Katipuneros Goes to Tokyo (Day 2)

Day 2 - JNTO TIC, Shinjuku, Shibuya, TMG

Sightseeing: JNTO Tokyo Tourist Information Center

• A must-do when in Japan is to try on a kimono, but if you tried searching for the rates, it's a bit expensive. But you can do it here for FREE! And their kimonos are soooo beautiful!

• They can also demonstrate origami, calligraphy, and Furoshiki.

Furoshiki

• After spending about two hours here, we walked to TIC near Nihombashi station to buy the Tobu tickets for the following day.
• 

Food: Unlimited Sushi at Shinjuku

• We got off at Shinjuku station, and walked to this place.
• Price is higher for men compared to women. We had two hours to eat. They take in the order maximum of 30 sushi. We were 6, with 2 guys so we ordered 4x but we were soooo stuffed! Thanks Loi for the treat!

Godzilla also wanted unlimited sushi

Gift Gate Tokyo

• After which, we wanted to go to different places so we just met up after one hour. I went to Shinjuku Bus Terminal to pay for our reservations to Fuji, while they went shopping for rubber shoes and whatnot.

Sightseeing: Shibuya

• This is a rather over-rated crossing. We really didn't get what the hype was about haha But it was such a tourist-y thing to do haha
• Best view as they said was on the second floor of Starbucks (but we didn't go in anyway)

Shibuya 109

Sightseeing: Tokyo Metropolitan Building

• I know we were already in Shinjuku earlier, and we could have walked it but we wanted the nightsky of Tokyo so we went there after dark.
• We checked the schedule, and it was the 4th Monday so the South Observatory was the one opened (where you can view the Tokyo Tower)

• Expenses: bought the Fuji tickets (4350 JPY) and the Edo Wonderland (6180 JPY) tickets
