If my home city of Melbourne, Australia had a long-lost twin in Japan, it would be Shimokitazawa!
In today’s vlog, I visited Tokyo’s ‘hipster town’, which is full of trendy cafes and vintage clothing stores (plus, an adorable bakery that make TOTORO-themed cream puffs! Yes, we know, I’m obsessed, etc. etc.).
I also caught up with Ken from MrKenDenis!! We went out for dinner and dessert and it was sooooo nice spending time together in Tokyo 💖
warning, i do a lot of eating in this video lol #wheninjapan
