South Tokyo

Aoyama Flower Market

As a flower lover, I am keen on searching the internet for places to see beautiful flowers. Luckily, in the city of Tokyo, precisely in Omotensando, there is a beautiful flower shop that also has a tea house whose main menu is a tea that contains a mixture of flowers and spices. Besides being able to drink in a beautiful place with full of flower decorations, we can also buy it. The tea here tastes really good and makes you feel relaxed. For those who like a romantic atmosphere, this place is just right, because of its sweet and relaxed ambience. A fun and warm place to share stories with your loved one. ^^

Odaiba

In southern Tokyo, there is an artificial island called Odaiba. Odaiba is a famous entertainment, shopping and amusement center in Japan. Along the train to here, the view of Tokyo was very beautiful. As the train was new and sophisticated, and from the rail way above the city, we could see the beautiful views of Tokyo and Tokyo bay. ^^ For me, this Yurikamome train line to Odaiba, is the prettiest train journey in Tokyo.

In Odaiba, there were several famous mascots like the Rainbow Bridge, the Liberty Statue, and what many people like the most, the Gundam Unicorn!! The Gundam Unicorn here is very tall and large, its size is almost 20 meters. Standing in front of the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza shopping center, every half hour from 7.30-9.30 at night, there is a Gundam performance in the form of Gundam illumination and a large screen behind that displays the Gundam anime with super cool music !! :3

Roponggi Hills

Located in the southern part of Tokyo, Ropponggi Hills is an elite office complex and shopping center. Because of its location opposite the Tokyo Tower, it makes Ropponggi Hills in my opinion, the best place to take a portrait of Tokyo from elevation. Besides, Mt. Fuji was clearly visible from here.

Asahi TV

Across Ropponggi Hills, there is Asahi TV station that produced several famous anime, such as Doraemon and Crayon Shinchan. I and my friend could go inside for photos in front of our favorite anime characters. Inside the building, there was also a beautiful cafe for visitors to take a break and drink coffee or tea.

Tokyo Midtown

Still in the Ropponggi area, my friend and I headed for Tokyo Midtown, a shopping district that has beautiful park around. Here, my friend took me to the Toraya Pastry Shop, a very popular pastry shop in Japan, selling sweet cakes of various shapes. My favorite form is certainly Sakura. ^^ A walk in Tokyo Midtown Park in the afternoon was very pleasant, I could get rid of my tiredness from the hustle and bustle of the city, hehehe.
