It's our last 2nd day in Japan =(
Decided to cover Asakusa & end my day with Alcatraz in Shibuya..
one of the must visit in Tokyo...
Nakamise Shopping Street & Sensoji Temple
tons of souvenirs
found this 人形燒 shop recmd by sasa on taiwan travel program..
one of the first few shop which started selling this...
there's a long q... we shall get this after the temple ...
Sensoji Temple
lucky lucky
the japanese way of drawing your fortune
it's a good lot!
foreigner? no prob... theres english transalation!
back to buy it ~
they also sell little box of this to let you bring back ... but i felt .. its not so nice once it cold .. ~
walking toward the asahi beer tower and tokyo sky tree ~
pretty flowers along the way~
saw some interesting stuff too.... seriously i need to emphasize.. japan never fail to amaze me
pass by this place ... that look like a kindergarden..
creative structure~
dont you think it symbolise road to the sky/heaven?
meaningful & creative!
while the main building look like a boat ..~
and finally we rch the tokyo sky tree!
much much muchhhh taller than the tokyo tower ...
we went there during the 1st mth of the opening and so u need to pre-book your tix like few mths ago.. so quite a sad thing that we cant get the tix ... anyway fyi the tix cost abt S$50 together if you can gg to get to the highest level.... and i hrd that if you are gg to the restaurant on top... u need to reserve mths ago... ~
the queue to go up ~
dont despair if you never get to go up the tokyo sky tree... theres so much more in there!
like aquarium.. shopping etc ...
spotted this moomin cafe with super long q ..
so u r someone who is always hanging ard kinokuniya stationery sector.. u shld b unfamiliar with this cartoon character..
food all shape like moomin~!
okay here the next real purpose of visiting the tokyo sky tree...
the tokyo banana shop... !
only this shop carry the exclusive chocolate leopard tokyo banana!
kawaii max!
little fortune teller machine in the shop!
average luck!
oh... for those who are planning to visit here... you might wanna come on the last few days... coz tokyo banana can only keep for 2weeks...
other exclusive tokyo banana you might wanna look out for is the strawberry banana.. which is exclusive to Ginza... but i found it in shinjuku ... =X mayb its not really really not exclusive..
but for sure ... the leopard one is only at tokyo sky tree!
had some time in between and we decide to visit this sushi chain shop.. wanting to try some cheap and interesting one ... which is diff from SG...
Kura Sushi @ Shinagawa
8mins walk from the station
ya and the japanese way never fail to amaze us...
you will face the computer when you go in ..
this first screen will ask you to select the no. of pax,
next, belt table or own table.
and out came your q no.
we managed to get our own table..
like sakae sushi in sg, you can take directly from the conveyor belt or order via the touch screen..
all this for 100 yen =~ S$1.50
hamburg sushi
ramen egg sushi
salmon
corn
so whats so special abt this restaurant ?
finish your food?
slot 5 empty plates below..
you get a jackpot chance!
or some games..
if you win, you get a capsule toy!
kawaii izzit it ? and clever way to increase sales...
that mk it eat up to 50+ plates of sushi !!!! oh and as you can see below... excluding those odd plates like chawamushi and tempura etc..
its still cheap compared to sg after all, after division its ard S$15/pax ~ we have a total of 6 pax
finished our late lunch and we head to shibuya to shoppp~!
the famous crossing of shibuya
109 with lotsa pretty pretty girls!
during the first day when i reached tokyo, i asked the hotel staff to call up the resturant to make a reservation for me at the
Alcatraz E. R.
東京都渋谷区道玄坂2-13-5ハーベストビルディング２F
for those who never heard of this place before ... it's actually one of the pioneer themed restaurant in Japan.
A Medical Prison theme...
when i am trying to checked this place out... theres very little website or blog that says abt this place.. so probably they have too little pic... so i will try to explain more here...
its located among the love hotels area in shibuya..
at harvest building 2nd floor...
once the lift open...
we swallowed our saliva ~
fyi its not so bright okay?
it's bright becoz of my flash...
told the rest to visit the toilet before we enter...
coz i heard if you go near the 'show' start... mayb the monster or whatever will come and catch u
the toilets
they hvnt off the lady's toilet light ... lucky!
coz i saw the guys toilet when they open the door... i can only see glow in the dark paint handprint ..
ya now u can imagine how dark is this plc ..
so when everyone is ready to enter...
press your bloodtype~
and here come a nurse .... checking our reservation..
they know very very basic english... like just a few words..
she explained the places in japanese (which of coz we dont understd..)
then she ask... who is stupid? (or mayb she meant who the patient today)
handcuffed the patient and test this stupidity at another xray room~!
and proven he is really stupid .. ~ LOL..
continue to lead the patient and us to our table aka the prison cell...
patient's name and details outside our cell ~
and here we filled up more details and submit to the nurse (feedback form)
the menu (they only have 2 english menus in the restaurant)
once you are ready, use the metal rod and bang on your cell to attract the nurse attention..
here the actual darkness of the cell ... ~
here some pills (peanuts) to calm us down first..
here comes my scary drink~
!!!!! it's cocktail ...
the nurse coming to serve the ah siao with medicine...
actually it's apple and strawberry yoghurt drink
butter corn
you can do some chemistry with your drinks too .. (cocktails)
fried chicken
pizza
omelette
yaki soba
breast fried rice?
they usually have show every 2hrs... so when we are having our meal...they sudden play some horror sounds....
then off the lights... total darkness ... you cant even see your fingers! you can see only the exit light at the end of the corridor...
there this masked (think the movie scream) walked down the corridor to scare everyone in the cell ...
after that the special prog of the night ... there someone birthday.. so the monster and nurse draggg the birthday boy out for special treatment...
i can say the japanese are more kai fang than us ... (see first pic)
receipt & change for the night
all packed nicely with free mints...
total damage : est. S$20+ per pax
overall, a great experience !!!
always felt the japanese are very 進業 in everything they do ...
every small parts make the theme experience so good & as real!
but i think it's not really suitable its you are going with the elderly ... if you are gg with them, would recommend you to go ninja theme restaurant at asakusa instead ~ but its more ex ~
