On my way to Hokkaido for a snowboarding trip with Arturo, I had 24H in Tokyo:

bye SFO

hello Tokyo

Once in Haneda, I checked in my snowboard for my trip to Sapporo the next day, which was a bit of a hassle but saved me from carrying the bulky bag across Tokyo.

missed out on a cheap haircut :)

I decided to base myself in Shinjuku for that short time, because fun things:

Did a quick hop to Harajuku:

Harajuku is known for a special kind of fashion

After that, I went to a language exchange café to chat with locals:

And went out for dinner:

hahaha, can't argue with that

yum

The next morning, went back to Harajuku and Meiji Jingu:

Quick Cat café on the way :)

Quick stop by Shibuya crossing, because why not :)

also lunch :)

had to pick up a custom japanese toy to bring back

And then it was time to go back to Haneda for my flight to Hokkaido to go snowboarding
