Photos - Day 6 - Tokyo

Tokyo Government Metropolitan Building > Lunch at Shinjuku > East Shinjuku > Hyatt Regency > Haneda Airport

View from Tokyo Government Metropolitan Building

Checked out of the Hyatt Regency, left our bags with the concierge as our flight only departs at 11pm, and walked 2 minutes to the building next door - the Tokyo Government Metropolitan. It was then a 55-second trip up the elevator to the observation deck on the 45th floor. Stunning views of Tokyo city! On a clear day you could even see majestic Mt Fuji in the horizon.
Looking down into Shinjuku Park.
Looking east and I spot the Tokyo Skytree in the background.
Restaurant, usually on the upper floors of department store buildings, have good deals for lunches and dinner. We climbed up to level 8... OK we took the elevator .... of the Palette building which is right next to the Odakyu building by Shinjuku station, and found this restaurant.
My set lunch of appetiser of pickled vegetables, pork, rice, sashimi and miso soup came to under ¥1,000.
Colourful billboards at busy intersectoin at East Shinjuku - the east side of the train station.
Two devils, with their tails, were roaming around in Shinjuku.
East Shinjuku.
Streets of East Shinjuku.
Walked back to Odakyu department store, and gave our legs a welcome rest at a cafe within the store. Pear tart and English Breakfast tea for me.
Strawberry cheesecake and floral tea.
Side streets of West Shinjuku at night when the colourful neon lights add to the atmosphere. We browsed through a few electronic stores and were amazing variety of mobile phones!
Took the limousine bus from the Hyatt to Haneda airport. This photo was taken from the outdoor observation deck at Haneda airport.
Goodbye Tokyo. Arigato gozaimasu. Hope to be back soon.
