Tree House Cafe: Les Grands Arbres

Back to doing another post on my Tokyo trip. I still have so many pictures to go through and edit as well as video footage I have recorded. Still have soooo many things that I haven't blogged about yet that I think it will take me over a year to blog about them, lol. By that time, I'll probably be back in Japan again for the second time. I have plans to go back with a friend again in February 2016 for the snow sculpture festival in Hokkaido. We originally planned to go this year but I got a bit busy with work and couldn't take time off so we decided to aim to go again next year. So I'm hoping that it'll actually happen and if it does, I want to go to more places in Japan. I'd probably stay a few days in Tokyo, 1 day in Yokohama, 2 days in Hakone and a few days in Hokkaido. So all in all, I'll be going to 4 different cities in Japan on one trip. It'll be amazing if I can hit all 4 cities in one trip. My friend and I really want to go to Hakone for the hot spring resort experience. =D

Anyway, back to the topic for this post. While during my trip to Tokyo, I got to visit this famous and magical tree house cafe that I saw from an episode on the Japanese variety show "Generation Tengoku" co-hosted by Yamapi. I fell in love with the place the first time I saw it and I told myself that I have to go there. Though finding out how to get there was a problem but then thanks to my awesome research skills (no really, I'm pretty good at finding info on Japan and how get around to places, lol) I found a blog with directions and the address on how to get to the place and it was just that simple!













My friend and I went to the cafe at around 2pm and it was actually the BEST timing to go. Because close to about 4pm, the cafe actually lid up with beautiful lights surrounding the outside of the cafe and it was such a magical and romantic view! I didn't know that they had lights and it was a total surprise to me and I absolutely loved it!  It was just pure luck and coincidence that I happened to see this and it totally made my trip there more worthwhile because I go to take pictures of the cafe both during the day and evening! =D I'd highly recommend you to do the same if you ever visit the cafe to enjoy it with full experience like I did. And in case you did not know, it actually gets dark pretty early in Japan. At about 4pm the sun would start setting and by 5pm the city is already dark. I was actually quite surprised by this fact when I was in Japan because I thought it would get dark much later like after 7pm or so. So just a little traveling tip, if you plan to visit Japan (especially during the fall) and want to explore places during the day, make sure you head out early to catch the daylight.
