"Oi Mik, get up!!" Russell
"Why is he, it's 8 o'clock. We're going to Meiji Jingu, if we don't wake up we'll stay." Rafael
"What's he sleepin' on, Cell?" Wisang
"I don't know, last night I could sleep anyway. You see, it's exchanged so I'm with Mikael, Wisang and Rafael, so as to avoid another storm." Russell
"Here let me wake him up." Michael said
He approached Mikael and shook Mikael's body.
"Ehhh. ehh what the hell is this?" Mikael
"Well, wake him up too." Rafael
"Wake up Mik, it's 8 o'clock. We're leaving for Meiji Jingu soon. As soon as you take a shower and get ready, we're ready to go all." Russell
"Oh my bad luck, you wait. I'm gonna take a shower first." Mikael said as he ran to the bathroom.
"Hadeh, so what now?" Rafael
"You're going to konbini?" Ayaka
"You can buy breakfast." Russell
"Well, I want to wear shoes first." Rafael
"Oi Mik, we're going to konbini. If you are finished, just follow it. Airbnb keys are on the table." Russell
"Oh, okay okay." Mikael said from the bathroom.
.
Meanwhile, when he arrived in Konbini, Russell and the others were looking for food for breakfast this morning.
"Buy what you are, Cell?" Wisang
"I bought two onigiri at most. One mentaiko same tuna mayo deh, and also I bought two more for the Mikael, cheap 1 150 Yen." Russell
"Oh, Hmm.. I'm like Shrimp Cutlet with Tartare Sauce Sandwich, it costs about 450 Yen." Wisang
"Can too. If you were, Mich?" Russell
"Hm.. I am also onigiri. Salmon with Ikura." Michael said
"What did Rafael buy?" Russell
"This is it." Said Rafael while bringing his breakfast, Bento Set.
"Buset bye." Wisang
"Bento Sets?! It's really expensive 1100 yen, if I want to buy a discount at night." Russell
"It's okay, I buy this once in a while." Rafael
"You're also a cell, if the night in konbini there is usually a bento discount." Wisang
"Are you buying sushi?" Russell
"Yes, I bought this. 250 Yen, Miko is also the same sushi." Ayaka
"Okay sip, let's pay it all now." Russell
"Wait a minute." Rafael
"Why?" Russell
"Drink not yet." Rafael
"Take it too." Russell
"I'll buy you all some green tea?" Rafael
"I'm just water, Raf." Wisang
"What's the matter with green tea?" Rafael
"I don't have a problem." Russell
"Yes, it's okay." Ayaka
"Okay, if that's 6 green tea equals 1 water." Rafael
"Udah all right, now let's go to the cashier." Russell
"Yoo." Rafael
.
After paying and exiting the konbini, from a distance Mikael is seen running towards them.
"Well that's Mikael." Rafael
"Hahh. I'm sorry I was so bad." Mikael
"What's wrong, the Airbnb door is locked, right?" Russell
"Udah, here's the key." Mikael
"okay, nice. Here, Mik. Mentaiko onigiri with tuna mayo onigiri. I'll deal with it." Russell
"Well, this is a spell." Mikael
"Judah we eat now, we have to stop at the station." Rafael
"Judah let's eat." Russell
.
.
.
After they finished eating their breakfast. Russel and his friends went straight to the station, they immediately bought tickets and headed for the train. In the car Russell was sitting with Mikael and asked about the incident this morning.
"So this morning why are you bad luck, Mik?" Russell
"Well, last night I had a nightmare." Mikael
"Couldn't you? What dreams?" Russell
"Somehow, I don't know for sure. The point in his dream was that there was a man who introduced himself as Kuro, and he took me hostage." Mikael
"Keep you made it out?" Russell
"I managed to escape, but Kuro said something in the dream." Mikael
"Say what?" Russell
"Well, I forgot he said what." Mikael
"Well, how are you doing now?" Russell
"Well, still a bit of a shock. I'm also getting less sleep." Mikael
"That means a great fit." Russell
"Why?" Mikael
"And now we want to go to Meiji Jingu temple, well it's good for relaxation, because the atmosphere is calm." Russell
"Yes, I wish I could be calmer later." Mikael
.
.
.
After passing the train for some time and getting off at the station, Russell and his friends took a taxi to go to the place they were going, it didn't take long for them to finally arrive at Meiji Jingu Shrine. Arriving there, they were immediately greeted with many trees that were very lush, but still beautiful.

