Without aim, I wandered the streets of Shinjuku in the night to see the lights and billboards. Trying to take in the metropolitan night atmosphere. It’s always amazing how quiet and peaceful streets can be just 5 minutes from a major amusement spot.

The next morning I awoke very late but with a fire in my belly. I found a rice with egg set at the local Matsuya for breakfast for about 4 Euro.

Waking up slowly I figured that I’d check out Tokyo Station which was about a 25-minute train ride away. I took the JY Yamanote Line from Shinjuku to Tokyo Station.

In Tokyo Station I checked out character street with its cute anime shops and Travelers Factory for notebooks. Tried hard to not spend all of my money on Gashapon. Sat in front of the station for a while admiring the weather and the architecture.

I had Ramen for lunch in Ramen Street and went home to rest.
