Day 6: Roppongi & Shinjuku

みなさん、こんにちは！

Hello everyone!

日本旅行６日目は六本木と新宿に行きましたよ！

On the 6th Day of my Japan Trip, we went to Roppongi & Shinjuku!

六本木ヒルズ森タワーからの眺めを目当てに行ったんですが、展望台「東京シティビュー」のチケットにはだいたいその時行われている展示への入場料が含まれていて、毎回行った時面白い展示があってるのでお勧めです〜スカイツリーや新宿の都庁からの眺めもいいですが、森タワーから見る展望台からはいいアングルで東京タワーが見られるのでいい個人的にかなり好きです！

We wanted to see the view from Roppongi Hills Mori Tower and the ticket of observation deck includes an admission to an on-going exhibition of the time. Exhibitions they hold were very interesting every time I went, so I would highly recommend it! Though views from Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Metropolitan Government Observation Room are nice, I like the view from Mori Tower as you can see the iconic Tokyo Tower from the best angle!

眺めを満喫したら、そこから新宿へ！最初は新宿御苑へ！駅に着いて目的地まで結構歩きました・・・私も初めてだったので今回使ったルートが最短だったかわかりませんが・・・。やっと着いたら閉園３０分前。急いで券を買って新宿門に向かうルートで完全に新宿御苑を突っ切った感じでした・・・もっとゆっくり見たかったですが何しろ閉園間近だったのでサラッとみて終了。緑が一面に広がった景色や落ち着いた雰囲気は良かったんですが、暑かったので結構バテました。

After enjoying the view, we headed off to Shinjuku! First of all, to Shinjuku-Gyoen! We walked quite a lot from the station to the destination... I'm not sure if it was the shortest route as it was my first visit... When we finally arrived, it was already 30 minutes before closing. We rushed to buy our tickets and walked towards Shinjuku Gate (one of the exits). It would have been good if we could have seen more, but it was nearly closing time so we just saw what the garden was like and left the place. I enjoyed the green surrounding us and the quiet atmosphere, but it was just too hot...

新宿門を出て新宿駅付近へ。ドンキホーテやビックロでショッピングを楽しみました。ビックロを見た家族が、ビックカメラとユニクロが一緒になってるなんて最高じゃん！と興奮気味でした笑。

We walked towards the area around Shinjuku Station. We had a good time doing shopping at Don Quijote and Bicqlo. The family was quite excited like, it's awesome that Bic Camera and Uniqlo are in one place!

お昼ごはんは食べなかったので（また朝食を食べ過ぎました）、夕方頃にはお腹ペコペコ。これは居酒屋を体験する絶好のチャンスだ！ということでお店を探し始めました。ゴールデン街は行ったことないですが、レビューは思い出横丁の方がよかったし去年行って気に入ったので思い出横丁に決定。確か「鳥園（とりえん）」という居酒屋に行きました。

As we hadn't had lunch (we had a big breakfast again), we were hungry by the evening. I thought it would be a good opportunity for them to try Izakaya (Japanese style pub), I started to look for one. I haven't been to Golden Gai, but Omoide Yokocho had better reviews and I had been there before, we went to Omoide Yokocho. I think the restaurant was called "Torien".

たこ焼きや焼き鳥、焼きおにぎり、唐揚げ・・・いろいろたのんでビールやハイボールと一緒に頂きました。一品一品美味しくて、結構たくさんたのんだのにペロリと食べてしまいました。

Tokoyaki, Yakitori, Yaki-Onigiri, Karaage... we ordered a variety of side dishes and enjoyed them with beer and Hai boru (whisky with sparkling water). Each dish was amazing, so though we ordered a lot, the dishes got completely empty in the end.

お腹いっぱいになったら腹ごなしに歌舞伎町散歩へ。ネオンで光る眩しい町並みに一同興奮。秋葉原の時も結構喜んでましたが、こちらはより大きいスケール。夜とは思えない程ギラギラ明るくて。みんな夢中で誰が一番うまく写真とれるかずっと競ってました。歩き疲れてこの日は退散。毎日違う場所に行っておいしいものを食べてユニークな体験をして。東京って本当にすること尽きないな〜と思いました！

We got super full, so went for a walk in Kabukicho. We all got fascinated by the glittering view with neon lights. The view in Akihabara was pretty good, but this place was in even bigger scale. Though the sky is completely dark, the Kabukicho area was so bright. We were taking photos competing each other who's the best photographer! After all, we got really tired so went home. Visiting different places, trying many foods, having unique experiences every day... I thought we never run out of things to do in Tokyo!

続く！

To be continued!
