• Shibuya exploring

    September 18, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Spent half the day exploring Shibuya. We wanted to go to a famous shopping mall called Shibuya 109 but it had closed due to a fire the previous day. So we went to Parco instead. Parco was super boujee so we didn't really buy anything. There was a shop that sold Pokemon cards and the most expensive one we could find was 42,000 yen which is roughly $470 NZD!!

    Also, Japan loves these things called Gacha. It's those little toys that are inside a capsule ball. You pay a few dollars into the machine and get a little figurine. But there are heaps scattered throughout the city and they have pretty much every cartoon/movie/anine character you can think of.
