Day 250: Nakano Broadway & Shibuya

Solid first day with Japan squad. Jet lag team slept okay and were ready for a 7/11 breakfast excursion! So many egg sandwhiches and onigiri.

Catie led us to Shinjuku and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Sorth Observatory which offered a free skyscraper view of the city! Next we visited Nakano Broadway which is a nerd heaven shopping mall. Everyone was really patient with James, Kieran, and I exploring the gashopon ball machines and second floor figurine shops. We didn’t walk away with too many items. Grabbed lunched at a dumpling shop where Mary got to try horse tartare!

After some downtime in the afternoon, we went to a delicious omakase that Hannah located. The sushi was sooooo good and the chefs gave us so much food. Everyone was stuffed so we walked to Shibuya proper.

We got to witness the Shibuya Crossing scramble and beautiful glowing signs. We decided to hit a karaoke bar and got unlimited drinks for 2 hours for $22 per person! Amazing first day and night!
