Sightseeing in Shinjuku District

We hit the rails at 10am this morning and headed out to Tokyo’s famous Scramble Crossing in Shinboya, a bustling, iconic intersection, in which there can be thousands of people crossing at the same time. From there we took the pristine train back to Shinjuku, without even asking anyone for directions, and leisurely strolled through the Gyoen National Gardens where we enjoyed the many trees that displayed their wonderful cherry blossoms and other beautiful foliage. On our way back we were guided by the iconic statue of Godzilla one block from our hotel “closet”. Streets are meticulously clean and the crowds are peaceful and serene. First impressions are very favourable!Read more
