Japan Trip 2009 - Day 7 - Part 2

Returned to Shinjuku, we got about 6 hours to spend. Because we would have dinner with a friend who works in Japan for several years. When the time I called her, we got the good news from her that she was gonna get marry several days later. Wow, it really shocked me at the moment because we did not have any gifts for her. Still, we felt so happy to hear that news.

Actually, we planned to have a visit to the Fuji Television Head Office Building. We took a train to the area of Odaiba お台場. Where you can visit Fuji Television Building, and see the Rainbow Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. All those could be seen on Japanese TV drama series.

After getting down the train, we had to walk quite a while to reach the Fuji Television Building. The building is an interesting building when you look from the outside. There is a ball on top of it. And actually, it acts as a tower for visitors to admire the scenery of the Tokyo Bay. The building is actually a visiting site for all people. We bought the tickets and have a walking trip around the building. In there, you can see the studios, different scenes for some special drama series and shows. You can take photos at these scenes. If you a real big fans of some artists or drama series. You gotta be crazy at there. To us, not big fans, just like walking through a visiting site. 

 Left that building, we took a walk along the sea side of Odaiba. It was getting dark that time. The view is really nice. The Rainbow Bridge makes the view very rich. The bridge is riding over the Tokyo Bay. It gives out similar feel of that long bridge in Hong Kong but much more gentle. Also, we took a look at the Statue of Liberty. The scale is a lot smaller than that in Manhattan but still, very nice. Walking along the sea side is really a good experience. A really romantic feel but a bit cold at night.

 

After that, we walked to the mall side. We picked a gift for my friend there. Then we headed back to Shinjuku to meet my friend. We then went to a restaurant which is in upper floor of a building. We really had a good time there. Eating, chatting, enjoying the time. It was really great.
