Japan Day 3 = Phoenix Wright

Day 3 in Japan was mostly centered around seeing the musical version of the Phoenix Wright video game, but we did do other things. The show was at 2 PM so beforehand we walked around Akasaka, the area where our hotel was located. It was a really cute neighborhood with lots of little restaurants and shops. I loved this painted sewer sign...



And this pic which shows a store called "Bear Hug" and a fancy poodle going for a stroll...



I should do an entire food post because I took a picture of almost everything I ate in Japan. Food is just so cute there! Here was my lunch that day...



After lunch we headed to the theater. The subway station had this awesome light display on the stairs...



A huge crowd of people were gathered around the stage taking pictures of the banner...



I couldn't take any pictures during the show, but I must say that watching women dressed as men playing Japanese lawyers trying a case in California is highly entertaining...even if you don't understand what is going on.

After the show, we went to Shibuya, which lived up to all my expectations from The World Ends With You...



We followed the footprints...



But it still took us a while to find Hachiko...



I even got a pic with a fake commercialized version of the most loyal dog in the world...



For dinner we had sushi at one of those conveyor belt places which was full of hipsters...



We also visited the Tokyu Hands department store where we considered buying a language translation device for the poodles...



Finally we stopped by one branch of Mandarake...



Seriously Shibuya was one of my favorite places. I didn't feel quite cool enough to be there, but it was still amazing. I love areas full of energy, business, and activity.