.
"Where, Mik? Is it quieter?" Russell
"Well, calm down the atmosphere." Mikael
"Why is Mikael?" Wisang
"Says he had a nightmare last night, so yeah now he's relaxation first here." Russell
"It's good, it's suitable for relaxation here, because the atmosphere is supportive." Rafael
"Jaudah, let's go again." Russell
"Okay, come on." Rafael
.
After traveling around for some time, then they take pictures at spots that are cool enough to take pictures together. The next plan is that they will rest for a while, and then continue their tour to the Roppongi Hills area, Minato.
(Mohri Garden, by Wikipedia)
.
"We'll rest here for a while. Now it's 12 o'clock. Since Meiji Jingu Shrine is closed at 6pm, we need to move on to the next place." Rafael
"Okay, shall we go to Mohri Garden?" Russell
"Yes, we'll have lunch at Mohri Tower before, I'm afraid there's a good restaurant for sure." Rafael.
"Well, I'm sure." Mikael
"That sounds good." Wisang
"So I can't wait." Michael said
"Well, how about Miko with my confidence?" Russell
"That's okay, sure I'm good as well." Ayaka
"Okay, will we take a taxi?" Russell
"Yes, it's also from here." Rafael
"Sip, let's take a break now." Mikael
"Don't be late." Wisang
"Yes, yeah. Just calm down." Mikael
.
After feeling well-rested, Russell and his friend immediately went on their 2nd day tour trip. Taking a taxi, they went to Roppongi Hills, precisely to Mohri Garden and Mohri Tower. Because both tourist attractions are one of the most famous places when visiting the Roppongi area.
"Yosh, we're there." Russell
"OK on, come on." Russell
"I'm sure I haven't eaten in a long time." Mikael
"Let's go." Michael said
.
They immediately rushed to my surefire restaurant that Rafael recommended. Mikael and Michael look very enthusiastic at lunch this time. They ordered quality wagyu beef to eat.
"Our meal, this is delicious." Mikael
"Do you have any money, Mik?" Russell
"Ah- uh that's.." Mikael
"You don't have to worry about it, I'll pay half of it. It's our vacation anyway, so enjoy it the best." Rafael
"Thank you, Raf." Mikael
"It's good, it's good." Michael said
"Maybe it's relaxation, so calm their minds." Ayaka
"It could be either." Wisang
"Haha. could. Waduh, the food has come, let's eat first." Rafael
"Okay, this is grilled meat first." Russell
"It's about that Michael's the hotshot." Rafael
"Flat, leave it to me about my sure roast." Michael said
"Let me help, Mich." Mikael
"You two are as excited as they are." Ayaka
"Yes dong, this is important." Mikael
"Jaudah come on, roast first." Russell
"Ready.." Mikael and Michael
.
It didn't take long to finish that pretty fancy dish. After they were all full with the food they were served, they continued the original plan, which was to go to Mohri Garden.
"Hahh." Mikael
"Yes, always be sure of me." Michael said
"That's real, delicious. You can also recommend, Raf." Russell
"I saw in the culinary article earlier, it turned out to be really good food taste." Rafael
"Well, if I rate maybe 9/10." Wisang
"Well, is Miko full?" Russell
"The one.." Ayaka and Miko
"This is how we proceed to Mohri Garden.." Russell
"Yoo." Wisang
.
The atmosphere of Mohri Garden which has many shady trees makes the garden environment very beautiful makes a very comfortable sensation. Coupled with ponds and waterfalls that add tranquility.
"Today, it's really relaxing." Mikael
"I think so, too, really calm down." Russell
"Yeah, once we don't deal with enemies either." Wisang
"Because, now we have to enjoy this atmosphere." Rafael
"So don't want to go home.." Mikael
"Good, we want to continue to Skydeck in Mohri Tower. A view of the city in the afternoon." Rafael
"May we eat what we have for the night?" Russell
"Emmm.. I want to eat sashimi.." Ayaka
"Okay, sashimi." Russell
"Ehh.. Doesn't the other matter?" Ayaka
"I don't have a problem, I think I can." Mikael
"Yes, today's food is delicious." Wisang
"To close the day is okay." Michael said
"Do you mind, Miko?" Ayaka
"I-I'm coming with you." Miko
"Okay, that's why I'm trying to find a good restaurant again in the article." Rafael
"Call 5 o'clock what if we go to Skydeck now?" Russell
"Hmm can." Ayaka
"Lets goo." Wisang
.

Upon arrival at the Skydeck Mohri Tower, they were immediately amazed by the beautiful afternoon view of Tokyo

.
"Woah, the view is not inferior to Tokyo Skytree yesterday." Mikael
"Yup, cool here too." Wisang
"Liat, it's Tokyo Skytree (While pointing)." Russell
"Where?" Michael said
"Oh yeah, that's it." Ayaka
"It's cool, too, can see the view from here." Rafael
"As usual.." Michael said
"What?" Rafael
"Picture pictures, right?" Russell
"Rubber." Ayaka
"Okay, let's take a photo. The atmosphere is good." Mikael
"Yoo.." Wisang
.
After taking pictures for a long time, it started to get dark, and they started to get hungry.
"Laper is.." Mikael
"Either." Michael said
"It's late at night, so want to eat sashimi like the plan?" Russell
"I'm going to go." Wisang
"So there's a good restaurant recommendation, Raf?" Russell
"Oh there's this famous Izakaya restaurant in Mohri Tower. Wanna there?" Rafael
"Bole tuh. Come on, let's go." Russell
"Come, I'm laper." Mikael
"He was patient." Rafael
"Come on, walk." Michael said
.
.
.
It didn't take long, they arrived at the Izakaya restaurant Rafael recommended.
"Eat, it's a good place to have a chat." Mikael
"In Izakaya can pesen sake actually, but we change it to green tea only." Michael said
"Yes, sashimi equals green tea to close today." Russell
"Okay, I'll take the food first." Rafael
"It's really comfortable, Miko." Ayaka
"Yes." Yeah." Miko
.
After the food and drink they ordered had arrived, they did a *kanpai.
*Kanpai: Before meals, a drink glass toast will usually be made.
"Well, thank you for your hard work all day." Russell
"Let's eat now." Mikael
"Please, eat a lot." Rafael
"Good eat all." Ayaka
"Come on, eat it all." Wisang

Russell and his friends have a lot of exciting new experiences today, plus eating in Izakaya at the end of the day, they chat with each other, sharing experiences they have never told. Laugh together and introspect yourself together. It didn't feel like it was night, and they went back home to Airbnb to sleep and go through tomorrow.
