My search continues

Remember my writing about my joy of finding a good coffee shop with lounge and a good view.

My new finding is another good coffee shop with lounge and a better view.

I have made a list of coffee shops in Tokyo, this one is one of them on my list. So when I visit the area again, I make sure that I will check it out.

Starbucks in Ueno Park. 

Due to being a Starbucks, this shop has all the good quality drinks and food. I had no worry about drinks and food, but I observed the shop, the design, the view in every corner… 

Wow Wow…

One angle has a view of a water fountain and Tokyo national Museum, 

 

At the entrance seats, the view is Ueno Park, beautiful with trees and open space.

The view in the back of the shop is a children playground surrounded with trees…

The location of the seats are clearly meant for coffee with a view. 

What a view!!

I enjoyed an afternoon coffee after finishing my busy schedule. It is a calming place, which you can easily forget that you are in one of the busiest cities in the world.

Cheers, with a good view

Tsum Tsums…

There comes another super cute Japanese invention…

Tsum Tsums… Tiny soft, stackable, collectible plushies…

I saw these babies at Disney store Tokyo.

 I really like the idea of small but cute characters all together as a group to build a pyramid on which you can see their faces. And more characters are coming…

Japanese people are masters of space management, I mean tidiness and cleanness without taking too much space...You easily notice that idea in tsumtsums… If you like you can collect every single one of the tsumtsums and they don’t take much of a place in your apartment …. The name is also coming from Japanese verb, Tsumu, meaning to stack, 積む

There is also stamps that you use for more tsumtsum-ness.

One more fact about tsum tsums that they have short movie adventures together… How cutie.

Here is one with sushi …

Cheers, tsum

Hiraku Doa

Please take notice to the doors

There are many signs for our safety in daily life. I always lived in big cities, day by day, the signs became less noticeable. .Some red, or black writing with highlighted letters or inscriptions with an exclamation mark.

It is like a reflex that everyone learned in life to be safe, and with that reflex I and probably other people stopped giving attention.

I was not paying much attention to Japanese signs, but they caught my attention, not with anxiety but with some smile.

These signs may be designed for children but make me happy.

 Please take care when the doors open. Hiraku Doa ni ki o tsuketene!

Happy and safe in Japan.

Cheers,

Ece
