Ajisai viewing in Kamakura

Early wake up indeed. I woke up 6:30am since we were heading to Kamakura which is an hour train drive away from Tokyo. We were going to visit few Ajisaideras (=Hydrangea Temples)! We left 8:30am and arrived Kamakura around 10am. First we visited Meigetsuin Temple. The tempel area was pretty and the hydrangeas so beautiful! It would have been even more if all the hydrangeas were bloomin.

From Maigetsuin we took a train to Hase-dera Temple.

Sadly in Hase-dera there was even less blooming Hydrangeas.. The Tempel and the view from the higher, thought, were really pretty!
 

Whenever I see bamboos I wanna bite them.................

TheTh was a little restaurant so we stopped by to eat something light. Dango zenzai, yummy!

We only visited these two tempels and few shops.

Had to taste these Japanese sweets, kintsubas. I bought sweet potato flavor.

It didn't take us more than 3 hours to see the places and since we had nothing else to do in Kamakura we headed back to Tokyo and Shibuya.

Shibuya city view from Shibuya 109 men's Magnet top floor.

:D

Some last shoppings. Bought Yonezu Kenshi's one CD from tower records and I couldn't be happier! I want all his cds ;A;

Super good ice cream from Don Quijote and only 100yen!

Probably the last sushi in Japan.. Gonna miss it bcoz it's just so good here!

From Shibuya we walked to Harajuku, visited closet child and headed to Nakano for the last time.

Random alleys in Harajuku..

We came back to our apartment around 8pm and started to pack.. I'm so glad I could fit everything in my suitcase!

Some snacks I bought from Don Quijote, those takoyaki cheeseballs are pretty good! But the pockies are not..

So tomorrow is our last day here in Japan, don't wanna leave ;A; it should start to rain at noon so until then we're shopping in  Shinjuku and then spend the rest of the day in karaoke! Yes or yes?!
