Tokyo 2015 - Day 1

Tokyo - Day 1
2015.07.31 @ Akihabara & Shinjuku

Over my summer vacation, I took a little solo trip to Tokyo. I'd been there in the past, but it was only for about a day and a half. I figured it was worth a proper trip. I planned out all kinds of nerdy/strange things to do. Other than the fact that it was blazing hot the entire time I was there, it was a pretty amazing trip. I took a ton of pictures, so this will be another trip that is divided up into a few posts.

Akihabara

( This store, Don Quijote, was seven floors of random. )

( models )

( army surplus )

( exercise? )

( anime goods )

( leather goods )

( sunglasses )

( Hello Kitty )

( cosplay )

( games )

( UFO machines were everywhere. )

( many UFOs )

( Groove Coaster is my favorite arcade game in Japan. I spent so much money playing it. )

( Pokemon battle game )

( There was even a Maid Cafe in this store. )

( Maids hang around outside advertising. )

( I had lunch a Tucano's Grill. )

( It was a great Brazilian barbecue place. )

( I thought it was entertaining that this meaty dish was called PETA. )

( The two small steaks were amazing. It's nice that they cook on your plate, and you can eat them when you're good and ready. )

( I ordered a beer from this restaurant, but the owner still yelled at me for having an empty beer can in his establishment. Whoops. )

( street view )

( displays outside a toy store )

( street view )

( an amazing Star Wars display )

( so cool )

( some characters )

( My hotel was pretty close to this area. It was great. )

( street view )

( street view )

( There were many Sega buildings. They all had arcades inside. )

( more Akihabara buildings )

( another photo of the same )

( last one for now )

Shinjuku - Robot Restaurant

The Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku was incredible. It's absolute madness. Nothing made sense at all, but there were robots, drumlines and dinosaurs, and it is all performed cabaret-style. AMAZING!
