Japan 2010 - Tokyo (Finale)

The next day (Friday) we started the day by exploring Ameyoko Street at Ueno Park....strolling down the street with the shops owners preparing to open their wares for the day.....lots of asian foods stuff on display and I actually saw blouses exactly like the ones in Central Market, KL......but a lot more expensive as it was in JPY....:P

We had kebab for branch (breakfast + lunch) before continuing our stroll along the small market street.....it was nice as there was not a lot of people around (as it was still early) and we had all the time to see and browse the shops.......

From Ameyoko Street, we went to Ueno Park just to see the sakura....it was said that Ueno Park is one of the must see place for sakura.....

Reached Ueno Park and had a nice stroll among the sakura blooming trees....^^

The weather was perfect....a breeze was blowing the sakura petals.....it was NICE!

Saw this banana-choco vendor on the way back to the station.......here was where we once again decided to split up.....2 of my hime sama went to Nippori for clothing hunting while another hime sama, my sis and me went once again trying our luck for Sanrio.......saw this "Suki ni Natchatte" advertisement board.....^^

Reached Tama Center and went straight for Sanrio.....got excited once again ^^......

This little kid was going to Sanrio as well...and was skipping through out the whole walk....must be as excited as we are!

Yatta.....ITS OPEN!!!!!

The first one to greet us was this cute kitty.....^^ when we entered the main gate of puro village...suddenly everything turns mystical.....WAH......we were in a different world altogether....the ones you only found in fantasy books and movies......

We were in time for the kitty parade....and there was a short singing and dancing show by all the characters.....all the little kiddies were dancing and singing with them....it was nice ^^

Cathy and the new addition to the kitty family......

One of the thing that we would not missed was to check out the toilet...hehehehe....wanted to see whether it was as cute as the rest of the place....and what do you know!?

It was awesome...........!!! It was way too cute for it to be a toilet!!!

After exploring the toilet...it was time to explore the souvenir shops...there were 4 floors altogether and each floor got one souvenir shop......everything was pinkish....cuddly...cute ^^.... I was basically goggling everything......aaaa.....to many cute things to buy....to little money.......not enough space in my bags.... aaaa....such a difficult decision to make....hahahaha

April was my birth month....so I just had to snapped this!!!


Then it was time to snap pictures with the main characters...hehehe ^^........we had a ball.....!!!!!

Daniel looking kakkoii!!

And here was my sis dancing with Kitty......

Before going back to Asakusa for souvenir hunting....I had this choco....and guess what...you got to keep the mug!!!

I had a great time at Sanrio....just wish I had more time though.......the next day was spent mostly on shopping at Kitchen Town, Omotesando and Asakusa.....I did not take much pictures on the last day.....so busy with finding things that I have yet to buy...........but at the end of the last day...........I GOT EVERYTHING.....hahahaha.....Ureshii....^^..........got a nice wallet, got a beautiful happi, lots and lots of cute things..............it was a nice trip aside from a few glitches at the beginning of the journey......^^

Japan 2010 - Tokyo

When we reached Tokyo from Kawaguchiko, it was raining.....after check-in at our hostel, me and my hime sama decided to go separately to our intended locations....me and my sis to Myoden (to visit a friend) while my 3 hime sama to Ginza.....most of the entire day was spent at Myoden....

Then next day was a stroll from our hostel to Kaminarimon, through Nakamise Street....and finally to Sumida Park.....the weather was perfect and it was a nice stroll....:)

Still early....not many people around and the shops just being opened....while we were there, there was a kindergarden graduation ceremony...all these cute kids with their kindergarden uniform and a rose each.....kawaii...

The main shrine is currently undergoing a major renovation and it was closed for public.....zannen desu ga but the sakura was in full bloom all the way from Nakamise Street to the shrine.....

The lagendary "giant slippers"......^^

The sakura along Sumida river was also in full bloom.....^^

Big Sho-Kun's poster!

After Sumida Park, we once again decided to split up.....2 of my hime sama went for shopping spree while another hime sama together with me and my sis went for Sanrio Puroland....a HELLO KITTY WORLD! It takes about more than an hour to get to Tama Center....and the 3 of us were so excited....not that I am a Hello Kitty fan but suddenly you felt like a kid again ^^

A hello kitty welcoming signboard! Tama Center is a cute little university town (there was an Art University or somesort) and surprisingly got lots of shopping places..its totally like a magical town hehehehe...here's some of the pictures we snapped.

We reached Sanrio Puroland entrance and alas....it was closed! It seems that Sanrio is closed every thursday in the month of April...........aaaaaa................aaaaaa................I was frustrated.... not that I'm a big fan of kitty...:P

We decided to come back the next day and as to make our journey worthwhile....we went shopping at a big Daiso shop in Tama Center.....^^

From Tama Center, we went back to Shinjuku to catch a train to Maihama for Tokyo Disneyland...and on the way....saw a poster of O-Chan and decided to take a snap....^^

Yes...yes.....thank you....thank you...I know you guys adore me....hahahahaha.....^^

Reached Maihama nearly to 6 pm....meet up with my 2 hime sama and as we were buying the "After 6" passport....we didn't have to wait long to enter.......

The souvenir shop......

The walkway from the souvenir shop to the entrance gate of Disneyland.....

Some of the decorations....buildings....and finally the CASTLE.....

The night view of the castle is totally awesome...with the blue light surrounding...it really makes the castle looks magical......
Some of the unique buildings..... We had a ride on the "small world" boat... ..the 3 youngsters rode on the merry go round....and they were very excited about it....no ones tried the teacups....the monster among monster!... hahahaha....it makes your head spin (need to refer to my entry on Genting for the historical background of the teacup)..........we watched the Light Parade....it was fun....but unfortunately I can't get a good picture with my camera.....so I have to store the virtual pictures in my memory hard disk....hahahahaha ^^.....it was freezing cold but altogether a good day.....:) and the O-chan factor really makes a different for my frustration of the closed Sanrio ^^
