There is usually some event happening in Akihbara (AKA, Akiba) on Sundays. Not to mention pedestrian hours in the afternoon which makes it easier to walk around in the popular tourist spot with the roads sealed off from traffic. That's why I decided to reserve Sundays for walks i...
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...
Working out how much change I can dump into the top up machine. Always fun when you have too much even though most places accept card now or even just Google Pay. Don't know if the latter charges a fee too though. Shame the top-up machines only take so much change and no 1 or 10...
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 f...
Don't know if it's a trend but so many families out in the hotel dining area this morning and it's a Saturday. Usually it's very quiet at this hour. Ended up locking myself out because I forgot my key card so had to go to reception and it was peak checkout time too... Originally...
Decided to sit somewhere different today instead of facing Ueno Park, now same view as my room. Almost forgot my key card this morning ^^; Plan was to tour Weathering with You spots around Tabata and Shinjuku but very heavy rain. Weather Girl must be off today but might still man...
Been capturing morning time lapses and this morning's sunrise turned out good... Until a fly appeared at one point somehow outside the window. Otherwise clear skies, a fairly warm day. Bought this Suntory Tennensui brand of water marketed with Suzume and Shinkai's other movies. T...
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 tha...
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 th...
Thought I'd sleep like a log since couldn't sleep on the plane but only actually managed an hour. Upside was I forgot to set the camera's time so the time lapse wouldn't have happened if I didn't get up to correct it. Cloudy so no sun visible but not bad. Had breakfast around hal...
