As some of you already know, i was in Kinugawa last week and whilst the trip was mainly for the onsens, i also got some sightseeing in.
One of the places i went
Tobu World Square
From Wikipedia
“Tobu World Square is a theme park in Kinugawa Onsen, Nikk?, Tochigi, Japan. The theme park boasts 42 exquisitely crafted 1:25 scale model of the most famous, UNESCO-designated World Cultural and Heritage Sites, completely with 140,000 1:25 miniature people.”
Tokyo Dome
Tokyo Tower
I have no idea why they feature an accident in the miniature of New York City
I took a million more photos but i was too lazy to process all of them XD If you look at the scenery behind it, you will notice it was gorgeous as well. I’ll post some scenery pics later as well as the onsens and other places i went. ^^
If you wish to visit this place, here is their website http://www.tobuws.co.jp/default_en.html
In other news, i picked up some new mags/mook at the bookstore lately
This month’s Steady comes with a Samantha Tiara card/oil blotter paper case as well as REALLY cute Rilakkuma calender. I am loving this rilakkuma dessert range, i will definetely be picking something up from them. Will write more and post scans soon.
In my last post, i posted 1 of the new Liz Lisa bags i bought, this is the 2nd one.
BabyPink was not in stock when i purchased it so i had to place it on order but now that i got it, i am uncertain if it really suits me XD Its the same size as a LV Speedy [small]. I have a LV speedy but its M sized.
And a bit of food porn, new kitkat..royal milk tea flavour.
Its true that there are a lot of flavours of kitkat in Japan but they are very limited and last maybe a month. Then..you may never find them again. XD You gotta eat it whilst it lasts haha.
I noticed a few new blog followers! Thank you all so much! Do feel free to drop me a comment with your blog so i can follow you back or at least visit you too <3 If you dont have a blog, say hi anyway ^^
And i will try to do a beauty related post next! Sorry for the recent lack of them XD!!!
XOXO Yumeko
EDIT:
And i do apologise for being so late in posting this but for those of you who are “you’re beautiful” korean drama fans, please check out C.N.Blue’s new mini album!
JungYongHwa aka Shinwoo in the drama is in a Japanese indies band named C.N.Blue and they have just put out their 2nd mini album named VOICE.
Those of you in Tokyo, C.N.Blue will be performing tomorrow at RUIDO K2 in Shibuya
The show starts at 6pm and tickets are 2500yen at the door.
Do note that since it is a livehouse event, there are a few other acts also performing so please keep that in mind when you turn up. They might not appear till a little later [i dont know the order of the acts]
Oh, I just adore that second Liz Lisa bag!! Soooo cute!! I hope you do a “what’s in my bag” post soon! Would love to see what you’re toting around. =)
I am totally going to have to visit my Sanseido Bookstore again to look for that issue of Steady – what a CUTE calendar!
And OMG I would love to visit that place one day! (And of course, all the real sites too so I can compare!) The replicas look incredible!! I love how there’s an accident in NYC LOL.
the miniature looks real! so pretty!
love the bag, it’s so pink! haha..
OMG, i hate that japan got to have so many Kit Kat flavours.
Adorable bag!!
You have wonderful taste ^_^
Oh my god, it’s an architecture student’s dream come true (although I’m not an architecture student anymore LOL). I love looking at scale models even if they’re just of houses that real estate companies sell!
That liz lisa bag is SO MUCH LOVE. Love love love. So much love. *speechless*
Also I was back at the bubble tea place and was like “I miss having our dinners here!”
Oh and I started a new fashion related blog, and put you on my link list, I hope that’s okay =)
My new blog is at http://fashionwaltz.blogspot.com

)) you pic quality is always good, what camera do you use?I saw some flavor kitkat here!! I almost couldnt believe my eyes @.@ but of course it’s nothing compare to the range available in japan ^^”
Hey! I’m a new follower of your blog, and can I just say, I love your taste regarding food, fashion, and everything in general
Your Liz Lisa bag is so cute too! I also really like the red one that you recently bought. ^____^
thanks for reading my blog ^^ whee its great that we have the same taste!!
The miniatures are amazing.
It is funny how they have an accident scene in the New York model.
mmmh milk tea kit kat sounds so delish.
before my food allergy my friend from tokyo sent me often kit kat special edition. i loved them so much because in germany you can buy only 3 or 4 sorts.
your liz lisa bag is also so pretty
i love it to read your blog and i’m kind of jealous because i can’t buy those things so easy in germany. but i save my money for october 2010 – then i will visit japan again and i want to spend lots of money there 
conny
maybe i’m getting the curler and one of the MUFE aqua eyes.
i saw that you got the set too, but i don’t think i can afford that all. so i’ll be satisfied with just one
Wow, those buildings are so detailed~! You can hardly tell they are miniatures, how cute^^
Steady always has really cute gifts, but their fashion doesn’t really match my style. I often buy it just for the gifts hehe!
I love that bag as well, it’s really pretty. I love the pearlized luster of the material. ^^
The bag is sweet! I like the stuff from Liz lisa, really pretty! and that kitkat…. i think royal milk tea sounds delicious… =D
How fun!! Cute bag!
this bag look abit too girly for me!
but im sure u can carry it off!
‘i love the previous bag more!
(since i have the fetish for BIG BAG! XD)
the miniatures are sooo darn cuteeeee!!!!! (^^)
ahhh u are like me! i like big bags more tooo!!
