Yesterday I went to Tori no Ichi market at Hanazono shrine. The line was insane! The atmosphere was fun. I definitely will be going to a different shrine next year though.

Yesterday I stopped by Aoyama Itchome to see the Ginkos!
It’s been 10 years or so since I’ve been. Long ago it was a little busy. Yesterday the crowd was similar to Sakura on the Meguro River!

Late morning pick me up. Matcha so good that there is no bitterness at all, even a hint of sweetness. With one of my favourite snacks, Hakata Torimon.

It’s truly an honor to know @tiffanyrossdaleofficial. She’s turning her dreams into reality while giving a voice, inspiration, and hope to minorities across Japan. Watching her documentary #WeExist at the Shibuya Diversity Film Festival was such a proud and moving moment.
