So, after our wonderful trip through Hokkaido, we spent the last few days in Tokyo before heading back to Sweden! When we arrived by plane, we had the most amazing views of endless Tokyo with even mount Fuji in the back. We also had a great view over Shibuya, which we ofcourse would visit!

The nightlife in Tokyo is just something. We love to walk around for hours and take photos of all the colors and characters. Our hotel was in Shinjuku so a perfect base to start exploring Tokyo by night.



The next morning we got up early and got a cute breakfast before heading to Setagaya for the Shirow Masamune exhibition!

Shirow Masamune is famous for his manga “Ghost in the shell” but he made many more, and this exhibition showed tons of his sketches and inspiration. It was really inspiring!



The rest of the day we spent walking around Shinjuku and Shibuya, soaking in the atmosphere.




The “shibuya patrol” car was driving around, broadcasting warning messages to foreigners to watch out for scams and overpriced bars etc. Ofcourse this car was incredibly cute:

Shibuya is one of the busiest areas in Tokyo!





And we walked back from Shibuya to Shinjuku, passing Harajuku. Can you spot us??









Our second day in Tokyo we visited the Mokuhonkan, a beautiful woodblock print shop in Asakusa, where we bought a couple of prints, and then had one beef skewer for lunch that cost 20 euros, because it was the most high quality beef you could get XD And it really was incredibly delicious! You have to do some crazy stuff in Tokyo.



We then headed to Jimbocho, a neighborhood in Tokyo famed for its old bookshops!






We decided to go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Building in Shinjuku, this is a high skyscraper with an observation platform on top!




Everyone still at work at night:

The Metropolitan building was lit up in red!

From the top, we had beautiful views over Tokyo:




We walked through the underground tunnels back to our hotel.

At the airport the next day, we had a final sushi breakfast!

We bought tons of souvenirs, but here are some of my favorites:




Goodbye Japan, till next time!
