Happy New Year, loves!
I wanted to start 2017 on a good note and show off a few photos from the biggest highlight of my 2016 - I went to motherflippin' TOKYO.
 |
| Shibuya Crossing - The busiest crossing in the world! |
Depending on how long you've known me, you may or may not know that in my very early teens I became obsessed with Japanese music and fashion, and it had been a dream for the longest time that I would go there.
So I was pretty excited when I got to go to Tokyo for a week with work to be on the
Japan Shop Channel - Yeah. Not only did I go to Japan, I just happened to be on live Japanese TV too.
 |
| This is an actual screen grab of me being cheesy on actual TV. |
My life is bloody brilliant!
I was there for a week and spent most of time around Takeshita Street/Harajuku/Shibuya, but I wanted to show you a few photos of my new favourite place in the world
 |
| This was just a cute place in Kayabacho, where I stayed. |
 |
| Adorable Tokyo Station exclusive Hello Kitty - She's a train driver! |
 |
| Sake barrels outside the Meiji Shrine in Harajuku |
 |
| Takeshita Street in Harajuku - where all the amazing Japanese Street Fashion brands are! |
 |
| Ginormous Train Driver Pikachu in the Tokyo Station Pokémon Store! |
 |
| Votives with thanks and wishes at Meiji Jingu |
 |
| I'm not even sure what these were but it made a cute photo |
 |
| A traditional wedding at Meiji Jingu - the kimonos were just too beautiful!! |
 |
| The gigantic 1:1 scale Gundam at Odaiba. Odaiba is a man-made island off Tokyo that is mostly named after Pokémon towns. Yeah. |
Ah damn, this post has made me miss it so much - I can't wait to go back again next month!
Have you ever been? Tell me your favourite places!
