~*Shrines and Temples*~


Zojoji Shrine near Tokyo Tower

Demo ritual cleansing....

They were about to have some kind of canival...

Make a wish by writing on a wooden plate and hang it up

All the different brands of mineral water in Japan

The canival at night

The obasans are cute! All of them have a 风车 behind them.

We also went to the famous Asakusa Kannon (meaning 观音) Temple.

Shopping street before the temple

Again, go through ritual cleansing...

wave the smoke towards ourselves to purify ourselves according to the temple people

5 storey pagoda. Too bad it was raining quite heavily that day, so we didn't go around the temple, just visited the main hall.

The clock at Asakusa Tourist Information. Cute leh...

~*Disneyland*~


On the way to Disneyland


Mr. Walt, Mickey and the Cinderella Castle....cum a domestic plane flying across


Closeup of the castle. Chio right... But not so nice at night...in fact, looks a bit spooky after sunset


It was a weekday but it was also Japan summer vacation. Lotz of ppl!!


One of the rides, featuring Winnie the Pooh. Very very 梦幻 ride, too bad can't take pic during the ride. The queue is also very 梦幻, queue till i almost fainted. Good thing is their staff bring a mini fan around to cool everyone down....so thoughtful~

~*Fireworks @ Asakusa*~

Happened that 28 July was the annual fireworks along Sumida River...how can I miss this right?? Good thing is we can enjoy the fireworks from the rooftop of our hostel.

So many people squeezing on one little bridge while I'm sitting comfortably on the rooftop with snacks and drinks

Sour plum chips...taste weird.

Something like our Jolly Shandy, 5% alcohol only with plum and kiwi flavour.

Our neighbour is a restaurant and the customers are having their meal outside while waiting for the fireworks. Most of the Jap are in their traditional clothing called Yukato.

It was a 90 min fireworks dislay on both our left and right sky...shiok ah!

Too many pictures....so split into different entries. To be continued...
