melaOpposites attract in Japan—ancient traditions fuse with advanced technology while minimalism meets kitsch

Two weeks before trip: I remember telling myself that the next time I visit Japan, staying in a capsule hotel would be on the list of must-do’s. Hope this one’s a goodie! —————— Me and my friend stayed here for three nights, and it was such a cool experience! Our cabins (we called them space pods though) we’re so cozy at night and we’re actually quite spacious. The rest of the facilities we’re great as well - the toilets, showers & lockers we’re clean, the staff were super accommodating, and bonus, there’s a small coffee shop in the lobby! 😊👍🏽 A definite recommendation .... unless you’re claustrophobic 😅

Seafood paradise! 😍 The outer market had so much food stalls that my friend and I shared most of our food choices so that we could try a lot. We got the scallops with cheese & uni, wagyu beef, strawberry mochi, grilled squid, & I tried this uzo potato soft serve which surprisingly was so good ! 🤤

Famous gyoza place in Harajuku! 😋 We visited the shop around 3:00pm on a Monday so luckily there wasn’t any line.

Any trip I take isn’t complete without a trip to a park! Yoyogi was extra pretty because it’s fall season in Japan 🍂🌲 It’s the perfect place to laze around. 🧡

Great little coffee shop near Yoyogi Park. A+ for the milk they used because our lattes were heavenly 🙌🏼

A constant favorite, but I think this is my favorite branch! Beautiful interiors, a lot of tables, and outlets if you wanna work remotely or just charge your phone for a bit (that’s what we did lol). A bit noisy inside, but the outside seating is great for chilling & conversing 👍🏽

Stumbled upon this coffee shop when we we’re on our way to Kabukijo, so we had a 30 min coffee break here and the iced latte was actually really good. Definitely trying the waffles next time though! 😋

Love this little shop in Shibuya! ❤️My dad passed down his love for Tintin comics to me when I was a kid, and this little hidden shop was such a treat 😊
