The Beauty of Venus Fort

Last week, I went to Venus Fort mall in Odaiba with my friend. We had an event nearby and had lunch there after we finished. I really love Venus Fort mall’s aesthetic inside, which is like a European style buildings. I took a picture of the wonderful fountain complemented with the sky-painted roof. The spot is a famous tourist area since I also saw a bunch of foreigners taking pictures there. This mall is very recommended if you want to take instagrammable pictures! Actually, when we were inside the mall, the weather outside was really stormy. We could not even start heading home, so we spent several hours wandering around the mall, which was super nice.

Enoshima Island

Two weeks ago, I went to Kamakura and Enoshima Island with my friend for the first time. Since we live in Tokyo metropolitan area, we rarely see the beach or any other natural landscapes. It was a very refreshing moment. To go to the island, we had to walk for about 20 minutes from the station, but it didn’t feel tiring at all as we can enjoy the seaside throughout the road. The sea breeze was also chilling with a “just right” temperature. On the island itself, there are various attractions that tourists can try. One of them is the Sea Candle, which is a sightseeing spot to view the landscape of Enoshima from above. We spent the evening there while watching sunset.

Pillow of Sweetness

My friend introduced me to a delicious pancake menu in a cafe at Ikebukuro Japan. Recently, the cafe named Espresso D Works was circulating in social media trends, like Instagram and Twitter. We ordered their limited edition menu, which was a chocolate and strawberry combination. Although it was a bit pricey, the taste is completely worth it. Not only the sweetness and freshness of the strawberry and cream were at best, the texture of the pancake was also sending us to the clouds - as they call it in Japanese, ふわふわ fuwa fuwa.
