Tokyo japan

Second day...we went to Shinjuku with the intention to try and visit Hakone...but was advised that the weather was cloudy hence the ship service and cable car and ropeway may be completely stopped.

We anyways bought the Hakone free pass.

The following link gives you all details regarding the pass

We bought the same for 5500 yen per ticket for Sunday....and decided to see Shinjuku...

One of the highlights of the area was Takashimaya - the super store at The Times Square.....having seen the chain in Singapore and Taipei umpteen times one would not expect any surprises.

But the store is so huge you are wonderstruck by its sheer size. Its over 12 floors and the whole store in other Asian cities would be equal or less than one of the floors.
Its a must see of high end shoppers.

We were also quite amazed to see over 100 people queuing up in a slight dristle at a Krispy Creme Doughnut outlet...We had lunch at Shinjuku and headed towards the Ueno Zoo...
