Japan Trip (Yokohama)

28th March 2012
Weather: Good

Since it is month end the weather turns warm. We feel much more comfortable already. Dad wanna buy knife from Japan and my sis brought us to a street where all are selling the kitchen equipments like : knifes, plates, bowls and etc...

Dad got to get what he want and I also surprisingly got many bento craft items here. It was so cute and I managed to get some disney designe which is made in Japan. :P Can't wait to start using it. We spent our morning time in shopping these.
 While waiting Yee yee looking @ the way to Sky tree
 Here we are..Tokyo Skytree
 Very hard to get the best shoot!
Very nice taking the photos here
Then we headed to Tokyo Skytree to take photos. It was not yet open and will having grand opening in May. A very nice view. To take the photo of skytree, everyone was lying on the floor to snap the best view of it due to too tall of the building.

After that, we headed to our lunch near by. :) Both my girls loves noodles so much and they really ate a lots of noodles in this trip. The meal cost about 1,800yen + for my own family. Good food. So far everyday we were having good food and we walked a lots. Thus we never feel like gaining any weight. Haha:)

After that, we headed back to our hotel to collect our luggages and headed to Yokohama. The journey is very short. Only about 30 minutes. We then checked in to our hotel once arrived. The hotel is so grand and look nice from the exterior. We drop off our lugagges then we out again. :P The room is big and nice. It was the best hotel we stayed among all days in Japan.

We went to the pier area. Night view from there is really nice especially the ferry wheel. :) Love it so much. Then we had our dinner inside a shopping mall. Too me, I feel ok but the rest said so so only. After that, we came to a cute Ice cream shop. Forgot the shop name, but they sing when u purchase the ice cream. This is the features of the ice cream shop.

We will be leaving tonight. But with not wasting our time, we still have much place to go. After breakfast near by the hotel in a Japanese fast food shop (Noodles), we heading to Ramen Musuem. It just a small musuem to visit. We got the Online coupon and got discount for the rate. Senior Citizen only 50yen and adults is 250yen/pax.

When we are about to leave, there is a show starting soon. So we decided to enjoyed it before leaving. A free show and interesting magical show. My little ones enjoyed so much. They both got free sculpting balloons from the performancer. :)

After that, we go for a lunch near by the musuem. The lunch spent us 2,000yen. A full sufficient & yummy simple lunch. :) After lunch, we want to do last minutes shopping again. We went back to the mall last night. Looking for sport shoes for Ann and we got a pair of blink blink skectcher canvas shoes for her @ only 1,050 yen. It is so worth and cheap! A pair of nice shoes. She changed it again on the spot. :P

After that, again we shop in the H&M. This H&M shop having kids deaprtment and Ann enjoying trying the outfit choosen. Why let her tried? Perhaps never get this brand before for her, not sure the size and cutting which is suit Ann. :) Not only buying for Ann. We also bought for Jayne, myself & hubby too. :)

Then finally we get each of them a pair of Vans sport shoes last minutes just before we left the shopping mall. Then we go to the pier area to take photos & the red brick house and walking along back to our hotel. My dad already face black while waiting us to do shopping. Guess he is too tired.

Ann was too tired & taken her nap around 5.30pm while we were queuing for our last show - 4D philea magical show. It was a bit wasted, if she watched I think she will like it very much. Very interesting 4D show. Jayne enjoyed it on my lap. After the show, Jayne also fall asleep already. Ann was sleeping on the stroller while we go for our dinner with 2 sleeping babies. While having meal, hubby carry Jayne. We then rest a while. After that, we walk around to take photos.

Was thinking to wait for the fireworks, but it seems very late and cold at night. We got to saw the night parade from far far behind. Do some shopping around the souvenirs shop. Finally Ann was awake when we about to leave. We let her choose a souvenirs from Disneyland before leaving. Finally she had chosen 3 cute car. (Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, & Piglet designs) Unfortunately when we were back in hotel, we noticed that Daddy taken 2 Pooh designs. Feel so heart pain. After shopping, she was very happy and we got to see the fireworks while we are leaving. :)

A very tiring day. But I knew both of them enjoyed very much in Disneyland & they love it. :P Ann mentioned that she want to come again next time. OK. But no more Tokyo Disneyland. Daddy said will bring them to HK Disneyland when Jayne grow older. :)
