Emperor’s Palace

Our next stop was going to the Emperor’s Palace.

We walked and walked.. it was quite far from where our bus stop..

We finally arrived at the gate of the Palace!After that bridge is the palace.. we walked up to the gate but we are not allowed to go near the gate. It was a bit gloomy that day!The Gate

Since we walked far, we got thirsty… 

Lunch Time

After our tea ceremony, we went to a hotel with a huge garden.

We were headed to this restaurant…

Then they prepared our lunch…

It was grilled meat.. oh it simply made my day! I love grilled meat so much! They cooked it the way I wanted it.

I think we ate a lot… it made me more energized the rest of the trip. Then they served this vanilla ice cream. I had this picture taken while waiting for everyone…

Tea Ceremony

It is my second time to have Tea Ceremony in Japan.

I like it because I got a chance to know their culture and it always amazed me and that is the reason why I love travelling.

So we went inside a hotel and to my surprise we were headed to a wonderful garden.
There is this little hut and we went inside to do the tea ceremony.

At first we were given this little sweet candy.

Then they demonstrated the tea ceremony.

Then they gave us this matcha tea, it was a little bitter and with the sweet candies, the taste seems perfect. 

After the tea ceremony, we were given time to explore the garden…

At merong kinasal… 🙂

The garden was so relaxing… They even have a little lake inside…

Tokyo Tower

We joined a city tour and our first stop is in Tokyo Tower.

The Tower

This time we seated in a front part of the bus because we came in early this time. yay!

But to my dismay, I don’t want to went up to the tower because I am really afraid of heights and I don’t want to ruin my day of going to the tower on our first tour. So, I let hubby went up to the tower while I just stayed in the bus.

Our picture taken together by a tourist too, we were so thankful for him.

I think next time, I will also went up, if my mood is okay. ahahha

Premier Cabin Hotel in Shinjuku

During our stay in Tokyo, we checked in at Premier Cabin Hotel in Shinjuku.

The place was so tiny but I think this is the common hotel rooms in the city.

I just remembered our hotel in New York, it was as tiny as this too. I think big cities have this tiny rooms.

Though it was tiny, but it was clean. All the things I needed was there and  near to everything we needed. The hotel staff were also nice and the breakfast was really good. I started missing the food when I came back home.

The bed was also so soft and comfortable that the moment I went back from our tour, I can sleep immediately.

Gotemba Premium Outlet

After visiting the Old Village, our next stop is the Gotemba Premium Outlets.

I’m not in the mood to shop, so I just check the Adidas outlet and bought jacket.

Then we looked for a place to seat but when it was time to go back to the bus, I saw interesting stores…

Then…  I just loose control.. hahahha

It was so spacious. Our 1 hour allotted time is not enough to check every stores.

Before entering to our bus, our tour guide saw us and took a picture of us together with the Mt. Fuji in our background.

I looked so tired already. I always sleep before 10pm when I was in Japan. Grabeng pagod kakagala kaya maaga natutulog.
