#SeasonalEvent I went to Loewe's first large-scale exhibition. The exhibition traces the history of the brand from its founding in 1846 as a workshop for leather craftsmen to its development into a global brand through various products and artworks. You can enjoy various content such as collaborations with Ghibli and Picasso, and an exhibition that recreates the workshop. There were many highlights, from classic bags to leather objects that can only be seen at exhibitions. You need at least two hours. There is also a shop where you can purchase products. However, you can only stay for 15 minutes. My personal impression is that you can't make an instant decision on hundreds of thousands of products in 15 minutes😂 This is a must-see for Ghibli, Picasso, and Loewe fans, so if you're visiting Tokyo during Golden Week, be sure to stop by! Dates: March 29th (Sat) to May 11th (Sun)Location: 6-35-6 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, TokyoAdmission: Free. Advance reservations are required for tickets! You can reserve on LINE! #Loewe exhibition #art exhibition #exhibition

#cherryblossom25 We enjoyed the sakura view at Harajuku, where the vibrant energy of the district blended beautifully with the calm elegance of cherry blossoms. As we walked through the lively streets, we found pockets of quiet where sakura trees stood in full bloom, their soft petals offering a peaceful contrast to the colorful shops and bustling crowds. Near Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park, the cherry blossoms created a picturesque canopy, casting gentle shadows on the paths below. Locals and tourists alike paused to admire the scene, snapping photos and enjoying the moment. Surrounded by both tradition and trend, the sakura at Harajuku felt uniquely magical and truly unforgettable.

#earthdayjourney #animalcafe #travel #japan_vacation Stepping into Mipig Harajuku felt like entering a world of adorable chaos! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by these tiny, fluffy piglets running around, playfully snuffling and interacting with visitors. The space was cozy, filled with pastel colors and an atmosphere that felt like stepping into a whimsical dream. Interacting with the pigs was the highlight of the experience. They were so friendly and curious, nudging up to visitors for pets or a quick cuddle. The staff ensured that the pigs were comfortable and well cared for, making the visit not just fun but also heartwarming. I even had the chance to feed them little snacks, which made the whole experience even more delightful.

Had one of the best ramen in Tokyo; Harajuku. This is my second time at this ramen shop and I will definitely be back again for the amazing pork broth, tender and melt in the mouth pork.
