從台灣回到沖繩後的12小時，我們直衝機場飛東京！那時唯一計畫是到東京迪士尼海洋慶祝生日，連飯店也是坐飛機時才訂好。以下九個點是這次我們兩週東京行程，非常喜歡的地方：

Within 12 hours of getting back to Okinawa from Taiwan, we were on the plane again, this time to Tokyo. The only thing that we had planned for our 9 day trip to Tokyo was Disney Sea to celebrate my birthday. Below are nine places that we loved from our impromptu 2-week Tokyo trip.

茶亭羽當 Chatei Hatou

UN懂我，愛這種路旁小巷咖啡廳。雖然我不喝咖啡，但很愛研究煮咖啡（UN是我的白老鼠）。UN特別找了這店，是我們行李放下後能休息研究行程的地方。店裡每一樣東西我們都想試，唯一美中不足是裡面沒有禁菸，對煙味敏感的人比較不方便。

Even though I don’t drink coffee, I love brewing coffee for UN (he’s my guinea pig). UN knows that I am a sucker for hole-in-the-wall cafes, so he found this gem in Shibuya for us to recharge and plan our trip. We wanted to try everything on the menu. The only downside to this cafe is that it allows indoor smoking, and can be annoying to those who are sensitive to cigarette smoke.

河口湖 Kawaguchiko

能搭船、坐纜車看富士山。雖然那天雲層多，無法完整看到富士山，但自然美景永遠最美。下纜車後能在附近爬山，比起東京市區，我們更愛這，也希望明年能登富士山！提醒一下，週末建議搭火車。從東京市區出發的巴士通常因交通堵塞而誤點。

There are many options to view Mt. Fuji here, including taking a boat or a tram. It was a cloudy day, so we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji in its full glory, but we still were mesmerized by nature’s scenery. Once you get off the tram, there’s a short and easy hiking trail. We prefer the view from up here than that of the tall buildings in Tokyo city. Our hope is to climb Mt. Fuji next year. Tip: if you come here on the weekend or during holiday, take the train instead of the bus, so your trip doesn’t get delayed by traffic.

teamLab Borderless

如果你喜歡數位藝術，你會非常愛這裡！原本預計在這三小時，結果變成一整天。我們最愛溜滑梯和喝茶間，但記得要穿舒服鞋子，比較方便體驗。

A perfect place for digital art lovers! We had planned on being here for only 3 hours, turned out to be the whole day. Lost count of how many times we went on the slide here, and trust me, you will love it too! There is also a tea room where your drink comes to life and interacts with you. Remember to wear comfortable shoes to enhance your experience here.

箱根 Hakone

來箱根這幾天恰巧碰上颱風天，非常適合待在飯店裡泡溫泉。記得買燻製蛋，聽說吃一顆長七歲。從新宿到箱根，約一個半小時的火車，提早訂小田急浪漫特快列車，可以訂到第十節車廂第12排，有大窗戶看風景。另外買箱根優惠通票可以無限搭乘箱根巴士、海盜觀光船、纜車、箱根火車、電車等等的當地交通工具，方便在箱根探險，有些景點甚至免費入場或是有優惠。

A typhoon touched down in Tokyo the day we travelled to Hakone, which makes a perfect day for staying in our ryokan and enjoying unlimited hot spring. Must buy the hot spring eggs! Rumor has it that you extend your life by 7 years every egg you eat. From Shinjuku to Hakone takes about 1 1/2 hours on the train, don’t forget to book the Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar ahead of time, select seats in the observation deck (Carriage No. 10, row 12) for a panoramic view the entire way to Hakone. In addition, purchase Hakone Freepass for unlimited rides on local public transportation such as buses, trolleys, trains, tram, and pirate ship. Included in the Hakone Freepass are free or discounted admission to various attractions.

Sukiyabashi Jiro

首先感謝UN的生日驚喜，再來感謝Park Hyatt Tokyo幫我們訂到我生日當天的位置！很多朋友問我們感想，用好吃這詞太通俗。我詞彙不足無法完整解釋當下心情和經驗，但吃完這頓後，我們遲遲不敢吃壽司破壞我對這裡的印象！

UN surprised me Big Time on my birthday! Also shout out to Park Hyatt Tokyo for helping us find a reservation at Sukiyabashi Sushi Jiro on my birthday! Many of my friends asked me what I thought of the experience. My limited vocabulary makes it difficult to describe every emotion that I was experiencing at the moment. A part of me still feels like it was a dream. Let’s just say we couldn’t eat sushi the same way afterwards.

Tonkatsu Katsuzen

這樣說可能誇張點，但真的是我吃過最酥最嫩的炸豬排啦！這是UN堅持要來的店，也是我們用餐後決定以後來東京必吃的餐廳！老闆拜託你要記得我們，我們愛你（和你兒子）！

I may be exaggerating, but this is by far the juiciest tonkatsu that I have ever tasted! UN insisted on coming here, and we’ve decided to make this our must eat place when we come back to Tokyo. Please remember us chef! We love you (and your tonkatsu)!

Tsuta

拉麵是UN最愛的食物，愛的程度大概是每天早中晚都能吃拉麵吧！他們有排隊規定，但下午五點後則現場排隊。當晚盲從夫婦（我們啦）排隊約15分鐘，不算久！我的心得是，松露拉麵的湯頭會不會太香太好喝了！

If there’s anything UN can eat all day and every day, it’s ramen. Tsuta has a complicated ticketing system, but if you come after 5pm, you simply line up outside. We only waited for about 15 minutes in line before getting seated. Their soup base in Truffle ramen is beyond magical!

