Robins Japan

Finally I was at the Pokémon Café at Nihombashi in Tokyo. The café opened last year in Tokyo but i didn't managed to go there last time cause you have to reserve a table beforehand! The website for reservation is only partly in english but I was able to reserve without further help. The café is located in Nihombashi inside a mall. In front of the café was a big sleeping snorlax (Relaxo in german and Kabigon in japanese). Also there was a big merchandise shop with all the things you also can find in Pokémon Centers like in Ikebukuru. At the entry was a timetable and everyone for an specific time got together inside. All where seated in the same area at the café. After seating you have 90min to spend in the café. The orders can be placed via tablet. We orders the Pikachu curry, Umbreon chicken burger (Nachtara in German and Buraki in Japanese) and a Gengar smoothie (in German and Japanese also Gengar). The Gengar smoothie was the best of those three. Even so it was more like i

So we went to Karuizawa. Where is Karuizawa and why you ask? Karuizawa is in the Nagano prefecture. A little bit more than one hour with the shinkansen from Tokyo station. We went there cause we watched Terrace House, a Japanese reality TV show on Netflix. And the last season was in Karuizawa.  Maybe for the most people I have to explain Terrace House first. It's not like German or American reality TV. So don't expect so much trash there. In the Terrace House six young people are living together and get filmed through their daily live. So they talk, they work and they Date. Actually most stories are about the dates of the Terrace House members. Some of them have some goals they want to archive while staying in the Terrace House and move out when they reach that goal. Some just stay there the whole time. Some move out very quickly. There is no script and no forced games or something like that. But to be honest many of the members are models or actors. For the normal Japane

It's my 10th time in Japan. Some things start to get normal, many things are still impressing. But there are still many new things and areas. I was in Kichijōji. Mainly cause we watched the drama "Hibana: Spark" on Netflix and the main character was living there and he was in that park sometimes (Inokashirakoen). Instead of musicians like in the drama we found silence and funny pedal boats in the park. So it was still nice. About Kichijōji I was very surprised how nice the area is. It's a little bit more outside of the Tokyo centers. But only a 20-30 min ride by train from shibuya. If you drive there, you get to see much shopping places and restaurants. So if you get tired of the crowded shibuya and all the other tourists, maybe you should check out Kichijōji. There are still many people but it's less crowded and you will find nearly everything there, too. What I found, while searching a restaurant, was a ツリボリカフェ(tsuribori Café). It's a place where y
