Friday – November 17
We had breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant. It was a buffet, which had a lot of choices. It was a good value, and we were able to try different types of cuisines for brunch.
We took the train to Shinjuku to find the Godzilla’s head. We took some pictures and walked around for a bit. We found another 3D billboard that featured a cat, one of the ones I wanted to see.
We then took the train to Shibuya to find the Hachiko statue.
Hachiko is the famed dog that would wait for his owner at the train station. When his owner passed away, he would continue to visit the train station until his death. The statue was constructed to celebrate Hachiko’s loyalty to his owner. There was a line to take a picture with the statue, we were able to get a selfie with the statue because we had dinner reservations at a restaurant, I saw on Tik Tok.
We walked to Kamachan Onsen. When I looked up the restaurant it said that you needed reservations.
Luckily there was two reservations left, so I quickly made that reservation the day before. It was a little difficult because the online form was in Japanese, but I was able to secure the reservation.
The restaurant features a teddy bear hotpot. This shabu shabu hotpot give you a teddy bear-shapes collagen jelly, which turns into a broth when heated. I chose a chicken broth with chicken; Rick chose
miso broth with beef.
It came with an assortment of vegetables, and you can choose from various dipping sauces. It was a fun experience and definitely recommend it.
We took the train to Shinjuko Ni-chome to check out the gay neighborhood. It was still early so none of the bars were open, so we decided to go back to the hotel and have the dessert that we got at Mark City Food Show Sweets Zone in Shibuya crossing.
