WWD Tokyo Day 1**


July 12, 2023

What We Did - Tokyo Day 1

Stop 1

Shibuya Station (aka Shubuya Scramble Square) - home to the famous intersection of people scrambling in every direction.

  • Shibuya Sky - observation deck overlooking the square - ¥2000

Stop 2

Daikanyama- Daikanyama: A Guide To Tokyo’s Little Brooklyn

Lunch - Maison ICHI Daikanyama
メゾン・イチ 代官山

Kyu Asakura House
Five minutes on foot from Daikanyama station, this beautifully preserved private residence that has been turned into a museum provides a peek into a traditional Japanese home, constructed in 1919. The former residence of the Asakura Family was built by its patriarch, Torajiro Asakura, and is a fantastic relic of Taisho era Japan that lasted from 1912 to 1926. Its wooden architecture and meticulously manicured Japanese gardens make it a true hidden gem and important cultural site.

Stop 3 - Rest at hotel

Stop 4

WWD Yokohama Day 1

July 26, 2023

Went sightseeing and shopping around Minato Mirai 21.

Sarah and Ian got eyeglasses at Owndays optometrist at Mark IS mall https://www.owndays.com/jp/ja/shops/681.

Tried to go to Megmi Suisan kaiten sushi on the 4th floor in Mark IS mall https://neo-emotion.jp/post_kaitensushi/mark-is/. Since the pandemic, kaiten sushi is a thing of the past, so there was no sushi on the conveyer belt. Ian thought the place smelled bad so we left. Went to Kamakura Pasta restaurant instead, also on the 4th floor. David took more bread than he was allowed from the bread bar and was reprimanded by the bread lady, who rang a bell every time she brought out fresh bread. https://www.saint-marc-hd.com/kamakura/menu/kamakura/ https://www.saint-marc-hd.com/kamakura/shop/370/

After lunch we went to the rooftop of Mark IS mall and saw the garden.

Patty went to doctor that evening at My Medical Clinic - Minato Mirai https://mymc.jp/minatomirai/. David and Patty went for prescription at Yokohama Station alone. Went back the next day because they gave her one too few antibiotic pills.

Ian, Kyoko and Sarah had dinner at Bonno Restaurant near Sakuragicho Station. http://www.bon-no.com/

Brunch with Mihoko at Garden Cafe

Dinner - Kyoko and Sarah had dinner with her mother and Mihoko in Totsuka. Ian, David and Patty tried to eat at Sushi Yamamoto (鮨山もと) in Hase. There was a family at the sushi bar. The father started telling how lucky we were to just walk in and eat since he had tried twice before and finally made a reservation. Just as we got settled, the chef, Yamamoto-san, holds up a tablet with the words, "I have a reservation coming soon. I only have enough rice for them." Surprised that a place with such a good reputation didn't have enough rice, we left.  We found another restaurant, Kohana Sushi, 小花寿司, 1 Chome-11-13 Hase, Kamakura, Kanagawa 248-0016, Japan. Two older chefs behind the bar were very accommodating and we had an excellent meal starting with sushi platters, then we started picking individual items, and a couple of small bottles of sake.

Brunch w/ Mihoko (Kyoko's Sister) at Garden House Kamakura - 11:30am*

(Auto-translated) GARDEN HOUSE RESTAURANT is a pleasant restaurant consisting of a 60-year-old atelier and a garden terrace where you can fully enjoy the lush greenery of the garden. The concept is "Season-inspired" and "Fine-crafts". Seasonal and handmade are the themes. The cuisine is centered around dishes boldly using handmade loin ham, which can only be found here, in collaboration with "Kamakura Ham Tomioka Shokai," a local ham manufacturer with a 110-year history in Kamakura, as well as PIZZA, PANCAKE, GREEN, ICE CREAM, and other dishes using seasonal ingredients from Shonan. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA style. We also collaborated with "Kamakura Beer," a craft beer brewery also located in Kamakura. GARDEN HOUSE's original seasonal craft beer is kegged first thing in the morning and sent directly to you. You can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer that you can only drink here.
