Hello Lana. I just booked tickets to Tokyo for February! Do you have any recommendations for eating and shopping (clothes, stationery, jewelry, open to secondhand as well)? I trust your taste; thank you very much in advance.
Hello! How exciting!
Restaurants and bars: Ichi (Shinjuku), Sujū Indigo (Shibuya), Showaken (Asakusa), Gyoza and Tapas (Asakusa), Mikagekura (Marunouchi), Monja Moheji (Tsukishima), Everyone’s Cafe (Ueno Park), The SG Club (Shibuya), the cafe at the National Art Center Tokyo (Roppongi), Canal Cafe (Iidabashi), Kinema Club (Shimokitazawa)
Shops: for secondhand clothing and jewellery, I recommend visiting Shimokitazawa (it’s a more bohemian neighbourhood in Setagaya, Tokyo). Locals are really into shopping in the Kichijoji neighbourhood (it’s got far less tourists). Naka-Megura and Ebisu have got some lovely boutiques as well. For more popular brandname  shops, try a Lumine mall (they’re all over the city). For stationary—Kyukyodo, Itoya, Muji and Loft (all in Ginza) are my go-to’s
If you’ve got the time, I also highly recommend making a day trip to Enoshima as well as one to Hakone!
I wish you safe travels!

Japan 2020 - Day 2
◀ Previous | Next ▶
Our Hakone adventures continue.
Tuesday 25th February 2020
Hakone
Our second day in Japan we had a traditional breakfast which included lots of new and strange looking foods. Helpfully they have a laminated card at the table telling you what everything is, I had fun trying to remove all the bones from a fish and drinking an egg with something mixed in with it.
Tumblr media
We are headed off on the circular trail around Hakone that includes buses, trains, cable cars and boats that look like pirate ships, but first we are headed up Mt. Kintoki. Back into town we went to store our luggage at the station, purchased our Hakone Free Pass, then took a bus up the hill and found the Mt. Kintoki Hiking Trail.
Tumblr media
We found a shrine, as it was my first one I wanted to make a donation for a fortune, although I couldn’t read it, google translate showed some good luck in there so I took that to mean it was a good one, Oli got one too which was only minimal luck, if they had been bad luck we supposed to tie them up there.
The trail was made up of many many steps we met quite a few people walking down the mountain, everyone was very friendly a quick “konichiwa” and a bow much like a friendly “mornin’” to your fellow brit it was very welcoming, that is until we heard loud noises sort of like thunder or perhaps something was awakening from below the ground…
Tumblr media
Although it was a cloudy day we got a good view of Mt Fuji at the top, we had brought some snacks with us from the 7-11 at the bottom of the trail but we couldn’t resist getting some hot food from the shack at the top, the menu consisted of various noodle based dishes, we ordered our curry noodles from the lovely old lady who seemed to run the place, we ate while friendly locals made small talk “curry noodles” and “chopsticks” perhaps they were impressed by our skills with the utensils, we did our best to respond in Japanese “Hashi” I replied while gesturing with my chopsticks, they asked where we were from so we could break out one of the few phrases we could remember “Watashi wa Igirisu-jin desu” I’m from England.
After they had left the lovely lady who had brought us our food made small talk with us, we expressed our enjoyment of the food “oishi” delicious, and we got given sweets and crackers to take with us on our trek, she informed us it was her birthday so Oli began singing Happy Birthday and I joined in before realising we didn’t know her name, this was swiftly covered up with another line of “Happy Birthday” she seemed to enjoy it anyway and we got some more freebies by way of a postcard.
We thanked her for everything and set back off down the hill by a slightly different route and caught a bus to the next part of our trip, one of the trains was out of action due to a landslide but we got to the end station to get the replacement bus but we discovered that we’d spent too long eating noodles and we would not be able to get back as the last cable car was going or had gone already, as they’re still on their winter schedule it stops earlier than in the summer, reluctantly we get back on the bus toward the station to grab our luggage and head back to Tokyo, The Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park will have to be added to the list for the next visit.
Tokyo
Our first few days in Tokyo we were staying with Hiroshi and Aiko, Hiroshi and Oli are old friends.
We made it back to their place around 8pm where we had dinner. For Hiroshi’s wedding reception he had picked up a Nintendo 64, I was more than happy to help test it out with a bit of Mario Kart and Bomberman.

White Threads of Water
The Shira-Ito Falls (shira=white + ito=thread) on the Shiba River are a unique waterfall in the scenic, lush surrounds of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park on the western slope of Mt. Fuji.
These falls are the result of two major volcanic eruptions. The ground at the bottom of the falls was formed by eruptions of “Old Fuji” around 100,000 years ago. The ground at the top of the falls was formed by eruptions of “New Fuji” that have occurred during the past 5,000 years.

Mount Fuji, Japanese Fuji-san, also spelled Fujisan, also called Fujiyama or Fuji no Yama, highest mountain in Japan. It rises to 12,388 feet (3,776 metres) near the Pacific Ocean coast in Yamanashi and Shizuoka ken (prefectures) of central Honshu, about 60 miles (100 km) west of the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area. It is a volcano that has been dormant since its last eruption, in 1707, but is still generally classified as active by geologists. The mountain is the major feature of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park (1936), and it is at the centre of a🏛️UNESCO🏛️World Heritage site designated in 2013.
Cultural significance
The origin of the mountain’s name is uncertain. It first appears as Fuji no Yama in Hitachi no kuni fudoki (713 CE), an early government record. Among the several theories about the source of the name is that it is derived from an Ainu term meaning “fire,” coupled with san, the Japanese word for “mountain.” The Chinese ideograms (kanji) now used to write Fuji connote more of a sense of good fortune or well-being. In the present day the Japanese typically refer to the mountain as Fujisan, whereas foreign visitors tend to refer to the mountain somewhat incorrectly as Mount Fujiyama, which translates to “Mount Fuji mountain” in the Japanese language.
