Tokyo - Day 3

A big day before the kids arrive!

Great breakfast at Hotel Gajoen Tokyo. Then on to our new hotel, a ryokan, Yuen Shinjuku (ONSEN RYOKAN). Right nearby we saw an annual Shinjuku parade. Just after, we came across a street market which was so fun.

Our big excursion lead through the heart of Shinjuku and then onto the Metropolitan Government Building for a stunning view of the city. As a Sunday, the streets were not crowded at all.

Coming back, we visited the utterly amazing food court at Takashimaya, a dependent store, which has curated, high end food counters. Leaving, I couldn’t resist a Starbuck’s run only to stumble into a madhouse of people. Very popular.

Lunch was a complete success right at the counter of Tempura Shinjuku Tsunahachi Souhonten for tempura.

We then sauntered through Shinjuku Gyoen National Park for a quiet and peaceful excursion before heading to our hotel.

At the hotel, we donned our Yukatas and went to the hotel’s onsen for a deep and restful soak. A nap, quick ramen dinner and the kids arrived to complete our day.Читать далее
