We slept in again today and by the time we had breakfast it was around 10am and it was the perfect train time, read: not too packed.
First stop for the day was back to Shinjuku and up the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office building. There is an observation deck on the 45th floor of this building that is free to get to and you get great views of Tokyo. Today we had a beautiful clear shot of Mt Fuji with his snow capped tip. This observation deck is so much better than the Skytree and I really regret bothering to spend our money on the Skytree at all. Not to worry.
After the Metropolitan Office we walked to another part of Shinjuku that was about 2km away and visited the Square Enix cafe. Last time when we came Shannon bought heaps of gaming figurines and the like. Today we only bought a few small things each and then had a parfait and coffee each which were both delicious!
After that we took the subway to Harajuku to browse through the shops and trendy artsy streets. Although we didn't end up buying too much we enjoyed the walk and also stopped for a late lunch of ramen.
Shannon's feet were really sore by this point due to his crappy shoes so we made our way back to the hostel at around 3:30pm where we stayed for a rest for a few hours.
We headed out for dinner at CoCoIchiban which was one of our favourites from last time. I was very full afterwards and we tried to walk it off by strolling through some shops and playing some games in the arcades. I bought a cute headband and Shannon bought some new shoes which he changed into straight away.
We had a hot chocolate in the hostel cafe before bed and we are now settling down to a movie on the iPad. I have had so many sweet things today. Definitely need to hold back tomorrow.
