Unfortunately, it was raining on the day we came back to Fushimi Inari. We didn't let the weather defeat us, though! And this time we got to drag our mom with us. She was probably not too happy about all the walking we did.
Day 2 was easily the best day in our Tokyo stay. Of course, it's not without a few misses, but the good stuff outweighed the not-so-bad by tons!
We arrived in Tokyo in the afternoon. After checking into our hotel in Akihabara, we ate late lunch at a restaurant nearby.
My brothers and I went to Kyoto by ourselves with goals that were probably a little too big considering how we only had one day. The adults visited two places in Western Kyoto the day before, neither of which we got to visit ourselves, but we did get to see four places, so it wasn't a complete loss in my opinion!
Excuse the pun. I felt like I had to do it! Anyway, you have to admit that Namba, home to Dotonbori and Den-Den Town, is an awesome place for shopaholics and specially the nerds. Maybe not the number one, but it's pretty close, right?
It was raining on the day we have allotted for Universal Studios Japan and we were constantly discouraged from going by our host, but that didn't stop us from waking up early to join hundreds of commuters that dreary Monday morning.
If you've been following my Instagram, you might be aware that I've very recently been to Japan. And you know what that means: I'll be posting a series of travel diary entries in the next few days! As usual, there are a lot of photos to go through, so for now here's a taste of what's to come... Or, more accurately, some photos that don't fit anywhere else.
2.5-Dimensional musicals is a term commonly used to call musicals based on Japanese manga and animations. As manga and anime are in 2D and live theater is in 3D, the live theatre adaptation of manga and anime series are then given the label "2.5D". It's a cute label, albeit a highly inaccurate one considering the actual meaning of 2D and 3D.

As someone who gets too emotionally invested in fictional characters, I also enjoy doing the art thing and pretending to be good at writing amateur fiction. It is unfortunate that I don't get paid to write stuff on this blog but I sure wish I did.
