mikoshiThough I did go to Vietnam and you've been seeing so much of it recently on my blog, I was still spending most of September in Tokyo. Actually there's quite a lot I have done after coming back from my holidays.

One of the most exciting events was meeting up with lovely Stephanie who is temporarily living in Tokyo. On one beautiful Sunday afternoon, we did a good strolling around in the neighbourhoods around Daikanyama. Curry and Yebisu(beer) at Bombay Bazar, looking at some nice little shops including the fabulous fabric shop I had been longing to go to (who didn't want us taking photos of, hence no shop info here. well i took these photos before we were asked to stop.), stopping for some Japanese sweets in Nakameguro, then we walked all the way up to Ebisu passing a live mikoshi parade from a nearby shrine festival. A beautiful fuschia sky greeted us when we reached at the Ebisu Garden Place and that was a perfect finish to our long (and lovely) afternoon walks. My photo didn't come out so well but do check out Stephanie's from this post!

 

I'm from tokyo but I'm not really good at all the hustle and bustle of the city. I'd say no thank you to the crowds in Shibuya or Shinjuku, or the famous (and crazy) packed trains during "rush hours" luckily because I work at home.
Nakameguro -2 stops from Shibuya and Jiyugaoka -7mins from Nakameguro, the area I live in are good quieter places for walks and shopping.

Nakameguro is one of my favourite spots for Sakura, cherry trees are lined along the river for hundres of meters and is pretty at night time with all the lanterns... but it looks like sakura has it's time for this year and will all be gone in a few days with this sudden warm weather.
