t77 around TOKYO

 

as a start, the picture of adeeb with the background of ever popular MONSTER (is it Godzilla?) on top of a building.  i am sure you have seen it somewhere and here we are walking just below it.

 when shopping in TOKYO, you cannot run away from shinjuku, harajuku, shibuya, ginza, just to name a few

 

 

 harajuku's thrift or bundle shops area.  we were shocked to find the prices of some goods are more expensive than a new one.  the concept here is more 'unique' or 'rare' staff rather than thrift. we didn't buy any

 

 

 

 the surrounding area is great for morning walk but the crowd is unbearable once all the shops are opened.

 

 

 

 

 they have found what they are looking for, and spend some time here.  you can draw your own design and print it out on the adidas shirt here.

 who cares, i might as well try my luck, says adeeb

few selected videos follow:

@ urayasu city, near the Disney. we choose the accommodation here because of it closeness to Disney.

look how the traffic gives pedestrian higher priority.  impressive

 

the house that we stayed in @ urayasu city

 the tourist guide @gotenba....... btw, thanks to muiz.  good job!!

t76 MISHIMA's SKYWALK

let me introduce to you a nice little place in MISHIMA district about 36 km from Gotenba, JAPAN.  this place is called SKYWALK. you will find a long suspension bridge overlooking the FUJIYAMA that you can just walk as if you are walking in the sky, hence the name SKYWALK.

 i have rented a small NISSAN car and drove from Gotenba to Mishima.  i am sure there is also bus commuting to this place, but of course you need a little research to confirm it.

 the suspension bridge look small

 the view of Fujiyama

 here we go

t75 this awesome town called GOTENBA

Gotemba is a city on the southeastern flank of Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The city, which covers an area of 194.9 square kilometres,...(follow this link)            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotemba,_Shizuoka

 our trip to gotemba has only one purpose which is to view Fuji mountain from the window of the apartment we are staying.  we managed to get apartment costing us around RM1000 per night.  worth it I say.

t74 it's disneysea this time

it's april 2018 this time and all of a sudden, we are here at maihama already this time to scout around THE DISNEYSEA, the only one in the world.

this time with two of our brothers that mean a lot of sharing in terms of tickets, accommodation, foods preparation, and more importantly manpower.  who is gonna drag those heavy and many bags.

not to forget stroller this time, for adeeb.

 

   

as can be seen, more on the video rather than still pictures, got to handle the kid as well.

 

 ahhh,  that soon?

the rest of it, check the video i took below. just in case, each video is less than one minute.
