Day 7 of our trip to Japan was a Sunday and it felt like the whole Tokyo residents decided to come out and play.
We were back to Tokyo and the plan for the day was a stop at Yoyogi Park, a glimpse of Meiji Jingu and walking past Harajuku and Omotesando. It was super hot in Tokyo and with the heat, it was hard walk outdoors and deal with the crowd.
There was a Vietnam Fair nearby Yoyogi Park and hordes of people visiting the fair. Is the Vietnam fair a yearly affair? Last year, there was also a Vietnam Fair at the time we visited the park. Judging by the turnout, the Vietnam fair was a success. I wonder whether there is similar event held by us Malaysians to promote our country, culture and not to mention food at this big scale.
People chilling out at Yoyogi Park. It sure was nice to have a picnic there, or just lying down on the grass and have a nap. Some were seen practising their singing (choir group, maybe?). Some were practising playing musical instruments.It was a nice relaxed atmosphere at the park but we didn't linger there.
As usual, Harajuku Station was packed with people. Scary.
Walking down Omotesando past all the boutiques.
Despite our intentionto cover the area, we just can't stand the heat. The last straw was going into Kiddyland. The original store location was currently being renovated/upgraded and they've moved to a smaller store a few meters away. It was small but with the huge crowd, going in the store was a claustrophobic experience.
We couldn't stand both the heat and the crowd anymore, and decided to head to Ueno and visited a toy store; Yamashiroya there.
Look what we got for Raimie:
So the day wasn't such a waste, after all. At least not for Raimie. :-)
