Shinjuku Saturday...

Been planning this trip for a week...

Our destination... Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

"One of Tokyo's landmarks with an observatory on the 45th floor. Tokyo Tourist Information Center on the 1st floor of the Main Bldg. #1 is offering volunteer tours." - Tokyo Handy Guide.

But first... we need to find something to eat...
I did some research yesterday...
And actually found what I'm looking for...

Yoshinoya... Shinjuku branch... :)


鶏炭火焼丼 - Barbeque Chicken Bowl


After we had our lunch... we already left
to search for the TMG Building.

Here are some pictures along the way...

The NTT Do Co Mo building...
Do Co Mo - DO COmmunications for the MObile Network.


Wooden walkway...


Micro$oft Hotel Century Southern Tower...


Times Square Shopping Mall...


A Horrible Snowman...


What would you do if you see a huge monkey on the street?


After almost 30 minutes of walking and
taking pictures... Finally

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building...


TMG Main Office...


The "other" building of TMG...


One of the statues in the compound...


Also in the compound...


There are quite a number of people going in
and out of the building... some of them are
foreigners too.

Going up...


Here are some pictures take from above... :)


















There is actually a souvenir shop on the 45th floor
of building #1...


Hand puppet...


Some more shots...


And more...


Yep... that's mount Fuji straight ahead...


Some final shots of Tokyo...






My day won't be complete without...

Yoshinoya... Gotanda branch...


It's my 7th time to eat at Yoshinoya...
I even got a 50Yen discount from Yurakucho
branch last week...


Ate a beef bowl and followed by another pork
bowl... Need to stock for tomorrow morning... :)

Took me 2 hours to complete this entry... :|
