Shinjuku, the weird and the wonderful
So for the first week we were in Japan, we stayed in Shinjuku and had all our trips radiate out from there. I'm going to give you the highlighted tour of what we did in Shinjuku first though, as we did so many things and had to skip so many others due to time constraints, but it was a wonderful mishmash of places that we all loved. First up, The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building . Boasting some of the best views in Shinjuku this was a pretty amazing observation deck and it was... FREE! (everyone loves free!) From the dizzying heights of the 43rd floor you can see most of Tokyo. On a clear day you can see Mount Fuji as well! (Not that we were that lucky) There are these lovely little grey-haired Japanese ladies who will point out all the major parts of the city for you in near perfect english. It was well worth the 15 minute wait to get in (by the time we left the line was 3 times as long) I'm going to give a little bit of advice here that may help if you are no...
