@kottke Try to book a sunset time for Shibuya Sky . . . it's worth it if the weather cooperates (Shinjuku's free observation floor is pretty good too . . )

I found walking around the old main castle moat to be very impressive, when you consider why it was built and how serious it was 400 years ago now.

Sitting in the front seat of the Yurikamome driverless train from Shinbashi to Odaiba is also a cheap thrill.

Shakujii-koen is a gem of a lakeside park
