It has been some time since the last update, so here are some more photos of Tokyo's amazing streetscape.
Our next destination was to tour
Shinjuku
, which is the main office district in Tokyo and where many of the tallest skyscrapers are located. It's a super busy area during weekdays and the local train station is the busiest in the world with some 3.64 million daily passengers!!
Our walk took as to the
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
from 1991. At 243 meters of height, it is one of the tallest buildings in the city and has a free observation deck at the top!
Views from the top are simply fantastic with the city extending into the horizon.
The distinct
Park Hyatt Tokyo
hotel next door was prominently featured in the 2003 movie
Lost in Translation
with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.
While mostly a business district, our experience of Shinjuku was a very positive one and the free views are definitely worth the trip!
