2 day trip
I went to Kanagawa to Koyama-mama restaurant, so we also spend a day nearby in a park waiting for the ramenya to open. After we went to my friends house in Shizuoka, it was really nice, we spend the night (from 9pm to 4am) in the karaoke. I managed to get a 97point in the Maji 1000% Love from UtaPur (no shame). And also took so many purikuras, they had 5 machines, I think we used all. In the last day the took me sight seen, it was really nice farewell gift.
Ryutaro Ramen Shop As a good fan of NEWS, I had to take a day to visit Keiichan’s mama restaurant. I managed somehow to get 3 of my brazilian friends to make a 7h trip to the restaurant. But the ramen was good, we were able to give gifts to the Koya-mama and all the staff and costumers where amazed by the fact that 4 foreigner could sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY from memory (it was someone bday and the put it in the radio while bringing the cake). Unfortunately we had to leave really fast because it was the last train to my friends house (where we were going to sleep)
FujiQ Weekend of with my friends. We took the bus to FujiQ, and luckily for us the weather was nice, not to cold and no rain. PERFECT. As expected there were many people, but it was not crowded, all roller coaster lines were 1h long…we managed to go in almost everything. It was so nice, I wish we had good roller coaster in my country
More Snow - Skii trip
As I said before, I’m a tropical being and this kind of low temperature is not a good thing for me (anything bellow 15ºC is to cold and we should stay home in our beds). But, one of my childhood dreams was to learn how to skii. So once more, my school had a “Snow Trip” scheduled and I was the first one to join in. It was a really nice resort and the weather was perfect for skiing. We also had the chance to experience some Japanese culture like, making mochi and a tradicional “sushi” from the area. Also, I got to go to an open bath (onsen) in the middle of the snow, and somehow we started a snowball fight between the women and men bath (we were separated with a tall wall, it was not a mix bath). It was too surreal.
Sumo Tournament I’m a big fan of sports and for some unknown reason my mom watches Sumo on TV, so I grew up with it. So when my school offered to take some students for a really cheap price for the First Day of the Sumo Season 2016 I couldn’t miss it. It was in the Kokugikan, the most famous (and big) sumo stadium of Tokyo.
First Snow
As a brazilian I grown up in a place with no snow. So whats my surprise when I woke up to the FIRST and ONLY day of snow of Tokyo in 2015. It was to cold, I didn’t like it xP
Pokecenter Ikebukuro made its 1st year bday! And I went there to check (I ended up buying nothing...but...it’s still nice to walk around those cute plushes)
Comiket 2015
My friend is a cosplayer, and she wanted company in the Comiket so I went with her! I have never seen so many fanzine tables in my life!! I didn’t buy anything because YAOI/YURI everywhere and I felt so shy that I couldnt bring myself to talk with the artists. But I managed to ask those Saint Seiya cosplayers to take some pictures
Roppingi Lights + Tokyo Tower
So, interesting story. My friend decided to take me to Roppongi to see the Christmas Lights because she knew I wanted to see beautiful ones. So when she decided to go home I simply decided to take a few more pictures. I walked for half hour and when I noticed I was super close to Tokyo Tower, so why not see the night view, completely unplanned. It was so nice!
Its Autumn!! Last year, in November, I decided to check if the park near my house had any beautiful red/yellow leaves (yeah, we dont have many in Brazil, for me this is a new beautiful thing). And by coincidence the Hanazono temple had the annual Tori no Ichi Matsuri on that day!

Randomness
So, I was going to the bookstore. And I run into Mission Impossible premier, and I saw Tom Cruise. Then, I managed to find books from a Brazilian author, shige’s books, bunch of magazines about Yuzu and Sherlock manga o.o I love Japan!
Festa de Verão da escola! Me voluntarie para ser staff da festinha da escola. Olhe minhas lindas saladas. Sem contar que teve dança da Sandra e pudemos brincar com a katana dela pelo resto da noite xP —————————————— Summer Party at school! I volunteered myslef to be a staff on my school’s party. I did the salad plates! Beautiful right? We had Sandra’s dance too… and after we got to play with her katana xP
Osaka - Dia 06 Último dia real de viagem, também chamado de “o dia da água”. Porque? Além de ter chovido o dia todo, fomos para o Aquário de Osaka, que tem um tanque gigantesco bem no centro, cheio de tubarões (incluindo um tubarão baleia, que é gigante) e outros com lontras*-*, golfinhos, focas, etc. Depois partimos para o Spa World, uma casa de banhos com um monte de banhos temáticos (fomos no andar asiático, banho tradicional japonês, bali, Tailândia, etc) e por fim uma massagem depois de todo o cansaço da viagem.

Kyoto -> Osaka - Dia 04 Como eu disse no post sobre ontem, acordamos as 5h porque fomos rezar/meditar com os monges do templo Nishi Hongan-ji que ficava perto do nosso hotel (aproveitamos para treinar nossa leitura de furiganas para cantar as rezas junto com todos). Depois de um grande café da manhã, partimos de trem para Osaka de trem. Tivemos que esperar um pouco para o horário do check-in, mas assim que nossas coisas estavam nas nossas capsulas fomos para o Castelo de Osaka (ficamos desapontadas com o museu que tinha dentro) e pra terminar o dia um passeio pela area de Dotonbori para comermos Yakiniku.
—————————————————————————————— Kyoto -> Osaka - Day 04 Like I said before, we woke up at 5am to go and pray with the monks of Nishi Hongan-ji (a temple near my hostel), and we used the time to make our reading faster, since we were trying to read the prayers with everybody. After that a good breakfast and then a train to Osaka. We had to wait sometime to make the check-in time. So after our things were in our capsules, we went to Osaka Castle (that made our disappointed with the museum that they have inside). To finish off the day we went to eat Yakiniku in Dotonbori and see a little os Nightlife of Osaka.
