Day 4 - Shinkuju, Harajuku and Omote-sando again

Ok - I'm not flowing with details these days. Sorry. Finding time to do anything but run around town and try to absorb it all is almost impossible. I can't believe we only have another day and a half in Tokyo before we have to leave. We'll try to post follow-ups later.

Essentially though yesterday start out rainy. We got up late, so we decided to head over to Shinjuku and try some shopping. Its a huge rail hub with several shopping centers attached. We didn't have much luck with shopping. We did have a business lunch though, pretty cool.

We then headed over to the huge city metro building, it had two huge observation decks on top of it. We couldn't see much because of the weather, but it is an impressive structure. Rain started to tail off after that, so we decided to take the JR train to Harajuku and walk down Omotesando. It's really cool. A nice shopping neighborhood with tons of nice, expensive backstreets. We finally made our way back to the Berry restaurant for some "pie" and coffee. After that we walked back over to Shibuya to try more shopping - we had better luck this time but still no awesome purchase yet.

Feet worn off, we headed back to Akasaka and had dinner at a very nice, traditional Japanese restaurant. (First time this trip we've had to take off our shoes. Tofu that melted, MELTED in your mouth.)

Weather is way better today. Let's go see Tokyo!
