Japanese Scrapbook Part II

Rich and I have now finally finished the scrapbook of our Japanese trip! Here's the final pages of the book.

1. Maid Cafe - A rather strange and Japanese concept! Japanese "maids" (girls dressed in anime style outfits) serve you cake and coffee in a super cutesy cafe.

2.Akihabara - This is an area of Toyko famous for it's anime stores and gaming. You can even visit the "Toyko Anime Centre". 3. Mejei Shrine - This is a beautiful shrine in Harajuku - even though we visited on a Wednesday afternoon it was still incredibly busy! 4. Harujuku - It's an amazing place - but it would have been even better to visit there if I had more spending money!
5. Asakusa - An era of Tokyo which is trying to preserve the Edo period history of Japan. It's an incredible place!
6. Tokyo River Cruise and Tokyo Tower - It's all great cheesy tourist fun!
7. Travelling on the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) and eating bento - the perfect way to travel! 8. Visiting the Japanese Snow Monkey - This was the most amazing day of our trip. 10. Visiting Kyoto tower - mostly because if I see a tower I have to visit! 11. The beautiful streets of Gion in Kyoto at night.12. Our final day in Kyoto - visiting temples and palaces.
13. Back in Tokyo and spending time hanging out at our capsule hotel.14. Our last day in Tokyo - it's back to Harujuku again!15. Visiting the Imperial Palace.16 - Goodbye Japan - everything was just super!

Japanese Scrapbook

Rich and I have been meaning to make a scrapbook of of winter holiday to Japan forever! Last weekend we finally started but we'll have to move quickly to finish the project before we leave Korea.

He's just a few of the photo's and other bits and pieces we have to scrapbook with - but this isn't everything. We collected a lot of "stuff" for the scrapbook during the trip.

Here's the front page of the scrapbook which we bought at a local store called "artbox" (one of my favourite stores for cuteness. The front page - designed by Rich - it's the plane that took us to Tokyo. A page devoted to the nightmare that is the Tokyo Subway!The first hotel we stayed at in Shinjuku.

The joys of Sanrio Puroland - aka Hello Kitty World!

The bright lights of Shinjuku.

Finally, rainy days in Tokyo!

Sorry the photo quality isn't the best, I am planning on picking up a new camera when I go home in a couple of weeks - but you get the general idea.

It's our first attempt at scrapbooking and I am pretty happy with it - I have done a few more pages since these photo's were taken which I will post at a later date.
