Final Tokyo Trip Part 3: Metropolitan Government Building

After a super kawaii dinner at the Pom Pom Purin Cafe and shopping around Harajuku a bit, we headed to Shinjuku to visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.


There is a free observatory on the 45th floor. It's at 202 meters. It's not nearly as tall as Skytree, which has observatories at 350 meters and 450 meters, but it's free and still a neat view. If I had to pick just one I would go to Skytree even though it's expensive. But I think it's nice to see Tokyo from above both during the day and at night, so I suggest to go to one during the day and the other at night.

After waiting in line for a little bit (ten or fifteen minutes maybe) and getting our bags searched, we took the elevator up to the 45th floor.

Final Tokyo Trip Part 2: Pom Pom Purin Cafe

 After enjoying sakura at Shinjuku Gyoen, we went back to Harajuku to go to the Pom Pom Purin cafe at our assigned time (we received a ticket a few hours earlier).

Everything about the cafe was so cute! Pom Pom Purin is one of my favorite Sanrio characters so I loved it!

Final Tokyo Trip Part 1: Sakura in Shinjuku Gyoen

On March 21st we started out the day in Harajuku. I had sort of planned on us eating lunch at the Pom Pom Purin Cafe, but they were giving out tickets to return at a later time (like I had suspected). We got tickets to return around 4:45. So then we headed to McDonald's for lunch.


On the way we passed by several stores. Those sheer skirts are super popular right now and I saw them in so many stores!

Moving Out: Sayonara Hamamatsu

The day after my birthday I started really packing up my stuff and throwing things away. Though I did take a break to go on one last bike ride with Jonathan.


We just went to the beach which isn't very pretty, but it was still nice to just ride around.
