The plans have changed... Oh yeah, I had to sleeeeeeeeeep :D So no Fish Market of Tsukiji today. But many many places visited! Many kilometers done and Kcal lost :)
After taking a real small breakfast we went to Shinjuku which has the most crowded Metro Station of the world : 3.7 million people everyday! HUGE! And it is! It's really easy to lose his way ^_^ Hopefully the Japanese are really helpful. At the train station there is always a lady giving us the directions and the price for the Subway which is really cool because everything is in Japanese and it's rare to find an English map with the directions and the price on it.
In Shinjuku station we bought our Shinkansen and Express train tickets for Kanazawa. We will leave Tokyo on Sunday at around 9am so we can assist the ceremony that will be placed specially for us in the language school. After visiting Shinjuku we visited the areas and the many shops around there. After that we went to Harajuku which is also another place with many CraZy people! Mainly young people wearing "costumes" for clothes. Again lot of noise but really nice. The streets were more like a European city than a Japanese one.
Harajuku done! We went to Shibuya which is also very very crowded like everywhere in Tokyo I think. Lot of shops and games places. There is also a Love Hotel Hill which is a small area with only Love Hotels. It is really funny because it is so flashy! To complete this crazy day, we continued to the Roppongi district which is also said to be a "Hot District". There is a crazy building in Roppongi : The Roppongi Hills built by a famous Japanese architect : Minoru Mori which took 17 years from the concept to the realisation... It is nice!
Finally to enjoy the night time we decided to head to the Tokyo Tower! 332.6 meters (8.6 taller than the Eiffel Tower) built in the '60 it is really inspired from the french one! It has a crazy view from it!
This day was also a very long day. The Jet Lag is slowly disappearing and tomorrow we should be alright with it. Tomorrow we decided to visit the Odaiba district which is near the sea.
Again very nice day I think and hopefully it will continue like that. The pictures by night are great and I love also the picture from the phone.
