The tallest building in Shinjuku, TMG No. 1 offers sweeping views of Tokyo -- all the way to Mt. Fuji on a clear day -- from the 45th floor observatory.

Fantastic views of the Tokyo City and suburbs. Free entry. There are two observation towers - one in each of the building's two towers. It is located above Tochomae Station (on the Toei Oedo line), or is a comfortable 10 minute walk from Shinjuku Station (all other train lines including JR, Keio, Seibu, Odakyu and other subway lines).

The South Observatory will remain closed, due to remodeling work on the TMG Buildings. It is scheduled for a renewal opening around spring of 2019. (The Norh Observatory is open.)

I had a lovely time wandering through these couple of alleys, before sitting in one of the tiny restaurants for some yakitori- I had beef & also a bunch of veggies wrapped in bacon! Delicious. Some of the restaurants (which are all pretty tiny) have second floors, so dont assume they're all full. Like most bars/restaurants around Tokyo, all have a cover fee ranging from ¥300-1000.

Lots of items to see and play with, but at the end of the day, we decided against buying a camera here because of how hard it would be to return if there’s any issues with it, besides, we really didn’t find it cheaper than back home where we can get pretty good deals on Black Friday or Boxing Day. Regardless, this is a fun place to explore. The grocery area is my favourite because of all the unique items they have. Just the different kinds of Kitkat alone was amazing!

We found this shrine accidentally while walking around the park. As we strolled on the western part of the park, we saw a Shinto wedding and watched the ceremony. There are many local residents using the shrine to offer daily prayers as well as an information booth with Shinto priests to answer your questions. I would recommend a visit after viewing the observatory at the Tokyo Met Building. After visiting many larger shrines in Tokyo, this one is the most authentic and historic (dating back to the 1400s) that we saw.
