I had dreams of wrapping train tracks around my head, but didn’t get that far, but at least I can put on this tiny JR Rail conductor hat. . . . #trainspotter #trainstagram #trainsarecool #atrainsnaps #shinkansen🚄 #shinkansentrain #shinkansenadventures #the100dayproject #100daysofcreativitme #100dayproject #100days #365project #selfie #selfportrait #photomanip #photomanipulations

Hanging out.

A vintage tram car on the Tōkyū Setagaya line in Setagaya Prefecture. 🚃🇯🇵 In operation since 1938, this is now one of only two surviving tramways in Tokyo, as most trains are heavy rail and longer in length. It was a very cute ride. . swipe for me doing bad splits and the outside of the tram (will always gram a tram.) . . . #trains #tramway #lightrail #trainnerd #trainspotting #selfportait #tramgram #tram #vintagetrain #pastelfashion #solofemaletravel #setagaya #rollingstock #unifpastel #remonte #foamers #trainnerdess

Bag drop is a new experience
This is such a long fucking line

Tokyo, I’ll be back. I’ve never met a city that suits me quite like you do: fast trains, vibrant colors, extreme fashion, cosplay cafes, public dancing, big bikes, 24 hour karaoke, and cartoon cats to explain everything from banking to proper behavior in a shrine. We’re certainly not over. It’s been real.

Sorry not sorry I needed somewhere that took cards and had soy milk and wifi
Lordy
The purrfect place for me. . . . This shrine just outside central Tokyo in a quiet neighborhood is where the “lucky cat” legend originates. . A poor monk cared for his beautiful white cat like his child, and one day he asked his cat to help bring some fortune to the temple. After some time, some Samurai were passing the temple, hungry, and they saw a small white cat raising its paw. . They were intrigued so they stopped and stayed the night at the monk’s house. A storm came, the Samurai spent many days with the monk, and were driven to donate land to the temple making it large and profitable - land I stood on today. . An otherwise stern zen shrine, there are thousands of lucky cat statues clustered there donated by grateful temple devotees, and it is now known as the cat shrine. Lucky cats are thought to bring business and good fortune in. ... since my business IS cats, I thought I must have to go. so, I visited the cats, said some prayers, and took home an Omamori lucky cat which is said to bring me more business with its little white paw. . . . #gotokuji #gotokujitemple #catsofinstagram #cats #catshrine #shintoshrine #shintoism #wishes #catstatues #luckycat #luckycats #tokyotravel #setagaya #purrsonalfinance #catsofinsta #kittensofinstagram #setagayaward

Dropping off aaron — with aaronpk
Happy vernal equinox day from Tokyo. I’m awaiting cherry blossoms in japan and beckoning them forward with bright colors. The view from our balcony at @wiredhotel is incredible. . . . #vernalequinox #tokyo #traveltokyo #hotelsdotcom #pastelfashion #springfashion #sakura #traveler #spring #springinjapan #asakusa #tokyo

Sonic (pictured) burrowed inside my shirt. . . . #traveljapan #traveltokyo #hedgehog #hedgehogparadise #hedgehogsofinstagram #cuteoverload #asakusa #asakusatokyo

Planners are like Pokémon, gotta catch em all, right? (And there’s special Pokémon for different continents too...) . Japan has amazing planners. I am underbudget for food, Transit, and lodging but very over budget for planner supplies. I got three planners I have never seen in the states! Pretty stoked. Would you want a video walkthrough of these? . . . #planner #pashfam #washitape #tokyohaul #jibuntecho #jibun #plannernerd #planneraddict #plannercommunity

That awkward moment when you wore the same thing as your hotel room. . This was a fantastic indie 4-room art hotel @bnahotel where every room was done by a local artist, every detail down to the light switches. The artists get a portion of the proceeds from each stay. It was above an 6-seater bar in a very cute neighborhood called Koenji full of 6-seater bars and artists in Tokyo. I highly recommend them for a stay, was an excellent way to experience a less-seen alternative side of Tokyo. (Also the room was great!) matching outfit not required for stay. - once I have time to edit I will put a full tour up on my YouTube channel. . . . #travel #tokyo #arthotel #solofemaletravel #expedia #voyagin #stripes #chevron #aesthetic #tokyofashion #asos #youvimi #travelblogger #traveljapan #traveltokyo

More ramen! — with aaronpk
Need a break
My favorite economics nerdiness about this shrine is that all these barrels of sake are donated by Japanese sakemakers, who in turn the shrinekeepers pray for the health of the sake industry. (Yes that is all sake!) . . . #tokyo #traveltokyo #meijishrine #sake #sakebarrels #selfie #myself #selfportrait #pastelfashion #japan #traveljapan #traveler

Jetlag but make it fashion. Landed in Tokyo last night. . Not pictured: my laptop open and balanced precariously on the airport windowsill, trying and failing to upload a video on a tethered connection. . . . #travel #unifpastelmoto #travelgram #solofemaletravel #traveler #asia #airports
