Tokyo Day 5

Day 5, it was finally our free and easy day in Japan. Our hotel was very far away from Tokyo central and we had to find our way down town. It was a fantastic experience taking subway of Japan, and after studying the lines for a few minutes I got the hang of it and never once lost our way. That was my greatest achievement!! Did some ground work and Shibuya is a must go place in Tokyo. Shibuya is one of the twenty-three cuty wards of Tokyo, but often refers to the popular shopping and entertainment area around Shibuya Station. Most of the area's large department and fashion stroes belong to two competing corporations, Tokyo or Seibu.

The prominient landmark of Shibuya is the large intersection in front of the station (Hachiko Exit), which is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens and gets crossed by amzaingly large crowds of pedestrains each time the traffic light turns green.

Meet Hachiko (the dog statue), according to a famous story, the dog waited for his master ever day in front of Shibuya Station, and continued to do so for years even after his master had passed away. It is one of Tokyo's most popular meeting point.

The nicest place to shop, 109 building!

After shopping at Shibuya, we took the subway to Harajuku, this place is very famous for Cos play costumes. On the other side of Harajuku, it was high end shopping, with all the branded boutiques like Chanel, YSL, Christian Dior... along the main road.

Walked pass Lacoste... no one inside wor... checked with some japanese they said this was not a very popular brand. Haha that explained why the boutique was so empty.
