Tech influencer iJustine has been documenting her adventures in Japan on Instagram, and her Day 4 post reveals a packed itinerary with a singular mission in mind: securing a hard-to-book shaved ice reservation in Tokyo.
Day 4 of iJustine’s Japan journey began in Hakone, where she enjoyed breakfast at her hotel while wearing a traditional yukata. The images show her embracing Japanese culture, donning the casual kimono that ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) often provide for guests during their stay.
After breakfast, iJustine boarded the “Romance Car,” a special express train that connects Hakone to Tokyo. The roughly one-hour journey brought her back to the bustling capital, where she collected another “eki stamp” – a souvenir stamp available at many Japanese train stations that travelers can collect in special books.
In her detailed Instagram post, iJustine mentioned that she discovered many of her activities through Instagram’s algorithm, specifically shouting out @japanlikealocal and their Japan guide, which she credited to @jerometraveller.
Back in Tokyo, iJustine’s day was filled with activities that she jokingly described as “just killing time” before her 6:30 PM shaved ice reservation. She grabbed a quick lunch from Lawson, one of Japan’s popular convenience store chains, including what she called an “egg sammy” that she seemed to enjoy.
The Tokyo Sky Tree was on her sightseeing agenda, where she made her way to the observation decks of one of the world’s tallest towers. Despite noting the “pretty long time” wait for elevators, she purchased tickets for both observation levels. “Worth it? Depends on your patience level 😂,” she wrote candidly about the experience.
She also stopped at the Meiji Shrine, one of Tokyo’s most important Shinto shrines, though she noted it was extremely crowded with visitors. “So. Many. People. 😵💫,” she commented about the popular tourist destination.
The highlight of iJustine’s day was clearly her 6:30 PM reservation at Azuki to Kouri (@azukitokouri), a specialty shaved ice shop that, according to her, “books up super quick!!” Her excitement was palpable as she shared multiple photos of the elaborate shaved ice desserts.
Her dessert feast included a strawberry shaved ice with “lil crispy sugar topping” and what appears to be a creatively presented potato version that featured “mashed potatoes in the center and chips on the top,” which she described as an “interesting combo.”
The shaved ice shop also served French toast that iJustine called “incredible,” admitting, “Yes, this was my dinner.”
What makes iJustine’s Japan travelogue engaging is how she mixes mainstream tourist destinations with specific food quests and spots she’s discovered through social media. Her Day 4 itinerary shows a blend of cultural immersion (wearing yukata), tourist highlights (Tokyo Sky Tree, Meiji Shrine), and food-focused adventures (the shaved ice reservation being the day’s centerpiece).
This latest update continues her documented Japan journey, which based on her previous posts included visits to the Mi Pig Cafe, Nintendo Store, and various ramen and sushi restaurants in earlier days. Her previous day in Hakone featured a tour with a guide, visits to Hakone Park to catch the last of the cherry blossoms, and trying black eggs boiled in the hot springs at Owakudani.
As a tech influencer with millions of followers across platforms, iJustine’s travel content reflects her detail-oriented approach. From collecting train station stamps to planning her day around a dessert reservation, her Japan trip showcases how she balances touristy activities with specific experiences that require insider knowledge or planning.
The post highlights how social media has transformed travel, with recommendations and must-visit spots now flowing through platforms like Instagram just as much as traditional travel guides – something iJustine explicitly acknowledges by crediting Instagram’s algorithm for helping her discover activities and locations.
With this being only Day 4 of her trip, followers can expect more detailed glimpses into her Japan adventures in the coming days, likely continuing her mix of cultural exploration, tech-influenced documentation, and food-focused quests that have characterized her journey so far.
