokyo. Japan has been one of the destinations I really look forward to going every holiday. Even though it sound like I've been there several times but I've actually been there twice. These are some of the shopping destinations in Tokyo. 

My first time ever was going to Tokyo in the summer; the second time was to Osaka during last years October. 

First of all, my trip this time is a shopping based plan. This weekend trip to Japan requires nothing much just a map of Japan's subway (JR), a sense of direction and MONEY. 

Destionation 1.0: 

Starting at one of the well-known cities in Tokyo, Shibuya.

Shibuya, one of Tokyo's most well known places amongsts tourists, which is known for shopping and experiencing an urban lifestyle of people in modern Tokyo. Shibuya's local shrine, the "Meiji Jingu Shrine". Is well known for its wonderfull sceneries and is built to give to the emperor. Shibuya is known for its "Time square" look. Shibuya's well known for the 109 mall. Where you will find totally everything. Another famous landmark at Shibuya is "Hachiko's statue", a story about a faithful dog.

Destionation 2.0: 

Harajuku, known as one of the most interesting spots in Tokyo. Where cosplay and dressing up is such a normal thing. Roaming through the streets of Harajuku, you'll find all these Japanese dressed up in cosplay. Feel free to ask them for a picture; they're nice. There are streets such as Takeshita street where you can shop really authentic Japanese clothes. Including Cat street and Ometosando street.

Destionation 3.0: 

The third destination is Tokyo Sky tree a skyscraper in the heart of Tokyo, where there are many little shops in the Tokyo skytree mall. There are shops including acessories and food where you can only find in Japan. The Tokyo Sky tree is the tallest building on earth! From the Sky tree, you can see the view of the whole Tokyo city, both from night time and afternoon. The area has many buildings which allow you to go shopping for the whole day.

3. Stationary

Japan's stationary are the cutest of all there are all over but the place. The shops with the cutest stationaries in my opinion would be Loft and Tokyu Hands.
