I visited LUXIS Aqua Restaurant and Bar on my first night in Tokyo. I had a wonderful experience that I just couldn't wait to share!

LUXIS is just a short walk from Ebisu Station. Accessible by the JR Yamonote Line, JR Saikyo Line, JR Shonan Shinjuku Line and the Hibiya Subway Line.

Ebisu a very trendy area of Shibuya-ku where every night the streets come alive when people get together to visit the many animated restaurants and bars.

LUXIS formed its name by combining the two English words luxury and oasis. I do agree with the restaurant's name that these two words aptly describe the atmosphere and experience. The dim lighting, the large chairs as well as the delicious food make for a wonderful night. And I haven't even mentioned the best part yet!

LUXIS is home to an impressive aquarium filled with marine life and is the focal point of customer's luxury dining experience. I spent more time at this restaurant than one should because I was in awe. I loved chatting with friends and eating good quality food all while watching the turtles and fish swim around from where I was sitting. I must admit even though I am not a vegetarian, I could not bring myself to eat any meat or seafood.

The enjoyment continues with a trip to the restrooms. I've only ever been recommended by others to visit two restrooms in my life. One being in Harry Potter world and the other at a night club in Surfer's Paradise, Australia where there are ladies employed to do your hair and makeup and also a vanity cabinet filled with everything a girl may need on a night out from designer perfumes down to Band-Aids.

This restroom isn't quite as outrageous but it is definitely worth seeing! Although most people have heard of the hi-tech Japanese toilets there is more to discover in this restroom. When you walk in you are greeted by a beautiful Hollywood inspired powder room. Further along the hallway you reach the restroom which has its very own fish tank!

Dinner at LUXIS can range from ¥3,500 - ¥6,500pp (roughly $40AUD - $70AUD). For a map of the location and a look at the menu and packages available I found their website extremely helpful (and it's in English!)

Have you ever visited LUXIS? Or a similar restaurant? I would love to know about it.

An Introduction to Kirsten Leigh

Do you remember when you first finished your education and it was time to make the transition into the next stage of your life? 

Well that's where I am right now. After three intense years at Wollongong University I have graduated with a BA degree. While studying at university my major was Japanese and my minors were Spanish and Linguistics. Throughout my degree I have learnt about the origins, the uses and the debates over the English, Japanese and Spanish languages. I've also had the opportunity to learn about the history, culture and traditions of many different countries. 

I must admit I am scared to leave the comfort and safety of educational institutions. However, I am ready to move on. At the moment I don't know what I am going to do or where I want to end up. But I think not knowing is the most exciting part! The world is such a big place and I can't imagine all the possibilities that could be out there. All I know is that I can't wait to find out about them!

As a result of my love for learning new languages I developed a passion for travelling. So I have created this blog to share my experiences, to inspire others and to find similar blogs to learn from. 

I hope that you will follow me on this new journey. Until next post.
