Strolling Through Yoyogi Park ๐ฟ
After exiting Yoyogi Park, we followed the path that Taki and Akari walked in 5 Centimeters per Second ๐ธ, and even captured a photo of the train from the movie! ๐ข๐We ended up at Hachiman Shrine, which was quiet and sereneโperfect for buying a lucky charm and drawing another "Great Fortune" (just like at Senso-ji Temple)! The shrine maiden here was incredibly beautiful, resembling Kuroki Fumino. ๐ ๐ธ๐ When we left the shrine, we encountered a cute little cat napping with its paws tucked in. ๐บ โ Meiji Shrine ๐ข๐This place was bustling with tourists, similar to Senso-ji Temple. I hung a wish on an ema (wooden plaque) here. ๐ โ Yuzu Chicken Ramen + Uji Matcha I found these online and decided to try them, but they were pretty average. ๐ธ๐The matcha parfait was amazing at first bite but got a bit too sweet after a while. The yuzu chicken ramen was bland, with a faint sourness and a refreshing broth. ๐๐ต โ Hachiko Statue I made a special trip to Shibuya to photograph Hachiko, but it was incredibly crowded. Capturing a photo of Hachiko alone was nearly impossible due to the constant stream of people lining up to take photos with him. ๐ โ Fried Steak Rice Bowl We found a small underground restaurant near Ikebukuro Station that required a wait. ๐ธ๐H got impatient and led me away initially, but after circling back, we realized we had taken a wrong turn. ๐ We returned and enjoyed the fried steak, which was unique because it was first fried and then grilled. ๐บ๐We also chose tea-steeped rice, which was delicious. The staff member even spoke excellent Chinese! ๐ #CapturingTheMoment ๐ธ #YoyogiPark ๐ฟ #YoyogiHachiman Shrine ๐ฎ
