On our fourth day in Japan, we went back to Tokyo, which was 2.5 hours by train from Nagoya. 


Since we woke up early to maximize a day in Tokyo, we didn't have time to eat at the apartment (again). Good thing there were a lot of restaurants inside the train stations. I just love how everything's automated here.


First stop was Shibuya.


This is where famous Hachiko's statue is located. And look at this cat getting all warm and cozy on it!


We went to a store called Tokyu Hands to look for pasalubong and look what we found -- cat collars! Super kawaii!

Next on our agenda was Takeshita Dori, which was literally just across Harajuku station.

It's a busy alley that caters to teenagers with its trendy shops, street food and crepe stands, fashion boutiques and whole lot more.

There were a lot of things to do and places to check out, but so little time :(


Getting exhausted from all the train rides lol
Since check-out was at 11 a.m. on our last day, we moved to Kuya Ernest's friend Rachel's, apartment in Gifu, Gifu-Ken. This countryside is definitely a breather from all the places we've visited for the past 5 days.

A 5-minute walk from Rachel's apartment was Don Quijote, a famous Japanese superstore, where we did some crazy last-minute shopping. AND OH BOY I COULD LIVE HERE FOREVER.

I wanted to buy some more but we only had 20kg baggage allowance each :'(

Umhan, who also shares the same passion for film as us, got in touch with us through Instagram and met up with us at Nagoya station before heading to the airport. Thank you social media for new found friends!


I left this beautiful country in awe. Seriously, it has been nothing but an amazing trip! Right now, we're just waiting for promo fares and working extra hard to go back next year for the cherry blossom season and hopefully stay there for two weeks *fingers and toes crossed* because a week ain't enough!

THANK YOU JAPAN I LOVE YOU
