246 Common is an outdoor mobile/trailer food court/farmer’s market community in the middle of Aoyama/Omotesando. They have over 20 or so very small shops which range from flower & clothing shops to bakeries, restaurants or drinks/snacks. If you’re not paying attention, you could easily miss this little gem in the middle of the busy city. Everything at 246 Common is located outdoors but there are two tents with heaters inside as well if you plan to dine here. If you’re ever in this area, I recommend checking it out.

This is what we snacked on when we came here :)

Aren’t these yummy homes Adorable? They are currently on display in the main area of the Yurakucho (Ginza) Muji store. The best part is, you can purchase kits to create your own. They have so many goodies to customize your house and they smell so good… it’s definitely worth a look :) Happy Holidays!

PS: The last photo is not from the muji store.

{ Fall in Kyoto }

2012, Nov 19

Kyoto is one of my favorite cities in Japan and I love visiting during the Autumn time. Since the foliage season is right around the corner, I decided to put together some of my favorite spots to visit and places to eat on this 3-part special post. Hope it will make you want to visit Kyoto :)

As you might already know, Kyoto is a very popular place to visit amongst both locals and foreigners during the Cherry Blossom season in the Spring and the foliage season in the Fall. However, people here say it’s pure “LUCK” if you get to go during either of these two special times since the peak bloom for the cherry blossoms and the foliage pretty much change every year and only last for about 2~3 weeks each. (Also some places bloom slower/faster so it’s good to check out foliage reports before you go.)

The pictures above are from:
– Komyoji (光明寺) : Famous for their “Momiji-sando”, which is a walking path full of Momiji trees.
– Yoshiminedera (善峯寺) : Hard to get to (located all the way up in the mountains) but it’s one of my favorite spots!
– Kodaiji (高台寺) : Famous for their breathtaking night lit foliage.

Stay tuned for some of my favorite restaurants to dine at when I’m in Kyoto.

{ Tokyo Disneyland – Halloween 2 }

2012, Oct 6

Tokyo Disneyland has pretty decent food overall but I think this time around we had some of the best yet. We ate at “Grandma Sara’s Kitchen” near Splash Mountain and had their special set for 1480yen. It’s Omurice with baked chicken (two different kinds of sauce with pumpkin and broccoli), a choice between soup or salad, caramel pumpkin cake, and a drink of your choice. The portion was a little small but it’s surprisingly quite good. It’s nice to be able to get decent meals like this at a theme park. However, this menu is a limited time special until October 31st, 2012 so make sure to get it before then :)

{ Tokyo Disneyland – Halloween 1 }

2012, Oct 5

Happy early Halloween!

I recently went to Tokyo Disneyland and thought I’d share this very festive Halloween-themed park with you. It was beautifully decorated and I loved everything about it. I really enjoy how many people get dressed up and go all out when they go to Tokyo Disneyland. There’s so much eye candy and it’s fun to just sit down and people watch to see everyone’s fun outfits.

It’s finally fall season here in Tokyo (Summer was very long this year and brutally hot) so it’s the perfect time to visit the park right now. Hope you’ll get a chance to visit during this Halloween season as well.
