Naive 17 year old Nagomi Wahira is excited to start her new job at Oinky Doink Cafe, Akihabara. Before long, she discovers there was a darker side to the maid cafe business where rivals violently disputing their turf. As the piggy themed cafe struggle pay off the "sweets money" they own to the Creatureland Group, Nagomi finds herself...
Been wondering why the partitions on apartment balconies can be removed and I think I know why; access to fire emergency stairs along the side. If you ever wondered how dirty cash can be check out the white tissue I wrapped my coins because I had too much and wanted to separate some. Not pretty... Morning was laundry time for mesince...
Another clear day. Weather's been mostly great this trip just like last time. Only a day of rain so far. I decided to go out and grab the rare Figma Pokemon Red figure for my friend in the morning because one I spotted in Lashinban, Culture Zone was already gone despite the £200 price tag. Might be the last chance to grab the second one I...
Sunday, another busy morning for catering. Makes me wonder if Japanese people like staycations during weekends. Clear sunny day so you can see Mount Fuji from the hotel if your room was facing that way. Was planning to spend the day browsing around Akihabara. Still on the quest for a cheaper Figma Pokemon Red that doesn't cost £200, 5x...
Not such an early start today since I'm just walking around Tokyo to tour some more Shinkai movie spots; mix of Weathering with You/Tenki no Ko and Your Name. People sure finish their breakfast quickly, a lot of business people in suits. View feels pointless when you're doing that. You might as well just be surrounded by paintings imo....
Off to the Your Name, Tateishi Park today. Early morning so I could have more time to explore the place. Got up at half 5 to head to the station. The Azusa Limited Express is only available from Shinjuku so wanted to get there before rush hour. Despite being the first train of the day, there was actually quite a lot of people. There are quite...
Maru has been tasked to find a place known as "Heaven" and is escorted by his "big sis" Kiruko Takehaya in a world where the Great Disaster occurred a number of years ago. Kiruko herself was trying to trace old acquaintances too. As they discover new clues and meet other survivors, they barely find any edible food in abandoned...
I was inspired to do this post after realising how many locations I recognised from shows and games I've played after visiting Japan. You will probably too once you've been since so many fictional works are based on real life locations and the great thing is you won't have to go out of your way to find these places unlike say Makoto...
So today was the day we fly back to UK but, we still had a morning free before heading off to the airport - well, whole afternoon really but didn't want to join the rush hour trains carrying luggage... These were the manned stations you have to go through instead of the regular gates if you want to use your JR Pass. Thing is, not all exits have...
Ah yes, Ghibii Museum! This place is so busy you'll have to book 3 months in advance if you want a chance of getting in. Especially during the holiday seasons. It was either a JR train to Mitaka Station or a Keio train to Kichijoji. We chose Keio even though we had a JR Pass because it was faster by a 5 minutes or so. I read the route from Mitaka...
