@fancynancista's Review of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Tokyo

I am now in Tokyo. It feels so great to be back because out of all the countries I visited in Asia, Japan is my absolute favorite. For my first few days, I've just been relaxing and having delicious food, which I will share with you guys later. Yesterday was finally a warm day and my first full day of doing things. I started off this beautiful day visiting the Shinjuku Gyoion National Garden. It costs 500 yen, which is about $3.71 USD to enter. The garden is absolutely stunning, guys, and it's totally worth a visit if you're ever visiting. Hoping to catch the cherry blossoms, but I guess I was a little too late because all of it has fallen to the ground. After the garden, I decided to walk 45 minutes to try out this latte art cafe I've been seeing everywhere on TikTok. To find out that it was a two-hour wait, which I definitely did not do. After all that walking, I was super hungry and found a super intimate sushi place nearby. The restaurant, very small, as you can see, I was literally touching the people next to me. I love this type of experience. Here in Japan, you get the best and freshest sushi no matter where you go, and it's such a great deal. At this place, they offered lunch sets and the one I chose was only 14.50 yen, which is $11 USD for 8 pieces, 3 rolls, and miso soup. Such a steal. Again, I was super happy and satisfied. I had to keep walking and ended up in the Meiji Shrine. Bought myself a poem, which is 100 yen. Bought me a good fortune amulet, which costs 1,000 yen. Then walked back to my hotel, grabbed dinner at Gukatsu with a friend, and called... tonight i'll see you guys in the next one
