trip to japan 2014 - day 1: ueno park & sakura frappucino.

after check-in & leave our luggages at kimi ryokan, we headed to the first stop in our day 1 itinerary - ueno park & ueno zoo! lol why zoo? cause tonbd wanna see panda, her ultimate fav animal (because of jun. k obviously) haha ok jk. it's.. just because.

we took JR train from JR ikebukuro station to JR ueno station, which is just 8 stations apart. and we went there with teshy's friend, mujigae-san. she is so nice, although it's a little bit hard to communicate (sometimes we even have to use google translate OTL) but.. whatever. hehe.

JR ueno station

the first thing we saw was starbucks ueno park! we were dying to try sakura latte/frappucino and yes finally we're able to taste it! i had sakura chocolate frappucino with strawberry flavor topping, tall size, for 510 yen. and it's really niceeeeeeeeee, the best frappucino i ever had in my life lol.

my sakura frappucino!



and there were sakura (or cherry blossom) trees outside starbucks too so we were a bit high and excited cause... it's sakuraaaaaaa. you can't see it in malaysia! lol. took a few pics then we headed to ueno zoo, which is also located in this ueno park.

ueno zoo's entrance fee is only 480 yen (~ rm 15.70) for foreign tourist! cheap is it? just show your passport :) i'm not really a big fan (?) or animal lovers but i enjoyed this zoo trip too (a bit~ lol) cause there's panda & polar bear! 


seeing the real panda for the first time in my life lol




then we back to stroll around ueno park again (when we're supposed to catch time and head to the next stop but this place is too breathtaking we can't leave this place too soon~ lol)


it's so beautiful i wanna be here again in.. spring? ㅠㅠ

this ojisan just use his umbrella with sponge attached to it, and a bucket of water to make an awesome floor art!
