Japan Trip day 03 (Tokyo Disneysea, Kawaguchi)

Hello again guys!

continuing the diary's trip

now we are moving to day 03

As usual, my schedule was 6,7,8 (wake up at six, bfast at 7, out of hotel at eight)

On this third day i was excited because we were going to Disneysea

As maybe some of u already knew, Tokyo Disneysea is the only Disneysea in the world (not to be mistaken with the disneyland)

Its within one group with the Disneyland but as the name said "Disneysea", so yes, it is built near the sea area in Tokyo

So if u're planning to go there in winter or spring,  just prepare to bring warmer clothes, bcs the wind is going to be colder in this area

is that my mickey over there? LOL

One of a must buy snacks, so refreshing and tasty :P

My tour guide has said that we have to prepare of the super long queue on the ride

so me and my friend has decided to go to the best rides first (as we had google it before for some reviews on the ride)

So we went to TOWER OF TERROR

in front of the TOWER OF TERROR

Unfortunately after this point, I was not allowed to use my camera anymore

Maybe the purpose is so that people have to go there to see it directly rather than from the video or photo

Actually this ride is similar to "Hysteria" if u want to compare it with Dufan in Indonesia

but, the plus point is, every rides in Disneysea got their own story

When u go to Dufan, what u get is just queueing and playing

But here while you are waiting in the line, you will be played a video about the story of each rides

But since we were in Tokyo, i didn't get what the video tell me anyway

Even they had a lot of foreign visitor, i don't know why they don't put subtitles :(

my Rate for this ride: 10 out of 10!

Musical Parade

the mochi was really good and cute at the same time

Smoked turkey legs: 700 yen each

Due to the low battery, i wasn't able to take more photos :(

gonna be a lesson for my next trip to bring extras batteries 

and anyway as my friend and one of my classmate had already told me before

'You better take time to enjoy the scenery rather than queueing for rides'

Its SO TRUE, 

i was there from 9am to 3 pm, and i only managed to take 1 ride successfully LOL

However, the scenery was worth it to enjoy anyway :D

There were a lot places to take photo at

Finally the clock pointed at 3pm

time to go back to the reality hahaha

we then continued our schedule to go to Kawaguchi

the trip took around 2-3 hours to go there

and the hotel name was Breeze bay lake resort Kawaguchiko

As it has been scheduled,

at this hotel we were going to take a group photo while wearing Yukata

and then having dinner at Hotel

There was an public Onsen in this hotel too

wefie time!

do we look alike?

Japan Trip day 02 (Ueno, Asakusa, Ginza & Shibuya)

Its been a hectic week for me in the uni

After almost finishing all those assignments, 

here i am continuing my Japan trip's diary day 02

It was friday morning back then, April 1st 2016

In this weather, i don't need to turn on my air conditioner at all

Was woke up at 6, prepared myself and luggage till 7am, then our group had breakfast in the hotel

And exactly at 8 am we checked out from hotel!

Our first stop for today is Ueno Park, its a famous park in Tokyo filled with a lot of sakura trees

Just imagine, how its gonna be, a park full of blooming sakura omoooo!!!

On the way to ueno park

so in loveee

Fyi, this season in Japan is considered as high season as sakura trees only blooms around 2-3 weeks once a year, thats why when you plan to travel on end of march-middle of april, please do expect crowder place and some traffics.

first photo taken

a way full of sakura trees around

Took a pict with my bebe

      

Originally want to have sakura blossom one, but they said the it finished already :(

Sakura flavoured soft serve!

After spending 1 hour in Ueno Park, our group continue the trip

And now we are going to Asakusa Temple

Its one of the famous places in Tokyo

There are a lot of shops selling souvenirs and foods along the way to the temple

1 hour IS NOT ENOUGH!

But since I join the group tour, so i have to corporate with the time schedule

I recommend if you are the one who likes shopping and try japanese street foods,

you guys should go to this place and at least spend 2-3 hours

  

Inside this temple you guys can also try your luck by getting "prophecy" randomly

i didn't go there, but just heard it from my friend who went there

Im preferred to just walking around and buy a lot of super cute souvenirs XD

bought a coin purse here, so useful since you will get a lot of change in coins

can be bought as an unique souvenirs

Finally it comes to Lunch time

it just took around five minutes from asakusa temple to our lunch place

there are a lot of these rickshaws along the way

sorry i don't know how to rotate this in here, lol

"candid"

Made by the chef, super kawaii

After filled our tummy with a lot of foods

again we continue our trip to our third stop for today

can you guess where are we heading to???

YAS!

tokyo tower

 

But due to exhaustion, i didn't take a lot of photo there

Just fyi, inside there are some shops as well selling souvenirs

and of course the famous snack which is Tokyo Banana is sold here

However they didn't sale the choice flavoured one

as the info i got from my local guide

the choco flavoured is only sold at Tokyo Skytree

Moving to our last but not least STOP

is

GINZA

Ginza is known as super expensive area here in tokyo

the local guide said 1sqm of land in Ginza is sold for approx. 30 Millions yen (just times 117 for rupiah)

but again due to tiredness of me and my friend, we didn't have time to take photos in here

Photos below is just some photos taken at the corner near Ginza, not really in the main road one

The sunset is already set, time for us to go back to the Hotel

Tonight we're staying at Metropolitan Edmont

After dinner, me and my friend Yuliana

decided to go to Shibuya by ourself (finally!!!)

since today is our last day in Tokyo

by the guide from ci Eni (our local guide, she is half Indonesian, half Japanese)

we successfully take the train from Iidabashi to Shibuya

It costed us 170 yen per person per trip

that famous crossing road

unfortunately it was raining :( it makes the weather become SUPER COLD

Us with the famous Hachiko Statue

if any of you wondering what Hachiko Statue is

i will explain a bit

Its one of the "a must go" places if you are going to Tokyo

It based on true story of a very loyal dog which waiting for his man every evening in from of the train station

Until one day the man got heart attack at the office

so he is being rushed to the hospital then and unfortunately the man was died

However hachiko is still waiting and waiting

even the man's daughter try to bring Hachiko back home

the next day Hachiko will be found again waiting in front of the station

You guys should watch the movie, i was crying at the cinema when watching this heartbreaking story :(

So we finally come to the end of the day 02

Hope you guys enjoy it!

dont hesitate to put comment below if there is any question regarding the trip :)
