    Tokyo day 3

    July 17, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Today we went to the Ghibli museum!!!!! It was so amazing i cannot explain. We got to see a short film that was a continuation of Totoro! It was the cutest thing i have EVER seen. I bought a stuffed guy that was a character in it. As well as a couple gifts for u guys. Then we went to Harajuku for lunch and some free time to shop! Most people had Takoyaki (fried octopus dough balls) but me and two other picky/ vegetarian girls went to this delicious vegan restaurant. We got super refreshing fruit and veggie smoothies, fries, and vegan curry. Then we went to another shrine. It was called the Meiji shrine. There was no festival going on but it was still really cool. We learned all about Shintoism and Buddhism ( the two religions in Japan) all of the shrines are Shinto and the temples are buddhist. There are no statues that you worship at the shrines because Shintoism is all about spirits. Then for dinner we went to a tempura restaurant that was very yummy! The rice was delicious too!Read more
