Visiting Tokyo’s Life-Size Gundam With the Biggest Fan I Know
After thoroughly stuffing our faces at the Niku Fes with meat we headed over to the Diver City. In front of the mega shopping complex on the Tokyo bay stands a life size unicorn Gundam statue at 110 ft tall. (about 7 stories high)
We Came for the Wagyu and Left Obsessed With Strawberries on Sticks; Niku Fes Tokyo
This was honestly a big top pick for Justin. Niku Fes is a meat festival of the best beef in Japan, it happens during golden week.
The whole ticket system for the niku fes was a bit complicated but once we got it figured out we bought a couple normal grades, a few premiums, and two desserts ones. Justin had spotted those strawberries on sticks we had to try. We later found out they are called Tanghulu. Not only were they the so delicious, they were the most ripe strawberries I've had since I was a child doing u-pick back home.
For years I've had the terrace restaurant on my bucket list. The beautiful views and out of this world food and service I couldn't wait to see. The world renowned Mission hill winery right along the Okanagan lake is like stepping into a Italian winery. The terrace restaurant is built on two wings with an outdoor amphitheatre between, all overlooking the lake and the vines. Since Justin booked it, I wasn't really sure of the cost, until we sat down and the preplanned out 5 course meal boasted a price of over 150 per person. Needless to say we didn't do anything else for our anniversary a couple weeks later. Lol Have to say I would Definity go back and do a tour and tasting in the future.
