Blogmas Day 25: Roppongi Hills Illumination

December 25, 2016 by Si-Qi Ho in Blogmas, Japan Trip

Merry Christmas! I'm going to write a few more posts about Japan here and there. I had planned to write about a lot more but all my plans, notes and extra photos are on my laptop that is in the shop right now - see Blogmas Day 16: Blogmas Continues

There is a lot to explore around Roppongi and at night around Christmas time there are illuminations to look at. After our hearty diner at Nishiazabu Gogyo 西麻布五行 (Blogmas Day 22: Burnt Miso Ramen) we had a little stroll around the illuminations, it was lovely!

Blogmas Day 21: Roppongi Hills Mori Tower

Roppongi is another great area with so much to see and do! Mori Tower is definitely a highlight. We went to the Modern Art Museum and then up top to the Sky Deck above the tower.

This has to be one of the highest points I've ever been to where you can view the skyline without a window blocking you. Also, this sky deck doesn't seem to be as busy as the other places available for sky view, I'm guessing because the Skytree boasts higher views and the Tokyo Tower is a major tourist attraction but I highly recommend the Mori Tower, you'll get an incredible skyline that includes Tokyo Tower!

We stayed up to watch the sunset again. I really love night views.

Blogmas Intro: Japan Trip

December 01, 2016 by Si-Qi Ho in Japan Trip, Blogmas

Hello everyone!

For the past year and a bit, I abandoned blogging and uploaded any drawing pics onto my instagram instead. However this Christmas, I've revamped the whole website and decided to give blogging another crack! I'm going to do Blogmas, where I'll post something everyday up to Christmas day but instead of posting Christmas-themed posts, I'll be blogging about my recent trip to Okinawa and Tokyo.

I got back home just a little over a week ago and it was by far the best trip I've ever gone on! I visited the famous Aquarium in Okinawa Ocean Park, watched the 'Queen of Live' Koda Kumi in her final tour show, made wishes at Meiji Temple, saw Mount Fuji in a day trip to Hakone, geeked out at the Studio Ghibli museum and so much more! My trip was absolutely jam packed and I'll try to share as much of it as I can, so please stay tuned!
