Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku （東急プラザ表参道原宿店）

This Starbucks store is located on the 6th floor of

Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku,

a large-scale retail building that just opened this spring.

Not only is this store spanking new

but it also has all the works,

including the clover.

There's also a really neat screen from ceiling to floor

with a huge siren logo on it on one wall.

There are a couple of seating areas inside the store

so it's pretty spacious.

This store also has a bakery corner and

a special sandwich plate menu

which most stores don't have.

Pumpkin Vegetable Sandwich Plate

Chai Tea Latte

One corner of the store has a map drawn on the wall

of the surrounding area where the store is.

What's also nice about this store is that

it is connected onto a roof patio.

With all the trees and shade,

it's a great spot to relax in the middle of the city.

Fujikawa Service Area （富士川サービスエリア（下り線）店）

We stopped at another service area in Shizuoka Prefecture.

It's a really long prefecture and took forever to drive.

It had pretty wall art hanging outside.

And a rock with the name of the service area engraved on it.

Behind the store was a great view of

the river and the freeway that we were on.

We learned that this Starbucks store is super awesome

because you can actually see Mt Fuji from here!

Unfortunately though, when we were there

it was too cloudy below to see it.

Bummer.

But the view from the large windows

were impressive just the same.

EXPASA Ashigara Service Area （EXPASA足柄サービスエリア（下り線）店）

This is the Ashigara service area on the Tomei freeway.

My sister and I were heading down south

and we took a little break here on our roadtrip.

Shizuoka Prefecture is famous for Mt. Fuji.

Looks like they're really proud of it, too.

Tokorozawa Station Bldg （所沢ステーションビル店）

This is the newly renovated Starbucks store in Tokorozawa.

The whole station and station building was

under construction for over a year now

and the last time I was here

it was still a makeshift store just down the street.

But the new store is really spacious and pretty!

There were a lot of different sitting areas.

I really loved it because

it gave a sense of coziness to

wherever corner you were in.
