Mizobata Junpei, "My Work is My Love"
30th November 2011
On the 29th, actor Mizobata Junpei (22) attended the PR event for FOX's drama 'Terra Nova - Future Genesis' in Tokyo. He is a big fan of Steven Spielberg's science fiction works. His favourite is 'Back to the Future'. "If I ever get to work with Director Spielberg, a weak character in a comedic role would be great," he said. This year, he'll be busy with work even during the Christmas period. "I don't have that special someone. Maybe next time when my work schedule is more flexible."

Day 12
From Shin-Osaka, back to Tokyo
From our hotel, we took our maiden taxi ride to Shin-Osaka Station. We asked the hotel receptionist how much it'd cost, and she assured us that it's definitely less than 1500Y. She called the cab for us and in the end we paid 1060Y for a smooth and comfortable journey.
You can get last minute souvenirs on the platform.
Bought a bento in the train. 1100Y, similar prices to those in the stations. I love how everything is just so neat!
Got a glimpse of Mount Fuji :-)
Back in Tokyo, we were headed for Shinjuku Washington Hotel.
BE WARNED!! They say the hotel is 8 mins from the station. Probably 8 mins if you're brisk walking without carrying anything. It's a direct underground passage, but with turns and OMG stairs. If you're carrying huge luggages like we were, be prepared to work those muscles.
We finally made it to the hotel and checked in. This hotel is just... we don't recommend it. People were queuing up to check in, receptionists weren't efficient. So if you have a choice, stay somewhere else.
View from our room.
After resting, out to Tokyo Station to shop and have dinner.
950Y
1250Y

Japan Trip 2010
Day 11
Todai-ji Temple, Nara
What's in Nara? Deers!
Todai-ji Temple (entrance 500Y).
Worth the trip and admission fee, the temple itself was such a sight. And sunset means dinner!
Dinner was at a really interesting place, made for train enthusiasts. Can't recall where exactly, but it's within walking distance from the temple. We had 2 meals for 2650Y, and there's free flow of drinks.
The entrance (there's a few dining options in the enclosed area):
Inside:
After dinner, shopping at Namba Walk. Lastly, dessert!
Pudding Parfait (780Y)
Matcha Parfait (730Y)