Kinugawa looks SO COOL. How long did it take you to get there from Tokyo? And your new Liz Lisa bag is gorgeous, I love the pink!The LE Kit Kat thing amuses/confuses me. I tried an Earl Grey tea flavour once, and while it did taste like Earl Grey, the aftertaste was really weird. Hopefully Royal Milk tea is better!
at first scan of this entry i almost thought you had gone to all those places yume! hahaha i was so shocked o_o; and it almost explained why you had been MIA, but after carefully reading the entry i realized xD though it WOULD had been great if you had gone to all those places in the short amount of time you have been “MIA”! LOL!
by the way… i was almost over my fangirl-ness over the drama and you had to go and post this… -_____-;
shinwooooo T_T
hahaha i couldnt possibly see it all in 4 days XD
u can never get over your fangirlness! its inbuilt in us hahah
u could’ve included pictures of the onsens too! haha, I’d kill for an hour in one right now, there’s nothing even close in the UK!
the bag is LUVLEY by the way ^ ^
oh, I decided to go for Cawaii magazine, let’s hope it’s a good issue!
haha i’ll do another post on the place soon!! ooh i hope its a good issue too!!
i generally read SCawaii [for an older crowd..say mid twenties?]
wow. they look so real! your pictures are always amazing!
oooh those miniatures are awesome!!!!! *__* Just how long does it take to make them? and are so realistic too! ^.^
Wow you just gave me a new place i want to visit when I come to Japan!
I want to go to Tobu World Square!! It looks really ineresting and fun!!
The miniature scenes look like Katamari stages! XD
oh katamari is soo addictive..i never started playing it though i hear stories abt it heee
Hello~
I really really like your blog, cosmetic reviews, EOTD and your travels and thoughts, very interesting! Also, I wonder what your mysterious job is! Haha. I lived in Japan for a year and went there 4 times total and also went to Korea, so I can see many places I also visited here, ??????. I also speak Japanese. 
I am a new visitor, I guess. ;D I am Magda, from Poland, 25.
Anyway, if you see a visitor from Warsaw, Poland, that`s me ^^
(I have a livehournal but it`s 100% friends only)
Oh my! Some of those pictures are really hard to tell that they are miniature models!! ahh, for some reason I really enjoy miniature models of things, especially if it’s miniature foods
The detail is amazing.
Mm I wish I could read Japanese, or Korean, then I could watch all those shows without reading subs
L.E. Kit Kat, that’s good marketing! Eat it now, or forever regret your decision!
milk tea kitkat ^o^ ha~ i want to try~
i love your liz lisa bag!! love the one in your previous post too.. i NEED a liz lisa bag! they are too cute~~ xx
WAAH! the structures look so real…i can’t exactly picture how big are they even though you told us the ratio…lol
Is that Kyoko Fukada on the steady cover? I love her <3 oh and i like this liz lisa bag even more than the last one!
Did you put this vid up for ME?! LOL! I LOVE YOU!!! I didn’t even know he was in a band! Jeez…! Yume you have to be my fangirl mentor! LOL! THank you so much though.. the vid brought a big smile to me!
Whoa those miniature look really realistic! LOL! Even the people! That is skillz!! And the bag is very cute!!
Why you gotta make me crave KitKats & I can’t have?! LOL! BUt that’s okay the C.N.Blue vid makes up for it!
ooohhh!
Milk tea flavored KitKat! Yummy~~
I love milk tea.
But I realize Japanese milk tea are quite bland compared to Hong Kong ones.
I have never been to Japan, so I can only compare the bottled ones to the Hong Kong cha chan teng ones.
Yumeko chan, you been to Hong Kong right?
Which one do you prefer? =))
the models are so detailed and realistic…. It must have been huge to be walking around and seeing all 42 sites hhahaahahaha… Somehow I never really loved Kitkat but now I think they’ve gotten heaps better with all sorts of flavours… Mmmm~~~~
LOL i bet wuzzy really enjoyed the vid you posted
Hi, love your stuffs, i just got a kitkat bar from Japan with green tea flavour.
A gift from our office pantry auntie.
I LOVE YOUR LIZ LISA BAG!! The color is perfect <3 I think the accident in the middle of the miniature NYC is kinda amusing lol, oh the Japanese sense of humour!
Is the Royal Milk Tea kit kat any good? I saw it at the japanese snack store the other day and am tempted to get a couple!
I love the kit kat flavors ^^ the one I am crazy for right now is the “Cookie Plus”. I need to try the royal milk tea!
Love the tobu world tour photos!
Beautiful photos :p Not related to your article, but I have a question ^^ is it true that you can’t enter an onsen in japan when you have a tatoo ?
i could never make or imagine that anyone would have the patience to make such works of art! I love it!
goodnesss those minatures look so cute! i wish i could go there too! i’m going to japan in march, but i don’t think i’m going there 2: hopefully next time~
& your new bag is lovelyyy <3 everything about it
royal milk tea kitkat?! totallly would love to try that! kitkat always has the most interesting flavours! i tried ramune last time, and it was surprisingly deeelish !
fabulous post as usual :]
i came across your site while looking for stuff about tokyo. i am going to try all the kit kats i can when i go! =)
lavvv your site, it gives me ideas of what to see/buy when i go.
Tobu World reminds me of miniature land in Taiwan! I hope you had a relaxing time at the onsens, I really wanna go onsen so bad >.<
I think that Liz Lisa bag is quite cute in pink! Then again…anything in pink is is good in my books xD. I don't like how the handles of LV bags change colour with use. The patina on my Speedy looks like an oily stain =.="
The bag look very cute and your pictures are very nice.
Have a great xmas
hi, thanks for your email!

Yumeko~~ I received your package, thank you so much! I love the brush roll <3
