Harajuku Street. We're staying right around the corner.
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
Okonomiyaki - first time eating this
|
Looks gross but really tasty. Tofu with almond milk/cream stuff
|
Days 6 + 7 + 8 + 9
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
Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Saw "all about life and death" photography exhibition by Akihiko Okamura. Very powerful & educational
Random...good Brazilian curry
|
Tokyo National Museum. Too much to take in for one day. Can't wait to go back
Behind Tokyo National Museum
Harajuku Hachimitsu pudding at Colombin. A pudding experience...
"...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"
Fresh, warm melon bread + pineapple + vanilla ice cream. Too good
|
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
On the roof. I'll definitely stay here again. Another great AirBNB experience
Last full meal of the trip. This "boat" of fish was just the beginning
|
Bibimbap in Korea just to say we did
Somehow we started and ended the (Japan) trip with bibimbap... (Will's photo)
