Family trip to Tokyo for a week after visit to Taiwan
Met with some friends for the visit
Interesting themed restaurant: "Kawaii Monsters Cafe"
Sanrio Puroland, an indoor theme park featuring all the different Sanrio characters (Hello Kitty, Gudetama, etc)
Candy shop in Harajuku
Meiji Shrine near Harajuku
As it was explained to us, these are dolls/toys donated to the temple for a kind of funeral ritual. They are all burned and their spirits released... or something like that.
Yep!
