While wandering through Shinjuku on our first full day, we found ourselves in Shinjuku Central Park where we visited our first shrine - the Kumano-jinja Shrine.
We also happened upon the Christon Cafe - a Christian themed bar/restaurant where I had a fruity drink called the Deathscythe.
For dinner, we attempted to find a soba restaurant recommended in our guidebook, but failed in that attempt (since we didn't realize the restaurant was on the 2nd floor), but ended up in a yakitori stall down an alley just north of Shinjuku station (according to our guidebook, the area is sometimes referred to as "piss alley", from the time before there was a public bathroom down there).
We pretty much ate everything they offered, including chicken skin, gizzards, kidneys. We also met some sweet girls from Nagoya who asked to have their picture taken with us,
and drank several glasses of shochu with an Englishman living in New Zealand.

Sounds good to me.
Nagoya is a nice town, has a good art museum and wonderful porcelain shops.
