Well, this trip wasn’t exactly what I expected. One thing, it was really really hot. Second, we didn’t get to go to all the places we want to go since we couldn’t find it. Still, it was an enjoyable trip. This is something I never done before. I would like to thanks once again Adun for taking me there. I have to remember next time when I go on a walk like this not to wear a black t-shirt since it was extremely hot. It was hotter then Tokyo…I was sweating so much because of the hot sun.

Well, this day began in a Mcdonald. I ordered this breakfast mcmuffin which I say it’s the big mac of breakfast here. I was alright I say. It was just breakfast anyways.

Well, took the train to Shimbashi then to Akihabara to meet up with Adun.

This is the track of the monorail I took to Shimbashi from Daiba.

Arrived in Akihabara in 30 minutes or so. Since my Hotel is 30 minutes by train to Akihabara…

I have no clue what this is, but it must be good to advertised here…

Morning in Akihabara. Not a lot of people here in the morning…

We took the subway to somewhere I have no clue about…I just let Aadun lead the way…on an one hour subway ride…

We arrive somewhere…

Get out of the station and it was blazing hot!!!!!! I didn’t noticed till I left, it was the train station of Lucky Star… I was pretty mad about not taking a picture of it!!!!!!

We tried looking for the Lucky Star school…this map is hard to read…

It was hot outside and I’m walking in this heat…I’m a Canadian otaku that is not used to this hot Japan weather…

After a long time of walking in this heat, we gave up on finding the school. We headed back to the station to go to our next stop.

Within a few stops we arrive at another station…

We begin to walk to our next destination…the extremely hot weather walk…

So quiet and peaceful here in this small like village…

Such peaceful view…

To find our destination, we just need to follow these signs…this means we are near!!!!!!

The power of Lucky Star!!!!!!!!!

A small restaurant advertising Lucky Star!!!!!!!

We found a store named after the Lucky Star character Shiraishi…this is what Lucky Star did to this place…made people renaming their shops…

I think I see it in the distance…….

The Hiiragi shrine… Such a classic view. You can see Adun in the picture taking his pictures…

This is the first time I’ve been to a shrine. I have to say it was an exciting experience.

A board filled with Lucky Star stuff!!!!!!

Here is the picture of the shrine without people in it…looks like the anime op…

Close up of the shrine/ temple entrance…

So peaceful…

We continued to go into the shrine grounds…

If you get a bad luck fortune…tie that fortune here…

Such a nice pond…

A this famous board wish thing… So many of them. I took many pictures of this. Most of which have Lucky Star drawings on. I took a ton of pictures of these and they are below. There are a lot of them since there are a lot of these boards there.

Konata!!!!!!!!!!

Some color ones are there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, Miyuki!!!!!!

Miyuki’s…..dotted eyes……

Yes, we love Kagami!!!!!!

Haruhi Konata!!!!!!!

Kagami and Tsukasa in spirit protects the shrine!!!!!!! and us otakus everywhere!!!!!!

Well, we pressed forward into the shrine…

More traditional buildings…

It’s so quiet here in the temple..

Before we enter the shrine. We need to cleanse our soul.

This picture shows it all and how it is done…

I saw a lot of these in this place…

So hot yet so relaxing…

I have no clue where this path goes to…

Such a peaceful place…

We got a wooden plate and wrote on it. We leave our mark on this shrine. My crappy drawing…I haven’t drawn in some time…so rusty…besides, I rushed it…

Adun left his mark and his site address.

I for sure left my mark here for good!!!!!!! I forgot to write “Lucky Will Live Forever!!!!!!!”

We saw a Konata bike on the way out…

Another bike covered with anime pictures…Kagami and Tsukasa are in it!!!!!!!

Well on the way out, we saw a few Itasha. They are really nice cars…here are a few pictures…

Nagi is in the car…keeping it safe until Hayate comes here…

A Peace@Pieces Itasha…

Such nice cars…

Vita on the car bumper…

You can tell this person is a big fan of Gunslinger Girls…

One of them in the car right now!!!!!

The sticker seems to stand out a lot…

Gunslinger on the front hood… These cars are so nice. What a great way to leave the shrine…

We left the shrine afterwards. So far, I was relaxed after visiting the shrine. I felt at peace after visiting a setting of Lucky Star…ah…

Waiting for the train to come. Not many trains come to this place. It took around 10 to 20 minute per train… If you do plan on coming here, be sure your ready waiting at the station for a while…

Well, next time if any of you bother to come out this far, be sure to head to Washinomiya and visit the shrine. It’s a really peaceful and good place to come by to even take a look. So much history behind that place…

Trains do take so long here…yawn…

Well, head back to Akihabara to meet up with some people. We headed to a couple of shops and I was able to aquire some goods. Well, at least I am able to purchase some doujinshi. There are so many, hard to pick. While my friend went into Touhou mode, look at Touhou CD’s and games and not caring for anything else… I had so much anime goodies that my hands hurt just holding them. I think I bought too much… After a few hours of shopping, we went for dinner at this place.

We had a very big meal. We basically ordered one of everything. As you can see, that arm belongs to Adun… Anyways, the meal was good. Thanks Adun for the meal…I’ll pay you back one day. Comiket is coming around in 48 hours or so. I can’t wait!!!!!!! It was a fun day I have to say!!!!!!!

Well, tomorrow, be hitting Akihabara again since I’ll be buying and shipping some goods home. Well, my Japan trip is almost over and Comiket and another visit to Akihabara is the only thing I want to go now. I’ll keep you all posted!!! Well, I have to go get some sleep for another big day in Tokyo!!!!!!
