Japan - Tokyo!!

So, last weekend I met up with Mike Ryan in Japan.  The second round of our yearly catch ups somewhere in the world.  Last year, Mike was based in Germany, so we met up in London.  He's currently based in Honolulu, so we met in the middle - Tokyo!!

 

We took in some culture and tested the local food, beer, and sake, but the biggest attraction was the city itself.

Here's the view of Western Tokyo from the Sky Tree Observation Tower 

 

                                        

 

Working on my fear of heights

Tokyo is massive with 20+ million people and multiple districts all with their own characteristics.  I had know idea where to stay, so I picked Shinjuku because it had a hotel with Godzilla on the rooftop 

The hotel lobby had a wall filled with all of the Godzilla movie posters
