Last day in Tokyo...for now

On our final day in Tokyo, we decided to head north to Ikebukuro to see what the much hyped Namjatown Sunshine City was like. We had heard it was an indoor amusement park with a food court called Gyoza stadium, where 32 gyoza vendors try to get your business. We were slightly underwhelmed by what we found, but the gyoza were excellent!

Because it was such a nice day out, we headed to Yoyogi Park in Shibuya and came across a festival just over the bridge containing tons of food vendors, children doing karate and cheer leading on the main stage, and games (including timed wood cutting). In the mood for a death march (and not actually knowing how far we'd be walking), we headed in the direction of Roppongi. A few hours later we got to Roppongi Hills which was quite a sight, though we were too tired to enjoy the area properly.

In the mood for a drink and dinner close to home (since we had a very early train the next morning), we went back to Shinjuku and had martinis in the Park Hyatt hotel on the 52nd floor, with amazing views of the city. For dinner we found a kaiten sushi place and ate to our hearts content.
