These couple of days were great, Cat cafes and delicious food !
Coming home after a long drinking night in Tokyo is always interesting. First train comes around about 5am-ish and in that train you can see a lot of weird things.
I arrived to Asakusa at 5.40am and the streets were so quiet and peaceful, very good time to take photos.
I went straight to sleep but I did saw people getting ready for the Sanja matsuri.
In Ginza there is a famous waffle shop that I never tried before and now I understand why there is a long queue everyday. They were deeeelicious and Cheap !
I’m absolutely mental about Ice cream ( you should know that already), in a hot day in Tokyo I normally eat 3-5 ice creams and most of them are macha (green tea) ice cream.
One of my weird traditions is to go to Shakey’s pizzeria and after I’m full I go to the cat cafe !
Shakeys pizza is a good place to go if you want ok tasting pizza, very tasty onion rings and 300yen drinks.
ps. that place is very cheap.
Here are some very cute photos of the cats at my favorite cat cafe at shinjuku called Calico.
In the last post post I wrote about the best Japanese fried chicken place (唐揚げ)
that is located in Asakusa. The chicken is very cheap so one evening I ate a lot of it 😀
M.O.S Burger is best fast food restaurant in the world. Just look how tasty it looks ! When you visit Japan you have to go to eat there even once !
I went to the famous One Piece event in Roppongi Hills which was great but the entrance fee was 2000 yen and you could not take photos inside there and it was in the same floor as the Tokyo city view but you could not enter to that side without paying 1500 yen more so I gave up and went only to see the One Piece event. It was worth the money but I would have been happier if I could have taken photos inside.
Long line of people getting the tickets to the event that was held in the 52nd floor if I’m not mistaken.
I did get a lot of One piece merchandise from there tho 😀
If you are going to the Solamachi mall in Tokyo Sky Tree you have to check out the kyoto green tea ice cream shop ! Look what I got and you understand why.
Also when you visit the tokyo Sky Tree you absolutely have to buy a Tokyo Banana Tree from there, they sell these almost everywhere in there so would not be too difficult to find.
As a nice end to this post, here is a homeless man with an expensive Finnish design bag called Marimekko. 😀
I hope you liked this post ! check out my facebook page “photographer ari helminen” where I will add details about my trips, life and photography.
So many great food pics! I love Mos Burger and miss it a ton. That matcha place is now on my list for next year. If you want some awesome tempura, there is a place in Asakusa called Daikokuya which you have got to try. They have two shops within one block of each other so if one is closed, check the other one.
