Our last full day in Tokyo we decided to spend sightseeing. We headed to Ginza, and the gorgeous garden Hama Rikyu. It’s so fascinating with these city parks, because outside there are millions of people rushing around, tall buildings, thousands of cars, and just the general big city vibe. Then you enter the park, and feel such serenity, and all you can hear is the sound of grass hoppers.
We spotted such a pretty butterfly just hanging out in one of the trees, and I of course wanted to get a good picture of it. It sat pretty high up, so I ended up having to sit on my boyfriend’s shoulders while snapping pics. I bet that looked totally normal, haha.
The park is so pretty!
And my fascination with cotton candy-looking clouds continues..
Hama Rikuy garden is located right by the ocean, so we decided to take a little boat ride. I’m so fascinated by the Japanese letters, did you know that there are over ten thousand of these? Insane!!
We drove around in the boat for about an hour in the insane heat, and I don’t know if I recommend it. Everything looked pretty much the same, just tall grey buildings on each side.
We jumped off the boat and decided to visit SkyTree. What’s so fun about Tokyo is that wherever you go, there’s funny things to see. Did you know that they actually have vending machines where you can purchase women’s used underwear? Haha!! On our way to SkyTree we spotted this funny sculpture, these sorts of crazy things are everywhere in Tokyo!
SkyTree in all its glory. It’s actually the second highest building in the world!!
The view was amazing. I just had my zoom lens with me, but it seriously looked like the view from an air plane.
My boo♥
We were lucky enough to catch the sunset from up there! So gorgeous!
Inside it almost looked like a spaceship, super fancy..
After a long trip back we got home late last night, and as I managed not to sleep on the plane, I fell asleep like a baby once I went to bed at home, and actually managed to get up pretty early this morning. Hopefully I won’t feel the jetlag, I just hate jetlags! It’ll probably take me some time to get over the Japanese way of acting though, I’ve become so used to it. Like bowing and saying ‘arigatou’ every time I say thank you. We’re off to grocery shop soon, and I just know that I’ll bow to the cashier! Haha. I hope you’re all enjoying the weekend sweets♥
