Day 2 - Metropolitan Government Building No.1 - Shinjuku, Tokyo 東京

First stop yesterday was the snappily named Metropolitan Building No. 1 for the view of Tokyo.


When we finally got into the place after circling it searching for the rather understated entrance (it's a public holiday so the main, obvious, entrance was closed) we had a bag search and took a direct elevator to the 45th floor. The view was pretty awesome and to be honest the pictures we got don't really do it justice as they don't convey the sheer size of the city, nor the height we were taking the pics from.


Once we were done being impressed with Tokyo it was a back down to ground level for a quick bit of posing by a sculpture, some breakfast (Dave had burgers, I had five bowls of odd Japanese food with rice which was delicious).



Then it was on to The Electric Town - Akihabara...
