The statue was of a kappa! That was in Kappabashi, and a lot of the shops had kappas as logos, and there were some hidden in the architectural details. Same with Cat Street - there were sculpted cats all along the sides and roofs of the buildings.

DUDE that pizza! It was amazing - the little shop had thirteen seats and we waited outside for a space. It's called Savoy and they make two pizzas - one with cheese and one without cheese. No toppings. Just pizza.

well, what a cute kappa, indeed :)

I love the tradition, folklore and legends tokyo is steeped in. one of the many reasons why I'd LOVE to visit <3 one day.

I bet that pizza was the best pizza you've ever had! sumptuous :))

You're on IG? I'd like your link if you're willing to share..?

I didn't even know Google had a photo sharing section lol :P Of course that doesn't surprise me; I'm always slow on the uptake.

Wait - Coke with coffee? How was that?

Carl's Jr. - did you eat there? If so, did it taste any different than in the U.S.?

What a wonderful trip! Thanks so much for sharing these pics!

The Coke with coffee was pretty good. I don't drink much soda, so for me the coffee helped balance out what would otherwise be too much sweetness. I would definitely get those if they were available in the US. It was much better than an energy drink.

And we didn't actually go into Carl's Jr, LOL. When I travel I generally have a policy of "don't eat out at places you can visit at home." Although I might have gone to McDonald's if they'd had something unusual to offer. I did go to Starbuck's for a Christmas drink (Fox got strawberry Christmas cake, I got gingerbread) and a Tokyo mug, but we tried to keep it to places we'd only be able to visit in Japan.

I'm now following you on IG - thanks!

It's too bad those coffee Cokes aren't available here. I think they'd be good sellers.

I know what you mean. Even when I'm in another area, I don't like to visit the same places I'm familiar with, even though I'm not traveling overseas lol :P
I always hear that American fast food tastes different overseas.

Those Starbucks Christmas drinks sound yummy! Is S'bux as big a business there as here?
