Got to check out a coffee shop that is often used in commercials and J-drama...Roman.
Well, when I finally found it…ha!
I walked in one direction, then walked back, then crossed the street...
Was flip flopping between a parfait or hotcakes and in the end ordered their hotcakes with an iced coffee...880 yen (tax included)
The hotcakes weren't anything special, but I liked the vibe of this place.
My only peeve is that they allow smoking.
When I do go back, I hope they let me sit by the door like they did on this visit.
They have so many flowers.
And benches to sit on along the route...nice!
For that reason there are several large murals near the JR Takadanobaba station and the “music” you hear before the train leaves the station is the theme song of the “Astro Boy” anime.
There was also an area with azaleas but that wasn’t in bloom yet
Many people hanami-ing (flower viewing)

aside from the cherry blossoms, I love the camellia in full bloom like this. So pretty, even when they've fallen.
Also, all I remember about Takadanobaba was so many curry places as cheap meals catering to the Waseda students.

Our first trip to Japan we got to see the Cherry blossoms in full bloom and was hooked on Japan. One of the most beautiful site.
On the kitv news they reported about a new orchid that was discovered in Tokyo? It looked like delicate shaved ice. Did you hear about it?
I would'nt mind seeing that.
Happy Spring,

V, that is interesting, will look into the curry places :)
Bonny, I have not heard about the orchid, will look into this :) thanks for the heads up.
Take care you two.

Looks like the groups are doing some good distancing for their hanami Kat! Lovely photos!
omigarsh that camelia! I have one that I bought at discount say...4 years ago? still doing well but boy does it grow slow (from a 5-inch pot and now it's in an 8 liter container). look forward to the blooms ^-^
Definitely nice places to distance Kirk :)
Hoping your blooms will be soon Rowena!
Take care you two.
