Hello,

I´m gonna finish with the travel in japan. Last part was 4 days in Tokyo, included 1 night in Yokohama, a suburb to Tokyo.

We were invited for dinner by Yuko´s mother who lives in Shibuya. Very good food was served on the table, she bought camembert (very thoughtful) and pastries from Daloyau (very famous and good french catering). Yuko was here with her 2 sons Ko (4 and Ren 7 years old) and her sister Namiko. We had a very nice evening, warm and nice people, we felt like home.

Then we walked back to our very nice Cerulean hotel in Shibuya.

We walked in Shibuya area, very crowded, mall everywhere, we went to 109 mens (no time and energy to go to 109 woman), 6 floors of fashion...teenage and young men mostly, shoes, accessories, clothes.

Same day, we were invited to restaurant by Yuko´s mum with youko and her sons, Sumire and Namiko (her sisters). After this fabulous dinner, we all went to take pictures in  Giant Photomat, very funny and so typical japanese. To end this wonderful evening, we had dessert (ice cream and waffles) in an other restaurant.

PS : I will write on my next post all the adresses (stores, museum, hotel, ryokan or restaurant)

We had the best trip (Honey Moon) ever thanks to Yuko K and her family, we are so grateful they took time to show us Japan and for the hotels... amazing people
Thank you also to Yuko K and her husband which show us good restaurant and we enjoyed very much  the time with you.
Thank to Yoko and Johan, lovely couple, we had a very good time with you guys and it was nice of you to take us to such good restaurant and show us around.

Fashion in Tokyo take sense, Japanese people have a real sense of style and dare to make their own outfit. I love it!

Restaurant in Yokohama of fresh sea food. By fresh, I mean, the fish or sea food is in aquarium and they pick up the one you are going to eat!

Cupnoodles Museum 



History of how the cupnoodles soup was invented by Momofuku Ando. Interesting and you can even make you own noodlecup at the noodle factory in the museum (price included in the entrance)

Japanese protect their skin to the sun, they often wear gloves and tights as well as umbrellas.
