Latté from Streamer Coffee. Better than some of my favorite Seattle spots

Days 4 +5

Fig parfait at Sembikiya for breakfast. Can't resist something like a fig parfait if it's on the menu. It's as good as it looks..

On the roof of Ghibli Museum

So tranquil here, especially after taking the train with hectic commuters

Picture
Harajuku Street. We're staying right around the corner.
Picture
Only photo from one of my favorite travel meals ever. I tried everything and each dish exceeded expectations. Even chicken liver on a stick was incredible but too rich to finish. We tasted raw octopus/tuna/other fish, octopus balls, buckwheat jelly with mustard, some type of Japanese potatoes, grilled chicken, traditional pork ramen, and other dishes I can't remember
Picture
Okonomiyaki - first time eating this
Picture
Looks gross but really tasty. Tofu with almond milk/cream stuff

Days 6 + 7 + 8 + 9

Picture
Spent the day at Ueno Park. Went to 3 museums here (Tokyo National, Ueno Royal, Museum of Western Art), and then the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography
Picture
Picture
Picture
Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Saw "all about life and death" photography exhibition by Akihiko Okamura. Very powerful & educational
Picture
Random...good Brazilian curry
Picture
Tokyo National Museum. Too much to take in for one day. Can't wait to go back

Picture
Behind Tokyo National Museum
Picture
Harajuku Hachimitsu pudding at Colombin. A pudding experience...
Picture
"...Colombin wows with its limited-edition Harajuku Hachimitsu pudding, made with honey collected from bees raised on a Harajuku rooftop. The flavours are kept simple, with the emphasis firmly on the eggs"
Picture
Fresh, warm melon bread + pineapple + vanilla ice cream. Too good
Picture
Picture
From the roof of the apartment. Harajuku on the left. Yoyogi Park on the right. Harajuku was a great launching point for our day trips
Picture
On the roof. I'll definitely stay here again. Another great AirBNB experience
Picture
Last full meal of the trip. This "boat" of fish was just the beginning
Picture
Bibimbap in Korea just to say we did
Picture
Somehow we started and ended the (Japan) trip with bibimbap... (Will's photo)
