Yesterday (sorry that it's always yesterday by now^^') I went to Shinjuku to visit the Tokyo Metropolitian Government Building (in japanese called 'Tocho'). The main site of the Tokyo Tourism Information is situated there and they offer free guided tours through the building and to the observatory platform on the 45th floor (http://www.gotokyo.org/en/tourists/guideservice/guideservice/index.html).

The
guide could speak good english and it was really interesting. We
visited the important places of the city hall and of course the council
hall, it was so great!

From the observatory you have a great view over Tokyo. He also showed me the important buildings which could be seen from there. It is absolutely worth a visit!

At 13:00 pm I had to be back in the Tourist Information Office because I had booked a guided tour through Shinjuku (it was also free, you find the tour on the homepage above). We went over the Southern Terrace of the JR station to the Takashiyama Square, quit to the south side of the station where the two (german speaking) guides showed me nice little streets with many bars and an old theatre.

Of course we walked also through some main shopping streets with big department stores. Last station of the tour was the food department in the 'Isetan'. It was really impressive!
After this great toures I met up with Lau in Shibuya because we wanted to visit Tokyo Tower Records to get the Golden Bomber Best of Album in the Germany Version. We really got it but that was not the best thing for me: I also got the book of Kenji (the drummer of Golden Bomber), I'm so happy X3

So see ya ^__^/)
