SHIKIMIKIE

Selfieee Ebisu. I’ve been to Ebisu before of course. It’s two stations away from my work in Tokyo and I always feel like I don’t have time so I always go to nearby places. Very convenient though because I work in Tokyo. Lucky if you may. the Christmas Tree that I missed in 2016 Ebisu  magical What I missed last year was the Christmas Tree. It’s still fine but it made me realize that ones absence may feel okay but it’s better when it’s complete. Saveh!! Also!!! They had this choir thing going on when I went and man, I stood there in the freezing cold and watched aaaaallllllll the performances. It was worth it though for sure!!! Okay one of the reasons I completed the choir was because they really lifted my spirit. But also because if I won’t, I wouldn’t be able to go near the chandelier. Charot! The Chandelier, has one light bulb added to it from the last time I went so that’s nice. I mean, not that I noticed. Haha chandelier Yas. I may have said this before but you know, I’m really...

As usual, I didn't expect much from Shibuya because of what I witnessed last year. I don't know if I shared with you the photo but it was this sad green lights put on the tree same as above so yeah. This year showed a little improvement so let's give Shibuya that. This year's team is HELLO KITTY. Okay first of all, I have absolutely no idea why the tourist information bus' character is Kitty because you know, Sanrio isn't anywhere near and stuff. ALSO! Why can't they just use Hachiko's face? It's SHIBUYA after all. Okay.  But you know, who am I to tell Shibuya what to do, aye? Anyways this Hello Kitty thing. I can't. You all know how I love Shibuya and its wonders but Shibuya is not ready for it yet.  Maybe because Shibuya doesn't have a lot of places to do this kind of displays but yeah. I'm not saying that this is not good. It's good! I just hope there's more of this. I think. The ribbon is cute! I think big ribbon ornaments lik...

Roppongi. I went with my co-worker Shella to Roppongi brcause you know, it’s one of the places I don’t dare go alone. Kind of.  We were kind of lost at first but the thing about illumunation in Japan is that you can get lost and still find something beautiful to appreciate.This green and red tree for example. The transition.  Then this already transitioned tree which is equally as beautiful! But you know, it’s probably just me.  We actually targeted two illumination spots in Roppongi and this is the first one. They had this show of something I can’t fully understand but it was beautiful.  It’s like the one in Shiodome but less magical. I’m so sorry Roppongi. It’s probably just me.  It was still beautiful though.  Roppongi Candle and Amber is the theme of Keyakizaka-Dori. I didn’t understand Candle because it’s just blue but they had Candle and Amber tree which makes a little sense.  Christmas Tree My Blogger Friend Tokyo Tower as usual was so beautiful...

Shortly after my Akihabara trip, I went to Shinjuku hoping it would be colorful again. It was colorful 3 years ago. It was pink again like it was last year. I’m not complaining. Much.  It was still very nice. I mean, if it’s the season, it’s always nice to appreciate all the little things like this. I mean, looking at it, it’s actually slightly different. Also, the Marine Tower is lit this season!  Also, I swear I’ve seen it lit in green and gold/orange.  It was pretty in pink! At this very point, I was very sleepy but I was so happy!  Also, not so far away from the Southern Terrace, are small places with lights on as well.  Also, they added hearts!  2 hearts.  I don’t know if it was present last year but they also had this thing going on outside the new Shinjuku Station. It was pretty in blue.   Also, this drink. It was okay. You know, I don’t really like raspberry in general but this candied raspberry thing is good.  They also have thi...

I think I have mentioned before that I don’t really have a business to do in Akihabara which have not changed yet as of this writing but ya know you gotta go where you gotta go! I actually went to buy a laptop and I knew they have a mini illumination thingy going on and so yeah! It was cute.  They have this illumination thing going on very near the station. It was actually the first kick of this year’s illumination post so I was really very excited.  selfie Akihabara has its charm. I probably just haven’t discovered it yet. I mean, most people I ask usually say it’s their fave spot in Tokyo. How wrong they can be, right? Surprisingly, this is my favorite thing in the whole set-up. It’s very simple but I like it.  mini trees This Christmas Tree shaped structure seems to be the highlight of the illumination. It did not disappoint.  It’s not extravagant whatnot but it’s something. It’s actually just outside of a big bu...
