Travelogue Japan-Day 6 West Side Story

We are exploring the west side of the Yamanote loop.  I have found that I have not taken as many pictures over the last few days as I normally would,  This has also resulted in forgetting what we did that day.  We began at Meiji Jingu because my friends' son was still a toddler when he came.  He remembered a few things about that visit and wanted to explore it more.  Afterwards, we went to the World Gourmet and Music festival.  A rather disappointing little event in my mind.  I was hoping for more vendors to pack the event location.


We walked the short ditance to Shibuya where we spent the builk of the time at Mega Don Quijote


I didnt chronicle this part in hardly any pictures but we went to Shinjuku aftwards.  I got a video of Godzilla roaring and breathing fire.  They got a kick from looking at the entrance to the Robot Restaurant.  A little bit more shopping was done when we stumbled upon a 100 yen shop.  Broke into 2 groups for dinner, sushi or noodles.  When dinner was done, some continued shopping, some went back for the night and the last went to Sky Tree.  Sola Machi Mall makes the base of the structure


Enter through the lower observatory before paying an additional fee to reach the higher level.


The Asahi building with its unique ornament back on its roof.  Last year it was removed


It was decided to walk to Asakusa instead of taking the subway as we did on the ride to get here


Across the bridge and we can look back on where we came from.  We took the subway the rest of the way back to our accommodations
