Shinjuku

Today we started out in Shinjuku where we got our morning coffee.

From there we took the train to the Imperial Palace

Unfortunately it was closed (on a friday!). So back to the train it was.

Ginza

This time we emerged from the train in Ginza, a shopping district that reminds of 5th avenue in New York.

Hamarikyu Gardens

On the south side of Ginza is a park named Hamarikyu Gardens, where we ate our convenience-store bought lunch in a nice quiet environment.

Tsukiji Fish market

After a nice lunch in a park, we headed for the fish market.

Meiji Jingu

Actually we were just heading to a subway station, the fish market happened to be there :) The subway took us to Yoyogi, where we visited Meiji Jingu, a shrine.

Meiji Jingu is probably one of the most popular shrine/parks in Tokyo and it's pretty much always busy here.

Plenty of people were enjoying the weather and admiring the buildings, surrounded by lush greenery and a skyscraper or two.

The barrels below are used to store Sake, a Japanese liquor also known as rice wine.

More trains, this time to Shibuya for a picture of the famous crossing.

Shibuya

This is the famous crossing. All sides get the green light at the same time and the crossing fills with people.

The video below was shot on an ancient phone, sorry!

Omotesando

After "the freak show" as a local photographer called it, we headed for Omotesando. This is a district where top brands use the weirdest architecture to get customers.

With our feet becoming heavier by the minute we called it a day and headed back to the hotel on the metro.
