Shibuya

The staff were attentive and friendly, the seating was spacious and comfortable, and the meat and other food items were fresh; the meat quality was excellent value for money.

The self-service ticket kiosks are easy to use, but after getting the ticket, I didn't know where to go to reserve my seat. After entering the platform, I asked a station staff member and found out that I needed to swipe my ticket again and operate the machine to reserve my seat.

I made jeans with my daughter here. It was a very fun experience getting to pick out the button, rivets, and patches. You put the metal parts on yourself, but someone sews the patch(es) on. The lady assisting us was incredibly kind and helpful and very positive and encouraging. The only downside is the jean selection is a little limited for those not an "average" size. I am a US size 6 and 5'11". Only one style of unisex jeans fit me because others were too short, even in the tall lenth. And note I still had to go up a couple inches in waist size to what I wear normally and am considered a size large here. Just sharing as this definitely would not be an experience for even borderline plus size or probably even not for smaller very curvy girls. Jeans fit my 5'7" not curvy teenage daughter very well.

For Japanese people who use the Toyoko Line One Day Pass on a daily basis, I highly recommend purchasing this pass if you want to use up points. The only drawback is that you can only exchange it at Shibuya Station, but it's a great system.

The weather was good and we could see Mount Fuji, although it was not very clear. We walked around it twice, once upstairs and once downstairs, and had some snacks.
