HJ's Birthday at Hattifnatt

July 16 is Hyunji's birthday and this year we celebrated it at Hattifnatt, a very cute cafe at Koenji.
It is so far the cutest cafe I've ever visited in Japan that serve good food :)
I really recommend everyone to give it a try!

P.S: I've ever been to both Koenji and Kichijoji stores and I like the Koenji one better ;)

Look at that painting on the wall. Of course I have no choice besides loving this cafe.



The very cute little handmade and written menu

The waitress later took the birthday cake and cut them for us. 10/10 for the decoration!

What's unique about this cafe is that the interiors and outer look of the cafe are really small that will make you feel like a giant!

:D

Nikko Toshogu Shrine

Hello! It has been a month since my last post. Since I am entering my last summer break as a university student, I'm pretty much sure I'll blog more often from now on! 

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



So at the end of May, I went for a bus trip to Nikko. It was organized by the official international  community of my university. The price was very cheap but the only minus thing was that they divided us into groups randomly... 

I know nothing about the Japanese history but the Toshogu shrine was built for Tokugawa Ieyasu, a name which is familiar to all of you?
We were also very lucky to be there just right after the renovation was finished. The shrine is probably the most beautiful shrine I have ever visited so far! All the carvings, decorations, golds and the location itself are mesmerising. 

Spotted this pagoda before entering the shrine

The imaginary elephant. It said that the one who made it had never seen an elephant before. That explains how the elephant (right) looks a little bit weird.
