We explored for a bit in the shops and restaurants, and then had lunch at an Italian restaurant in the basement. That took quite a while – the wait staff here all seem to expect that we’ll order more courses and take longer to eat than we actually do, and so they don’t come around very often.
We then went to the observation lounge on the 53rd floor, which offered stunning views of the city, and we enjoyed a rather strange but tasty drink while we were there.
The drink was a strawberry banana slushy, with lime gel on the bottom and chocolate chips throughout.
Unfortunately, the Mori Art Museum on the next floor was closed, so we explored slightly further afield, finding a small grocery store where we picked up sandwich makings and snacks for a quick dinner, and enough for lunch in coming days. In the evening, we followed the advice of one of our guide books and went to the Shinjuku district, but other than the maze of neon lights, we weren’t really sure what we should be looking for. We ended up wandering the "Shinjuku Subnade", an underground shopping center attached to the subway station, and then we called it a night.
