Japan Tokyo Gotemba Trip Day 3 - Shinjuku Incident

Welcome to Shinjuku Station.

There is no special incident happen in Shinjuku. (Nor any Jacky Chan movie here). Just one of the day that I spent in Shinjuku. :"P Anyway, We started our day departing the metropolitan office via the JR Shinjuku Station. (It has the average of ~3 million people using this station per day - What a great number there ~:|) Anyway, I guess we are lucky that there is not much people when we reached there.

More photos after the jump...

Our first destination is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office (Tocho). It has a observation hall on every 45th level of the building. (So you could view the city view from up there). :) - the admission fee is free. ;)

Near the compound of the Metropolitan Office

Yeah, there are other visitors at the basement as well. :)

The density of the city is just... incredible... :)

Yeah an old couples is enjoying the city view here. :) Just lovely.

There is also some tourist information counter under the building. There are a lot of figures display in there which has been well made. I will say that the detail is very very nice. (I pretty much captured everyone of it :"P)

Our next stop, is the Harajuku. A fashion capital of the world renowned for unique street fashion. Many prominent designers and fashion ideas have sprung from Harajuku and incorporated themselves into other fashions throughout the world.Yeah you could even find hip hop clothing there as well. (Not to mentioned that there is a lot of ladies and guys in their cos-play costume as well) ;)

Our final stop of the day is Shibuya. One of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area. Yeah, you could find a lot and a lot of fashion shops here and there and not to mentioned that the whole city is lighted up with neon light. I just love the city feel and gives there. But you will need to get use to the high flow and density of the peoples there.
