10 days in Tokyo | Omotesando & Ginza 👟

Hello 👋🏻 Back with another post! Let me share with you my day 3 and 4 itinerary :)

Day 3 - cafe hopping at Omotesando and shopping at Harajuku

We started the day with a morning breakfast at Baggage Coffee. It’s a cosy cute cafe located at Omotesando. You can just google maps it for easy reference. The shop is quite small and has hipster vintage vibes. Coffee was good and they also serve hotdog buns and sandwiches. ☕️ It’s a great spot for OOTD too!

After that, we went to New Balance situated at Harajuku. We queued for about 20 minutes before going in. I bought myself a pair of NB 👟 heheh! The place is quite big with 3-4 levels so you can slowly find the shoe that you like!

Next, we headed to Gyukatsu Motomura for lunch which was an insane wait of 3 hours 😱 It’s fried beef cutlet set meal and you can choose 1, 1.5 or 2 cutlets. The meal was an interesting experience because you get to cook the beef to your preferred doneness. Personally didn’t think it’s worth the longggg wait but my sister thought otherwise. So to each their own :)

Next stop was Higuma Doughnuts located at Omotesando 🍩 A nice cosy atmosphere serving good coffee and doughnuts. Doughnuts were warm and super soft! It’s also a good place for OOTD because natural light enters the shop.

We had Nabezo for dinner; a sukiyaki hotpot buffet in Shinjuku. I had it the previous time I came Tokyo and saved this place because I knew I had to come back for it. It was about $25 per pax. Ended the night playing claw machines in Shinjuku area hehe.

Day 4 - Ginza

We started our day hoping to try this famous udon at Ginza. It’s called Godaime Hanayama Udon. What’s special is that the udon noodles are flat! Unfortunately, the queue was superrrrrrr long and we gave up queuing and settled for Imakatsu instead, which served Tonkatsu. The lunch was pretty satisfying! We also tried Bongen coffee. And let’s say that their coffee was second in my list thus far. (First is definitely bluebottle coffee 😜) There were only 2 baristas so be prepared to wait in line. We waited for about 30 minutes for our coffee.

Afternoon was spent walking around Muji flagship store and the largest Uniqlo. Muji had about 6 floors, comprising of a bakery, dining area and hotel! We spent about 2-3 hours shopping in there 🫣 (it’s rly that big!) The uniqlo had 12 levels and you can customise your t shirt or bags too.

Hope this itinerary helps those who are planning for their Tokyo trip! I will share more in the next posts! Stay tuned ✨
