shopping trip: Carlo desperately needed a new pair of trousers, or two! We then made our way to Hanazono Shrine, a quiet retreat in the middle of bustling Shinjuku. And while you&#8217;re in Shinjuku, don&#8217;t miss a quick trip to the head of Godzilla. It sits on top of a hotel, a bit kitschy, but also pretty damn cool. Immediately afterwards, we marvelled at the famous 3D cat on a giant LED screen, an absolute eye-catcher that kept changing the scene with its movements.    <\/p><p>Later we went on to the Meiji Shrine, which is set in a beautiful wooded area. Here we waited patiently for our next goshuin \u2013 the ritual is part of the experience and makes the visit special. <\/p><p>In the evening we plunged back into the world of Ichiran ramen. The same magic as the day before, we just couldn&#8217;t get enough. Finally, we spent the evening strolling through Shinjuku, immersing ourselves in the narrow streets of Omoide Yokocho \u2013 full of little izakayas, fairy lights and the smell of delicious food.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef64705 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ef64705\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"0\">It was crazy!

breakfast at the Omnibus Caf\u00e9, where the atmosphere was really cool!

He was out with his kids, and although we didn&#8217;t speak to him, the moment was a small celebrity highlight. After this highlight, we continued on to Akihabara \u2013 a paradise for technology and manga fans. Loud, colourful, overwhelming, but absolutely fascinating.   <\/p><p>We ended the evening in the Yurakucho district.
