Huge fish tank and jellyfish hall collaborate with beautiful 3D projection mapping movie and music. These are outstanding, BUT it’s too crowded on weekends.
We escaped away from the crowd to have some cute snacks. We had “jiggly blue jelly” and “fish nuggets”. Both of these were fun to eat.

Afternoon tea at Chinzanso Tokyo
My friend and I had a wonderful time at Chinzanso Tokyo on weekend afternoon.
We had their Garden Afternoon Tea.
We had some kinds of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and 3 kinds of their original jams and a wide variety of sweets on an afternoon tea stand.
We were able to enjoy to have the beautiful sweets and their selection of tea at very cozy special room.
Houkokuji Temple bamboo forest garden
We went to Kamakura as a short daytime trip.
This time, our purpose is to visit bamboo forest garden in Houkokuji Temple.
Maybe you know, the place is very famous for the beauty, also was recommended by Michelin guide.
The garden was a little too crowded, we need to wait to enjoy matcha tea time in the middle of bamboo garden. But as you can imagine from my photos, it was worth for waiting. 🙂

Soba Yusui
I walked around Jindai-temple. Around the temple is famous for soba restaurants.
There’s over 20 small soba speciality restaurants, tourists are looking forward to come there to enjoy soba, at the same time to visit temple.
Yusui (湧水) is one of them, the name of restaurant means like spring water, so that reminds us soba plate made from clear tasty water.
Their soba plate was good, and someday I would like to try other restaurants around there too!
