I checked in at Haneda Airport / 大田区 / 東京都 / JP

lol i guess people started lining up to check in a while ago because the line is SO long. not sure i’d ever fly Hawaiian again after this trip. their planes don’t even have wifi

got suckered into buying some sakura green tea in the shopping mall just outside of Haneda because a nice lady stopped me with a sample cup and it was delicious 🌸🍵🌸

I checked in at 茶寮 伊藤園 / 大田区 / 東京都 / JP

i just think it’s really cool how Hawaiian Airlines doesn’t let you check into flights that depart from abroad in their app or on the web and force you to do it in the lovely, not-at-all-stressful environment of the airport 🙂‍↔️

I checked in at Blue Bottle Coffee Hiroo Cafe / Shibuya / Tokyo / JP

I checked in at Meguro River Cherry Blossoms / Meguro / Tokyo / JP

they’re still not all open yet… but i’ll take a partial bloom over nothing. and i made it in time for the festival!!

The Meguro River all lit up at night from the middle of a bridge, lined with partially blooming cherry trees
The same view of Meguro River from slightly further back, just enough so that my hand is visible, holding a tall glass of sparkling Rosé on the bridge’s bannister

decided to walk the river again and see how the blossoms are progressing but it started to rain lightly. checked my phone, “light rain for 30 minutes”. okay, i’ll just shower before. i get out of the shower, and now it’s pouring. checked my phone, “thunderstorm warning, rain for the next 2 hours” 🙃
