We usually do not celebrate Christmas out of Singapore as we always have a family gathering on that day. For a change this year, we extended our holidays in Japan past Christmas. We spent a few days in Tokyo and visited some new places. One of it is Daikanyama near Ebisu.

 On the map, the circled sector is Daikayama.

 Daikanyama is a gem because of its laidback and less crowded atmosphere.

 Saw these foot prints and they led us to this shop...

 ...that sells everything about cats. What a find!

Unique & luxury shops filled the streets, along with cafes & restaurants for the up market individuals. 

 How eco-friendly this building is, and it brings a touch of freshness.

 Other husbands bring bouquets home, my dear!

 A 'shoulder' to lean on.

 Outside a children special school.

 Beethoven & Phantom face-off.

 Beautiful Christmas lightings decorated the walkway.

If you prefer street shopping than department store like I do, you would like Daikanyama. There are many shops housed in low-rise building, and they sell mostly fashionable clothings & accessories. Even if you have nothing to buy, it is fun still to walk around this charming town. Sharon & I had a wonderful day here and enjoyed our Christmas in Tokyo.

And another travel trip awaiting....
