Day 7 Tokyo Trip

It's my turn to fall sick today, having running nose and fever. Kennie keep nagging at me, saying that I must have caught a cold as I didn't want to wear a scarf, gloves and hat yesterday. She has been asking me to wear them as it's really very cold but I was too stubborn to do it.


Veona sleeping so comfortably under the quilt


Our Bf - Instant noodle/ramen. Everything in Japan tasted so nice, even their instant noodle tasted exceptionally nice.


The ferry service from Kawaguchiko station to K's house and vice versa


The view of our hotel.


Final picture of Mt Fuji. It's still covered by cloud.


Had Hoto Noodles for lunch again. Think this is also 1 of the famous Hoto Noodles restaurant in Kawaguchiko which is located directly opposite Kawaguchiko station. Oh btw, so paiseh, my legs stinked today and we had to took off our shoes while we were in the restaurant. Kennie and the kids were complaining that it stinks. Haha... not sure if the waitress smell it or not.

The noodles here tasted very nice too. Comparable to yesterday's but think they have limited varieties. For Hoto noodles, they only have 1 variety, noodles topped with mushroom, yam ball, vegetables and pumpkin.





Back to Tokyo after a 2 hour bus ride from Kawaguchiko.

Honey Bar selling nice fruit juice. You can find one at most JR line

Checked in at Toyoko Inn, luckily none of our luggages is missing. Initial plan was to go Harajuku to do some last minute shopping but plan was cancelled as I was not feeling well. Kennie must be feeling very sad as she has planned to go there to hoot as much as she can. So to compensate her, brought her to Tobu shopping centre to buy bags instead. Some of the branded stuff like Agnes B, Longchamp and Burberry Blue Label are actually cheaper then Sg.

Our dinner at a Standing Sushi Bar near our Hotel. Quite cheap and nice. Around $10+ for a set of 1o pieces sushi.




Went searching for the giant sized Takoball which is located diagonally beside Tokyu Hands Ikebukuro.The size of the Takoball is bigger then my fist. They have many different types of filling that we can choose from but after trying it, we still felt that the normal Takoball tasted much better. Dont' really like it as the skin of the takoball is a bit like chewing gum, very chewy and hard.



A visit to the famous Tokyu Hands dept store. They have actually quite a no. of store in Tokyo. Tokyu Hands focuses on hobby, home improvement and lifestyle products, spread across seven storey with a different concept on every storey. Would like to spend more time there if I'm not sick. So many Kawai stuff to see and buy. It's a blessing atually or it will burn a big hole in my pockets.



On the top floor (8F), there's Nekobukuro, a Cat’s House. It’s set up for apartment-bound city dwellers to have the chance to play with the 20 or so resident cats. Entrance fee is abt $10 and you get to play with the cats
Went back rest early as I was feeling terrible. Slept early after eating double dosage of children's panadol. sad sad.. this is how we spend our last night in Tokyo.
