A Day in Tokyo
While there are many versions of Tokyo travel itinerary, I crafted mine to be around the highlight of shopping and unearthing the city’s pretty secrets; like discovering the oldest crepe shop in Harajuku and hunting down Hachikō, the famous dog statue at Shibuya Station that comes with SIX exits. Among it all, strolling along the beautiful tree-lined streets of Omotesandō really left me yearning for Tokyo even more than before. In this travel diary you will find the must-visit spots in bold. Enjoy!
{Harajuku at 9 in the morning when everything is still closed. Shops only start opening at 11 a.m. so it is advisable to have breakfast elsewhere first}
{That pink porcupine like in Super Mario Bros.}
{I can’t decide if this was a porn house, hair saloon, or music school}
{Parked myself in front of Angels Heart Harajuku Crepes Café when there was no queue}
{That famous strawberry cheesecake crepe}
{Honestly? Delicious, but overrated – like this pizza in Napoli}
{A girl’s dream F21 with glass walls just like in NYC}
{Mannequin strangle}
{Cruising Omotesandō by foot}
{My kinda dream house}
{OOTD details here}
{No girl should skip Shibuya 109. It is a 10-floor shopping complex offering the coolest, most famous, must-have Japanese fashion brands to own up-to-date}
{Compulsory crossroad shot}
Japan should be given the award for having the Most Obedient Pedestrians in the World. Just watching how busy traffic lights take impatient turns blinking at every corner, and busy people glued to their cellphones while crossing one of the biggest crossroads without any worry at all is an amazing experience by itself.

{Searching for Hachiko}
One of the ‘must-do things’ when in Tokyo is take a picture with Hachiko, a dog statue built to commemorate the true story of a loyal, faithful dog that waited for his dead owner everyday at a train station until it dies, too.
{Hugging Hachiko}
{The train station that was}
To find it, head to Shibuya Station‘s west exit, named The Hachiko Exit. Don’t miss it!
