New Year's Eve

Went to Pie Holic for pie buffet on New Year's Eve with Mish. As we didn't make a booking, we had to sit outside in the cold~ It was super cold.....never am I going to sit outside again!


After brunch, we decided to take a long walk of exploration.

Along the way, we found some interesting spots.

:)

As we had a very heavy brunch, we skipped lunch. For dinner, we wanted to grab something near us but unfortunately nothing was open, except for this soba shop! As expected of New Year's eye, everyone is at home with their family watching kouhaku and having toshi koshi soba~

It makes sense why soba shop was the only shop that was open!

The top one is mine. The soba was yummy. I've never had such a beautiful bowl of soba before and I guess it makes sense why it costs 1000 yen. 

This one here is Mish's dry soba which was interesting as we've never seen anything like it before.

Wefie~

After dinner, we took the midnight train out to Shinjuku and visited a shrine there where we saw this huge line of people waiting for their turn to pray.

This is the japanese lion dance which also eats a person's head for good luck.

Then we moved on to another area to wait for Mish's friend's concert to end so that we can go to another shrine for our hatsumode.

We went to hatsumode and arrived back home at about 4am!


We showered and slept and then woke up at in time for lunch on New Year's Day. 


We went out not knowing that most shops aren't open on New Year's. 


So we went to a kaiten sushi to grab food instead.
