On top of the Metropolitan Government building

After a good night sleep we start our day with a visit to the Shinjuku area. Our goal here is the Metropolitan Government Building where you can climb for free to one of the top floors for a panoramic view of the area. The walk to it is quite interesting with an underground walkway complete with moving sidewalks while on the surface there are multiple skscrappers including some which are almost a work of art.

The view from the top of the building is great but it is very popular so it is difficult to catch a free spot near the windows and for that matter you also have to wait a bit both to go up and down with the elevators.

But we manage to nap a spot at almost every window in the end and enjoy the great views before finally descending back to earth.

After our visit to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building we are quite hungry already so we search for an open restaurant which proves to be a challenge on a Sunday in a business area. Finally we find an open one in an underground passage with no English speakers but using the pictures in the menu we convey our intentions and the food is quite good and we leave satiated.
