The first day. It was rainy and windy but the weather didn't affect our moods. We decided to start exploring the area where we lived, Shinjuku, which is one of Tokyo's major commercial and administrative centre.




Of course my umbrella broke two minutes after I bought it.




We went to this shrine, Hanazono Shrine, which is a bit hidden between all the houses.



Nearby is Golden Gai, an area of about 200 tiny bars.


Sompo Japan Building, we went up here to take a tour in the Sompo Japan Museum of Art.


Problems with someone always stealing your beloved umbrella? Not in Tokyo!


First view of Tokyo, and Cocoon Tower.



Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, in both towers there's observation floors with panoramic views, we went up.





Since it was raining, we walked from skyscraper to skyscraper, the next was this one in the picture - Shinjuku Park Tower. We sat at the top, in the luxurious New York Bar with a fantastic view and felt extremely good.







We sat there until it got dark and the view in front of us turned into this.


Then we went back to our hotel to cheer up for our first party night in Tokyo!
