The "Ultimate" Travel Bucket List Of A Humble Snail
Japan
Here's how to indulge the kid inside of you in Japan
Updated 2 years ago
Aside from the fact that Japan is a country full of wonder and culture, and is made up of over 6,800 islands in total which is crazy! It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia, and for good reason. My name is Ayeen, I’m a web graphic designer as well as an aspiring artist and I love Japan. I live in the Philippines and my dream has always been to go to Japan, not just to geek out and experience their culture but also to see the enchanting cherry blossoms. Imagining myself dressed up in pink kimono...strolling down the streets of Japan with a bag full of cute souvenirs

It's a museum dedicated to the works of the incredible anime Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, the Ghibli Museum features film replicas, props, as well as a history of the studio. AAAAAA it's like indulging the kid inside me ヾ(•ω•`)o

After being mesmerized by the experience at Ghibli Museum, next stop is the Swallowtail Butler Cafe \(@^0^@)/ Because I want to be pampered like a princess. Also, I grew up watching Disney princesses That's why enough with the maid cafes ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ “Let's go to a Butler Cafe!” The Swallowtail Butler Cafe has been around for years and is the perfect place to go for a geek like me who wants to be treated like a princess Located in the heart of Ikebukuro, Swallowtail employs a variety of butlers.

Alright! After being amused by all those mind blowing cuteness overload attractions and experience. Let's go shopping! One of Tokyo’s biggest shopping malls, Shibuya 109 is the place to go perfect for a geek like me who is looking to take home a kawaii souvenir. This tube-shaped building is a kitsch wonderland with ten floors stocked full of kawaii keyrings, cuddly toys, clothes, jewellery and other delights. Must-visit stores are Liz Lisa for endless florals and lace, Secret Honey for its collaborative dresses with Disney, Sarah Zodiaque for adorable alice bands and Ruby Rose for diamante bling. Check into a capsule pod for the night at The Millennials Shibuya, just 10 minutes’ walk from Shibuya 109.
