• Giant 3D Cat

    October 11 in Japan 🌙 23 °C

    After leaving the Bake Neko Festival, I made my way back to Pod Select Hotel and had a much needed shower. After my shower, I got a second wind. Unlike other Japanese festivals I have attended, Bake Neko did not have street food vendors, so I did not graze on street nibbles like I have done at other events. So, I was ready for food after my shower. I googled tempura restaurants and found a highly rated one - Tempura Funabashiya - a short walk away. Although it was pricey at 3,000 yen for seven pieces of tempura, it was so good. The exterior of the restaurant only had Japanese script which may put some tourists off, but they had an English menu inside, and the staff did a great job of communicating.

    After dinner, I walked to the nearby giant 3D cat. I had seen this display in daylight before, but I couldn't get good videos then. This time round, I got much better videos since it was dark.
