[Tokyo] - Harajuku

Sights from my walk around Harajuku. There’s just so much that heightens my senses. I love the bicycles, the flowers, the houses, the kawaii touches...

[Tokyo] - Daikanyama T-Site

So in my last post, you had an idea of where I went in Daikanyama. What you didn’t know was, I spent the bulk of my time in T-site. T-site houses several cafes/restaurants, the coolest pet-grooming shop I’ve ever seen, a Leica shop and Tsutaya.

The Tsutaya in T-site is AMAZING. I spent like 5 hours there (get how fantastic it is now?). You are free to browse books and magazines, sit down on a comfy chair, listen/loan CDs and LPs (!).

There’s a beautiful chill out cafe within Tsutaya which we chose to rest out tired legs.

[Tokyo] - Daikanyama

Hello! I was in Tokyo abit the last week and despite the heat, I still had fun! I’m happy to share with you on it so we’ll be having a Tokyo series here on the blog :). I brought my camera along but took a lot photos with my iPhone. I hope you enjoy them nevertheless. And yes, it’s mostly a lot of cafe hopping and cute street sights. So first up, I’m taking you to Daikanyama with me!
The day I went to Daikanyama, it was REALLY warm. Thank goodness there were more than enough cafes for me to pop into for a respite.
Coffee van near the station. I heard this is almost like an institution over there.

Eau Cafe with cozy european interior.

Haco Cafe. Near the station but hidden from all the hustle and bustle outside. Popped inside randomly for lunch and was happy with it! Now I know what to do with the lid after I pop my champagne.
