Let's go to Japan- Day 3

Trip to Japan; Day 3
Taking a tad (well a lot) longer for the relase of this one due to my busy schedule :(

Sites Visited

Site: Shibuya


Comment: Love this place! This place will definitely blow you away- especially with the Shibuya crossing . There are literally hundreds of people that crosses the crossing at a time, and it makes you feel like you are in a middle of a Shogun war. Shibuya also has a lot of unique stores and, if you wanted to go shopping, I would definitely recommend this place over other places like Ginza or Shinjuku. Their price is much cheaper and the brands are much more unique. Shibuya is also home to the Hachiko statue. For those who haven't watch the movie, please do yourself a favor and watch it. It's basically a movie, based on a true story, about a loyal dog who waited for his master at the same train station long after he already died. Shows loyalty ! (unlike my ex-es)


Shibuya Crossing- Look at how many people!!

A very famous place in Japan to do your clothes shopping
Hachiko Dog's statue! A tourist land-mark (waited 10 mins to get this shot)
Hachiko's museum thing... it's free to enter
Fan service to O.P fans- At parko, the biggest (not cheapest) O.P seller
Rate: 7.5/10 

Site: Meiji-Jingu (Harajuku)


Comment:Again, when you are looking for temples to go to, Tokyo is not one of the first place you would thought of. Kyoto are filled with a lot of glorious temples! In term of Tokyo standard however, this temple is definitely very beautiful! Though it can't be comparable to the likes of Kiyomizudera,this temple is still a definite must visit if you have spare time in Tokyo. It's definitely better than Asakusa temple (In my opinion) and it's definitely a change of pace- a place to go for more a traditional taste of Tokyo.

Punk dress thingo people in Shibuya. Comes out at night!
Awesome Tako Place!!!
Wash your hands and drink from it to purify yourself!
As you can see, it's quite the tourist attraction
Instagram... BAM

Site: Oedo Onsen Monogatari


 Comment: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE TO DEATH! If you don't go to an onsen in Japan, you haven't really been to Japan. This Onsen place, however, is very unique. Once you are inside, you have to change to a kimono and put all your stuff in the locker. Once you exit the locker, you will be absolutely mind blown. The place is set up kinda like the Edo period. You can purchase food and play games and what not and, instead of using your wallet to pay (cus you cant bring them inside), they will scan the barcode that's located in your bracelet (this bracelet must be worn at all time when inside). They offer a lot different types of Onsen, outdoor/ indoor, hot/cold bath, sauna, massage (extra fee) and foot bath (which was epic). I think if I show you the pictures, it would be much more appropriate! I really want to show you guys the footbath as well, but since I'm in the picture for all of it- I AM not going to upload it :p cus I;m fuggly (though if you guys ask nicely... ._.')
This is the entrance, the ticket is about 1300 Yen
Edo-period setting
As you can see, everyone wears kimono 
Bought this shaved ice after a hot bath. That thing on top is the bracelet
