I'm here with my friends from Canada

They don't have YouTube but i'll link their instagrams (Do you have Instagram?)

And SnapChat

They're flight attendants and they have a layover in Tokyo for a couple days

So we're chilling in Harajuku right now

I really wanted to go to the shrine and get my fortune for the year

This is Meiji Shrine, and it's really busy because it's New Years

So I'm not really sure if we're going to be able to line up and get anything

But we can at least check it out and I can show it to you guys

So first we have to wash our hands and our mouth at this cleansing station here

See how she's washing her dirty mouth?

She wasn't joking?

No no, yeah you're supposed to yeah

Ok, let me just wash my dirty mouth

Hey it's not that crowded! I thought it was gonna be worse

That's true, most people are back at work

We're going to try and find the omikuji (fortunes) now

Maybe they're here? Where the people are lining up?

Or they could be buying the charms

Yeah I think these are the charms

Ok here's the crowd, I knew they were somewhere!

They're got it blocked off so you can't go up to the entrance of the shrine like you usually can

So everyone's throwing their coins and praying from behind the fence here

So here's all the good luck charms you can buy this year

Everyone's lining up to buy them

Over here you can write your wish on one of these wooden plaques and hang it up here

They're called "ema" and they sell them here for 1000 yen

Yay we found the omikuji!

The English ones are over...

Oh Japanese is fine!

So you shake the box until one of the sticks comes out

I think it says 26

Yes it's number 26

and then the number is on the end of the stick

Ok let's see! I have the worst luck

It doesn't say if it's lucky or not

Regardless of what path you take, some of them will be difficult and others won't

No matter which path you take, take the righteous path

No matter how much you might suffer

It's not saying you're gonna suffer but

having a strong will, you will persevere sort of thing

Sounds good

So these omikuji are different than other ones

The ones at Meiji Shrine, they're kinda like advice

that you just keep with you at all times

It's not really a lucky or not lucky kinda thing

It's just giving you life advice

So that's interesting, I've never had one of these before

Omikuji!

They also have english ones!

This poem is composed in the traditional 31 syllable form

by either the Emperor Meiji, or the Empress Shoken

The poem's message will have particular meaning for you

I think yours is too, but they're all different

I feel like yours is mine!

You got the English translation of mine!

That's so weird!

Here you go guys, if you want to know what mine meant here is the English translation!

They're doing the food stands! I didn't know they had that here

I thought it was all over with, that's awesome!

So we have some fried foods here

Yakitori it looks like? Oh motsu, motsu (innards)

Oh there's so many people here!

Yay! Let's eat!

They look so good!

Should we go sit on the stairs?

This is good? It's not bad

It looks so good

They're always so hot though

That's the thing, they're like hot pockets

Yeah the inside is like burning

These are smaller ones though, I don't like the fish flakes

That's like the best part! I love them

I'll have your fish flakes girl

It's so good

They're not super hot either

Don't mind me

This is the best one

It's time to adventure through Takeshita Street

We're gonna go to Daiso

These are so cute. I'll get that

I'll get this red one

That should be good, that should be fine

Those are so good, I love those so much

The thing is if I buy that, I'll never be able to figure this out

Just look at the picture!

Fry onions, fry meat, add the sauce. DONE.

What kind of meat?

Any kind of meat

Too complicated

Oh the panda ones, yeah

These are new though! Rocket Pudding?

And they're cute

Oh here we go! Milk tea, Royal Milk Tea

This is just for 3 cups though

But I guess that's not bad for like a buck?

It's not too busy tonight, I thought it was gonna be worse

This is the Liz Lisa store for all your Liz Lisa fans

That's so cute!

French Dressing? What the...

Oh that's so cute!!

How much is it?

Is this guys? How can you tell

Uhhh this section is usually girls

That's nice

But if it was in black

I've been looking at this pink one every time I come in here

I'm totally in love with this type of thing

How much is this? 4000. Yeah $40

They're crocheted

Those are so random

You want a pair!

Look at these

Oh those are cute

I'm obsessed with this necklace

This one, isn't it cute!

We came to get some ramen, and look! They have a vegetarian one!

Doesn't include any animal products or extracts

All of it are made from vegetables

That's really rare, so that's cool!

I'll put all the information for the shop down below so you guys can find this place if you want

Cheers!!

Thank you!

Yay! Veggie ramen!

Check it out! Is that tofu???

I hope so! Bonus

And I got a soft boiled egg

and pickled bamboo

And Dario got the Tonkotsu Miso

With all the toppings

It's got mentaiko, pork, bamboo, some more meat, and the soft boiled egg

I'm so excited!!

Mmmm! It's really good!

This is so good

It's not heavy at all because the soup is salt based

So it's not a creamy oily soup like regular ramen

So that's nice

It's got lots of veggies in it! There's spinach in it and green onions

This is really good

Look it has even got fake tofu meat in it

I think this is the first time I've seen soy meat in Japan

It looks like real meat

It does right? It's like stringy

Ew like, fibrous

Weirddd

So this is the name of the place, it's called Kyushu Jangara

and it's right by Harajuku Station

This is Harajuku Station right over here

If you come out of the station and go down the Omotesando exit

It's just around the corner, so it's really easy to find

Omgggg

Should we get these?

How much are they?

Can't wear a t-shirt though, it's so cold

They're only 2300 yen! ($20)

That's so cheap, yeah

What's the biggest size?

Ok I gotta get one

Yeah why are they so small

This is a small, and this is an extra-small

That's a medium?

I feel like the medium would fit me, do they have anything bigger?

Do you have extra large?

What's the biggest size?

No sorry

Does that say "normal fag"?? What???

What the hell

What is that, what does that even mean

What even

"You have room for 20 more items" like in a video game

That's so cool I love that, this store has really cute stuff

Welcome to the most awesome Starbucks in Japan

This is the Tokyo Plaza Starbucks in Harajuku

It's all lit up, we're on the roof of the building

Isn't it good?
