Konban wa!

Yesterday we went to Bonsai Village near Omiya station... I didn't realize that Tomi really meant a village as it was an area where a group of men decided to start growing bonsai in their backyards. It was quite overwhelming to see all those bonsai lined up... unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures of them.

Today we've been to Ghibli Museum near Mitaka (near Tokyo). It was amazing! Well I'm a fan so anything related to Studio Ghibli is wonderful... From there went to Shibuya to see Hachiko (statue of a loyal dog) and Miika's training gym. But it really wasn't there, it was near Yoyogi station so went back a few stations just to find it closed. In Tokyo the shops are usually daily open but they close the shop for at least one day in a month... this just happened to be that day...

However, from there we continued back to Shibuya and I finally got to do some shopping!!! But now I must close as we're preparing to go to Roppongi for some night life. (edit: we ended up in a karaoke and found one of the Hard Rock Cafes in Japan)
