Itadakimasu

My last time in Tokyo was about 7 years ago. Back then my priorities were quite different. I valued motorcycle jackets bargained from corner streets over an uni-filled omakase experience and more than satisfying bowls of gyudon/ramen/udon.

This time I relived Tokyo 2010 with one of the best. We packed the trip with a variety of new and old experiences. We would end the night late from wandering around the many streets in Shibuya and force ourselves up the next morning to attempt snowboarding at Kamui Misaka.

In between activities, I subconsciously made Omotesando my to-go hangout while spending slightly excessively on overpriced candles for the sake of a steady supply back home. And Disneyland was nothing short of overwhelming/magical.

Some might say that we were too ambitious, but it was perfect. We parted with all smiles and some good tears.
