So on Wednesday I needed to book my train tickets to Hakodate (in Hokkaido) and then do whatever I wanted. I knew I had to get some shots of the city so I went back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Offices. Here's the outside.


And these next shots are from inside out. The only problem with the shots is that it was still overcast so I couldn't see Mount Fuji from here. Oh and if you see some strange artefacts in the pics, its the reflection from the glass.











This is some art inside the buildings main foyer.


And some bonsai plants on display.



Before we move onto other stuff though I must make note of something that happened during my trip to the offices. So, in Shibuya I bought myself an umbrella ($6 clear umbrella that most everyone seems to have in Tokyo). On my trip up the first tower I got to the first window, put down my bag and umbrella, took out my camera, picked up my bag and started taking shots. It wasn't until I got to the other side of the floor that I realised I did not have my umbrella. So I went back to where I started and it was still there. Phew.

I went up the second tower and then repeated the process, followed by me chastising myself for doing the same thing twice. I know have an umbrella I lost twice in Tokyo in the space of about 10 minutes.


And now onto something that I know a few people will think is cool. I went back to Akihabara in the afternoon and promptly found the Kotobukiya in a side alley where they had various electronic stores and maid/cosplay cafes. For those that don't know, Kotobukiya do some very awesome collectibles for movies and games, hence I was very excited to find it. On the top floor (3rd or 4th floor, I can't remember) they had the showroom. I was able to take photos so here's everything they had in the showroom.










































Awesome stuff.

This was my last day in Tokyo, with Thursday (tomorrow) being my train ride to Hakodate to visit my friend Josiah and see something other than cityscapes.
