Day 3 - Harajuku

Hello,
Today, again I want to share with you some photos from my trip ^____^
Of course one of the "must see" destination in Tokyo for everyone whose so obsessed with Japanese fashion as I am is Harajuku, so I wanted to go there as soon as I could. Finally I could "doll up" my looks; lenses, lashes and cute clothing <3333
Please excuse this dead bear hanging around my bag all the time, but it was still not too warm, and this was my emergency cold clothing.
Before throwing myself in to this almost sinful pleasure of shopping at Takeshita street, first I went to see Meiji shrine and Yoyogi park ^___^
On the way to the shire, first we visited  beautiful inner garden. I was actually surprised how peaceful it was in opposite to very crowded road to the shrine. It was another charming place full of beautiful  flowers and trees. Also the light there was so nice and soft so I almost didn't have to do anything with photos:







 After the garden, time for Meiji shrine.


Hi hi, few inches more and I will look like walking Cousin Itt from behind.

Also, again I was amazed how nicely people in Tokyo were reacting to me. All those cute girls smiling and weaving to me, saying  "kawaii" all the time.  It was very flattering <3 Often, when I was posing for my husband, few other people were stopping and also taking my pictures.
Though to be true, I must say I'm really enchanted by how beautiful Japanese women are and compering to them I felt pretty average. So many times I was passing by some women and all I could think was how heavenly pretty they were <3333

Yoyogi park


And finally Takeshita street




At that day, I've bough some cute clothing from Wonder Rocket some nice thighs and also went to the Sweets Paradise for the all you can eat sweets buffet. Ahh, I've loved this place soo much, sooooo many delicious cakes <333 I wish there would be similar place here, where I live >___< I would be in my own fairy heaven...
 After lovely dessert, it was already pretty late and dark. By metro we went to the famous Shibuya scramble crossing to take picture with Hachiko. I knew that Saturdays nights are very crowded there but I didn't image that there will be as many people  O___O Taking picture seemed to be almost impossible so we abounded that idea and went to Shibuya 109 to buy cute dress at Liz Lisa store ^____^  Girls at LL are sooo adorable, and one of them remembered me from 2 day earlier, when I was at Alta Studio in Shinjuku <333333 I was really happy because I often admired her photos of daily outfits on LL website hi hi.
After that we went back to our hotel, left all the baggage and around 10pm for a nice stroll around Chiyoda.
Thank you for your time ^_____^

Blooming world of a Fairy Tale...

Hello,
Ahh, Spring is soo charming and beautiful <333
I wish May could last for the whole year hi hi.








Also, is anyone looking forward to the Animal Crossing New Leaf as much as I do? I really like the series and new game looks just too cute hi hi. Especially the upgraded designing feature.
I would upload some adorable dresses patterns, but I don't wont to post here anything without the credit or permission from the original designers, so I'll juts post one pattern stolen from the New Leaf's forum. 

There will be new alpacas villagers  (hi hi alpacas are conquering even video games now) and deers <333 Now I need to find something to do, to take my mind off from the waiting. Still almost one month left to the release >___<

Day 2 - Fujisan

Hello,
Today post will be full of nice landscapes from my little trip to see Fujisan.
As much I don't like organized tours, sightseeing mount Fuji would be pretty difficult to do it on our own, so we decided that we will go with the group. After some research I've chosen Gray Lines trip. It was more on the pricy side (11,000 yens for one adult) but I think it was very good decision.

We had to wake up early in the morning, because unfortunately there was no pick up option at our hotel, so we had to be around 7:30 at the Akasaka Plaza hotel which was the closest place where the tour motor coach was picking up people for the tour.
We waited for the bus, and when it was around 20 minutes after the scheduled  time, we started to be a little nervous, wondering if we had missed it or something. To be sure what's happening, I had to call the agency and ask about our bus. The problem was that they had line only for Japanese speaking people (which is weird, because they organize tours in English), and I have never ever spoken in Japanese by phone and the last time when I've used my Japanese was almost year ago at my graduation exams..... I wont even mention my phone phobia, and that the only people I can call are my husband, my sister and my mother....  On the edge of panic, I've pushed the numbers on my cellphone, and slowly started speaking to the person on the other side, asking about the pick up.  Fortunately,  despite the stressful situation, the phone call went good. They told me that the bus was stuck in the traffic and should be any moment now.  The tour bus came soon after my call, and we went for the Fuji ^______^
Our guide was Mizumi san, a very cheerful lady in her 50s, with very good English ^___^ She reminded me sooo much of one of my teachers from college <3
After about on hour of driving, yay, before our eyes was spreading wonderful mouton landscape with the famous volcano! The sky was perfect and we could see Fujisan clearly, soo lucky <3333


First stop:
Fusjisan observation deck
Pleas don't pay attention to how tired I look... For the first 4 days I've slept only for about 4 hours a day >_____<
Stop 2:
Fujisan 4th station. Yay, standing on the holy mountain hi hi <3
Stop 3:
Hakone station, time for dinner. Then, by gondola to the Owakudani valley.

Owakudani is in a crater created by the last explosion of mount Hakone. There's a small hot spring where the famous Kuro Tamago (black eggs) are boiled. It is said that if you eat one of those eggs you will live 7 years longer, so of course I could let this wonderful possibility go away and we have bought one bag of eggs. As interesting the looked from the outside, after removing the shell, the boiled egg itself looked and tasted normally. I think it was for the best because judging by the strong sulfuric smell filing whole area, at the beginning I was a little bit scared of trying my egg.




I can't even express how cold and windy there was. Sometimes when the wind was blowing so hard that I couldn't go forward.... And as I said before this little creature just can't stand cold for too long time >___< Look how happy I look hi hi.
Stop 4:
After the valley, we came back by our bus to the lake, where we have eaten dinner earlier and went for a short travel by the "pirate" ship.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to see the ancient dragon from the lake >____<

 Stop 5: 
Odawara station. We have stopped at Odawara, so some people who bought the trip with the option of coming back to Tokyo by Shinkansen could change for the train.  I could catch glimpse of the famous Odawara Castle from the bus windows <3 First thing that came to my mind when I heard that we are at Odawara was the siege of Odawara Castle and Hideyoshi Toyotomi and it made me soo excited. Also at the time when people were changing for train I was able to take a picture with amazing Hōjō Sōun <333333

We came back to our hotel around 9pm and even tough, we have spend soo much time in the motor coach traveling from place to place, I have really enjoyed. It was very pleasant trip with lot of wonderful landscapes that my fairy heart will remember for the rest of my life.

In the white sea of magnolias blossom...

Hello,
today, it'll be a little break from photos from Japan ^__^  This year Spring maiden came quite late here in New Hampshire and still the temperatures are pretty low for May ( I wont even mention this awful, chilly wind from the ocean, that freezes me to the bones every time it blows ). But despite the cold, the landscape became very beautiful. Almost everyday is sunny and lots of trees stared to blossom and have covered their branches with coats of different, fragile flowers.
So, even tough I don't enjoy too much walking in the cold wind, to fill my eyes and heart with this magnificent sights, every now and then I take a stroll with my husband and admire charming nature  in parks and some small gardens in peaceful streets of our small town.







Thank you for your time ^____^
