Japan Diaries: Day 20

Day 20 January 7, 2015

Tokyo Disneyland Day 3 & Shibuya


Good morning Japan! Today is the 3rd and final day of our Disney theme park adventure in Chiba Prefecture. Just a recap, we visited Tokyo Disneyland on our 1st day and Tokyo DisneySea on the next. Since there is no such place as Tokyo DisneySky (yet) we decided to return to one of the previous Disney theme parks that we have visited... and we chose to return to Tokyo Disneyland.

Back at Tokyo Disneyland

We spent the morning trying out attractions that we missed during our first visit. We also got the chance to retry some of the rides that we enjoyed. So here's what we did on our 3rd day:

Got to check out Tom Sawyer's Island

Feels like the Wild West...

...complete with a barrel bridge...

...and an old steamboat
Check out the waterfalls on that rock!

...and check out this wooden fort!

not to mention the nearby Indian tepees.

I got the chance to cross this bridge too!

What an adventure!

Before leaving Tokyo Disneyland, my wife and baby together with our Japanese family visited the nearby Starbucks branch and sipped our well-deserved coffee... not to mention I got to avail myself of one of my collections -the Tokyo City tumbler.

Starbucks Tokyo City Tumbler - My 2nd Tumbler in Japan!

Off to Shibuya!

After half a day in Tokyo Disneyland, Mr. Toshi decided to bring us to my wife's most requested place in Japan - the Hachiko Statue. It is located near Shibuya Crossing which is another famous landmark in Tokyo Prefecture. (Finally, we got to go to Tokyo Prefecture!)

This is it!

Where could you be Hachiko?

There you are! Finally, Team Nicerio visits the Hachiko Statue

Got to cross Shibuya Crossing! Sleepy Ella...


From there, we rode the train to Haneda Airport for our flight back to Kansai International Airport. Overall, our final day in Chiba and Tokyo Prefecture brought us to a sad realization that our vacation in Japan is almost over. 

Back to the plane bound for Osaka. Bye Tokyo!


When we got home to the Kameyama residence late that night, I had tried to stay awake for as long as I could. This is due to the fact that sleeping means that another day would be over. Eventually, I did fall asleep hoping at least that the upcoming days would still give us another opportunity to create more wonderful memories.

  19. I have been told by my Japanese friends that I should avoid Tokyo Disneyland in the weekends because the queue was really rather long and such a waste of time. I will be following their lead. Thanks for always sharing your adventures.

    1. The Express Pass will save you from the queue. However, it costs more.