東京國立博物館 Tokyo National Museum

如果你只能選一家博物館，那就這裡吧！這裡就是紐約的大都會博物館，需要花一整天的時間也只能走馬看花。

If you have to pick just one museum to visit, this is it! It reminds me of The Met in NYC, you too can easily get lost here for a whole day.

東京迪士尼海洋 Tokyo Disneysea

雖然玩到牙齒痛，回來後開刀拔智齒，但這裡的食物就是好吃到必須忍痛吃！三眼怪麻糬、不同口味的爆米花、咖啡味果凍奶昔，食物種類多到你眼花撩亂。特別寫一篇東京迪士尼海洋，請讀。

Not even a toothache can stop me from enjoying all the delicious snacks here in DisneySea. Alien mochi, different flavors of popcorn, coffee jelly milkshake, and so much more that you won’t have time to finish eating them all, let alone go on the rides. Please refer to my post dedicated to DisneySea!

住宿| Accommodations

New Sanno

來日本之前已經有一堆軍眷們告訴我一定要來這裡住！美軍所屬，位在六本木一帶，價錢親民設備又好（房間寬廣、泳池很大、還有逛街的地方！）如果你是美軍相關人士，非常推薦！

Before coming to Japan, we have heard about New Sanno through various military forums! It is affiliated with US Military, conveniently located in Roppongi, affordable and yet high quality amenities (spacious room, large swimming pool, and has an Exchange!) If you are a member of the US Armed Forces, this place is highly recommended!

Hyatt Centric Ginza

這次最喜歡的飯店之一！UN進房後說這裡有家的感覺！銀座車站走路約三分鐘，非常方便。

This is one of our favorite places to stay at this trip! UN says it feels like home. A short three minute walk to Ginza station, very convenient.

Manatei Hakone

換上浴衣，開始泡溫泉。景色超美，有山有水，我們太愛箱根了！很喜歡他們有私人溫泉的房間。公車站距離飯店約10步。

Change into your bathrobe right away, and immerse yourself in the hot spring. The beautiful scenery makes you feel like you’re one with nature. We are in love with Hakone! They even have rooms with private hot spring. It’s merely steps away from the closest bus stop.

Hyatt Place Tokyo Bay

今年七月剛開幕，現在到十二月20號有訂一晚送一晚的優惠！飯店提供免費東京迪士尼接送，每20分鐘一班。房間非常寬敞舒適，最棒的是大廳旁有便利商店！

Grand opening in July, has “2nd Night Free” offer valid through 12/20/2019! Hotel has free shuttle to and from Tokyo Disney every 20 minutes. The rooms are spacious, and there’s even a Lawson convenient located inside the lobby!

Park Hyatt Tokyo

超美東京夜景陪你一起睡覺！泳池、健身房、餐廳、房間全都能看到一整片東京夜景！

Fall asleep and wake up to the magnificent Tokyo city view here! Equipped with luxurious swimming pool, fitness center, and fine dining.

十幾年過了，再次來到東京迪士尼！還記得那時我和我媽來，我媽怕高所以無法陪我坐刺激的遊樂設施。我媽為了彌補我失落到爆的心情，幫我和一堆迪士尼人偶合照要簽名，還買超多我到現在還留著的玩具、玩偶、餅乾（吃光餅乾留了鐵盒）。最搞笑的是我媽那時一直幫我和遊樂設施拍照，然後硬要我想像坐在上面很好玩的感覺（難怪UN說我想像力豐富）。

回歸正題，我們搭上東京迪士尼海洋九月十號換成萬聖節主題的第一天，可愛到讓我們在商品店買了一堆懷疑自己是不是太衝動（例如超大玩偶吊飾，還差點把最大隻Duffy帶回家）。

以為週間來比較不擁擠，完全錯誤！如果你有追蹤我的Instagram，盲從夫婦一直在排隊。好險票已在沖繩買好，不需在入口排隊買票，不然大熱天真的很不舒服。但為了吃光東京限定迪士尼食物，我們必須忍熱等。食物推出萬聖節限定設計，必須說東京迪士尼食物果然名不虛傳，好吃又可愛。好開心能在生日這週來玩，謝謝UN在我們的東京行程加入這驚喜。

P.S. 我好像要長智齒了！最後以牙齒痛吃不了收場。

10+ years later, I’m back in Tokyo Disney. When I came with my mom, because she was afraid of heights, we couldn’t go on most of the rides. To make up for my disappointment, she took many pictures of me with the characters and asked for their autographs. She also bought me many toys, plush toys, and cookies (the empty boxes I still keep). The funniest part is she would take pictures of me with the rides and asked me to imagine how fun it would be to go on them (maybe that’s why UN thinks I have very fantastic imagination!)

We arrived to Disneysea on the first day of their Halloween theme. The merchandise were so cute that I had an internal struggle with my compulsive buying behavior (almost took home a giant size Duffy).

We thought the park would be less busy on a Tuesday, we thought wrong! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw how many queues we stood in. Thank God we purchased the tickets back in Okinawa and avoided the line at the entrance ticket booth. That heat and humidity was trying, but in order to eat all the recommended Tokyo Disneysea exclusive snacks, we persevered through it. The Halloween special treats lived up to the hype, delicious and cute, definitely worth the wait. Very happy I could spend my birthday here, thanks UN for including this surprise as a part of our Tokyo trip.

P.S. I think my wisdom tooth is coming out! I had to stop eating because of the pain!
