Pachinko, hedgehog cafe and Elvis


Last day in Tokyo.
As a kid, Johannes was fascinated by Pachinkos. Finally he had a chance to experience one or two!

Wish me luck. 

The experience was horrendous. The noise was so loud that speaking or thinking was impossible. The Pachinko-machine only has one knob that is turned to a position and held there. The chosen knob-position determines the speed at which a ball is shot in to the machine once a second or so. You buy the balls and the establishment buys them back at quarter price if you're victorious.

This professional has won tens of kilograms of balls.
Loud!




While we were in Japan, Pokemon Go came out!




We rented an apartment in this building.

Next stop was Roppongi.

Aging meat another "shun" sold here. We didn't buy any.
You are banned from sliding from 8 pm to 8 am.


Roppongi shopping center. Johannes has seen the same spider statue in three different continents.

Big and loud.

The best thing in Roppongi was a hedgehog cafe! We didn't have a reservation, but got in anyway!

Very excited and a bit scared!


Also a bunny cafe was open for business.


It was actually not a cafe but a hedgehog shop. There was a possibility to prepare some tea for oneself but no-one felt like eating or drinking with the hedgehogs constantly weeing and pooping all over the place.












Genki, genki!


After hedgehogs, it was time for Elvises. At Yoyogi park, there's a weekly Elvis dancing club.

Elvises age like a good wine.





Someone was filming a music video in the park.



Double stroller for dogs.

Mario karts.



After two weeks in Japan, it was time to head to the airport!

Bye-bye, paddies.

Bye-bye, airport friends!
Farewell, Japan!
