Hey you guys Phoebe here from Little Grey Box now Matt and I are so so

excited and so happy because we are in our favorite country of all time

Japan and today is our first full day right here in Tokyo and we thought we

would start things off in Harajuku now Harajuku is world-famous it is the heart

of Japan's awesome teen culture where fashion trends are set there are all

things bright colorful Hello Kitty vibrant it is just an incredible place

and I am so excited to get in there and check it out

starting with Takeshita Dori now this is the famous walking street and a really

good place to start your adventure in Harajuku let's go check it out

Daiso is a great place to start along Takashita Dori it is a really cheap shop

full of the stuff you didn't know you desperately needed they have everything

and anything in here and it's usually only a couple hundred Yen I love this

place my sister buys all of her eyelashes from here the false ones

now if you're so inclined you might want to check out one of the precursors

behind me I'm definitely saying that wrong and what that is is those photo

booths that you see where the girls go in and then you take photos and then you

can do things like change the shape of your eyes or you know make your skin

really glowy I think it's like the sticker kind of real life for most

versions and facetune pretty interesting when I'm gonna do it but you might want

to and of course you cannot come to Japan without eating ramen they're

finding vegetarian friendly or vegan friendly or any kind of ramen that

doesn't contain pork can be a little bit tricky but lucky the guys at a furry

ramen have you covered so I know for a fact they do an amazing

vegan seasonal ramen in there and it is going to be delicious laughs over here

didn't get to try it this time I'm all-in ordering in Tokyo

is a a bit different so here were the furry

for example you have a vending machine so you guys sit down and be presented

with a menu and have it you know a server come over and take your order

you get to decide what you want please come over here and you are going to need

cash your cash into the machine and then you make your selection you and your

ticket to the server and they might ask you a question about what kind of broth

you want for example or what kind of noodles you want and then they will get

your order over to you and don't worry I order um all the times you have anybody

to stop it usually able to help this full of being in ramen looks sorry

beautiful it is famous we're looking for the ramen

I even had you man not only that it smells incredible

they roasted these little cauliflower florets the noodles look absolutely

amazing look at all these fresh greens it looks insane I am so excited let's

dig in and try this I would say this wasn't exactly the cheapest bowl of

ramen it was about fourteen hundred and eighty yen but I have a feeling it's

is incredible this is cat Street and no not the kind of cat meow meow it's just

: chemistry so don't come here this week to see a whole of cats do you be

disappointed that guy was maybe so CAD Street is all

about drew takes a really cool trendy shopping areas now trendy is the word

here this is what you're gonna find some really cute boutiques lots of stores to

pick up stuff you just can't find anywhere else but I have to say I don't

think you're gonna find anything too budget-friendly this is more your

high-end experience there are also some really good eateries around here too but

it's well worth coming down a cart Street having a stroll because the

streets here are just beautiful I like it a lot more than takeshiba Dori so I

see the Dori is very touristy and in my opinion it's a little overdone but cat

Street and all the alleyways around here they're so peaceful and beautiful the

boutiques are so interesting there's just so much to see and do you know

there are plenty of great places to eat around Turkey and some of them are

bakeries there's just so much good pastry around Tokyo right now in

harajuku hypervisor going places that maybe are a little away from the major

touristy spots with the Dominique and sell bakery behind me the cakes are

really really beautiful and I think they're really well priced for what they

are and how much work it goes into it Matt and I are basic so we've gone with

a pen through chocolate so a chocolate croissant I just live for a good

croissant filled with chocolate they warmed this up it was 380 m2 mouth

I checked out this place online and really want to come and check it out

it's I'm gonna send it's like a máquina I think that's how they say it

and just the coffee was really nice it was like a really cool place it's away

from the main road and they do soy milk so I thought it would be a really good

option the coffee isn't exactly cheap this soy latte was around five hundred

yen which is pretty steep but treat yourself

so we are at the meiji jingu shrine here in harajuku and it is absolutely

beautiful it is of course a tribute to the emperor meiji and the Empress and

it's just a really beautiful place to come to escape the madness of the

harajuku streets one thing you can't really sit around in here so it's more

of a walk around kind of experience I would recommend coming in the afternoon

when the light is all beautiful like it is now it's a totally free thing to do

and you just have to be prepared to walk in a little bit and walk out a little

bit because it's not just like a dip into that kind of situation it will take

you a minute to get in here but once you're in it's incredible

we are in your yoga park now I have to be honest and say today is Monday and it

is not as good on a Monday the day you really want to come here is on the

Sunday that's a we visited last time we were here that was incredible the park

fills up with people and they're all doing whatever the heck they want you've

got breezes out front dancing you've got groups of wrens practicing their

monologue people rehearsing dances if I were here I would be getting myself a

picnic and I would be coming here to enjoy the sunshine and just soak it all

in it was one of my favorite Tokyo experiences last time we visited like I

said today's Monday so it's just us and personally five million crows but we are

gonna go and do something that I really love which is to check out the dog paw

now you guys know by now pretty much the only reason I travel is to make cute

dogs I'm seriously reconsidering my job title to name it travel dog

there is one thing I love it is gyoza I live the dumplings and one of the best

places get them in her sugar is here at her as you're good go salud so we're

gonna go inside now and get some tea cuz I am starving

okay that was a massive fail we went in there the food all looked like it was

going to be great but everything was pork which is fine I know

cherries are traditionally pork so that's my era

I should have researched that better instead now we're going for veggie

burgers and fries so we are at the great oh my gosh you guys have no idea how
