Thanksgiving in Tokyo-Part II


Happy New Year!!

It's New Years Day and I'm finally catching up on these blog posts...sorry I'm a little late!

Tokyo has so much to see and do...and eat. :)  We had a long laundry list of places we wanted to visit, but you can not possibly do it all in 4 days, so we just wandered the different neighborhoods soaking up the entire experience.

One of the first areas of town we explored was Shinjuku.  Most streets are flooded with restaurants, shops and lots of people!

{Jeff loves it here!}

We found this place to stop and eat!  All the menus have pictures which makes it much easier.

After ordering from the machine you hand your ticket to the waitress and she brings you your food.  It's so efficient!



Then we were off for more exploring!!

{Called the Cocoon Bldg-we have no idea what goes on here}
I had read that from the observatory of the government building you could see all of Tokyo.  We had to go and see for ourselves.






We spent most of the day in Shinjuku and then went to Ginza at night.  Everything was decorated with Christmas lights and the vibe there was unlike anything I've experienced.
Like NYC on crack.

 Thanks for reading!
