Japan Trip 2013 - Takeshita Street, Harajuku (Part 2 - Idol Park & Sanuki Udon Hanamaru)
While the girls were pretty much caught up with their shopping, the guys had their fair share of fun by just looking at the eye candies roaming around the streets. Most of the women on the streets of Japan really put in an effort to make themselves look pretty and it's not exaggerating to say that decent looking girls are everywhere in Japan until you kinda get numbed towards seeing pretty girls.
Some random shots:
If you enjoy K-Pop stuff, then Harajuku is also one of the place to be in. The shop Idol Park sells a lot of K-Pop merchandises ranging from albums to keychains to name tags under one roof at a price similiar to shops in Korea (and definitely much cheaper than Malaysia). I got Girl's Day 'Female President' at about ¥2000 if I remember correctly.
I also visited one of the shops selling Lolita Fashion. The prices are insane and I am really impressed that this culture is going strong in Japan. A lolita dress can cost up to RM500 but I have to admit the details and designs are really nice (not for everyday fashion though).
We ended our visit at Takeshita to a visit to an Udon restaurant, our first as well since arriving. Sanuki Udon Hanamaru serves one of the most delicious udon that I've ever tried. The whole process of making looks remarkably simple but the flavour is amazing, especially the marinated pork that they use.
