All You Can Cake

On Friday we had the day off because it was our university festival. We decided to go to a nearby part of Tokyo where there is good shopping and lots of restaurants because the festival is apparently better on the weekend.

On our way through a very noisy shopping centre with music blaring out everywhere we happened to stumble upon a shrine and graveyard just to one side.

As soon as we entered the gates into the area it became so peaceful.
I let my servant carry my shopping bags...
This is where you can wash your hands before you pray
I was going to pray but then decided I would rather take photos, especially as I had no 5 Yen coin which brings good luck.
There is no litter in Japan, I think it is all cleaned up by this guy,

Then we jumped back into the 21st century and found the restaurant. It was called Sweets Paradise. It was basically an all you can eat cake buffet where you have 70 minutes to stuff your face on spaghetti, Curry and loads of different cakes. I had 1 plate of proper food and 2 full of cake. Oishii. They also had lots of different tea so I had some nice ones which reminded me of home, although I do still like green tea.

Hungry?

They had all sorts of cake but the most interesting was Matcha Cake. Matcha is powdered green tea used in Tea Ceremony and the cake was very tasty.

Then the next day I woke up with the biggest food hangover where I felt both hungry and bursting full at the same time. It was so worth it though.
