21 Jan 2013 - Japan day 4 - Shinjuku, Korea Town

after lunch, we went to Shinjuku as it was near Korea Town and we can catch the view from the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (TMG) for free.


it was 4.30pm and the sun was setting quickly.

we reached TMG.

 we went to the observation deck on the 45th floor of the North Tower.

we could see Tokyo Tower and the Sky Tree, but my camera couldn't capture them.


next, we took the subway to get to Korea Town (near Shin Okubo) - R wanted to bring us to a famous street called Ikemen-dori.
"Ikemen" = handsome man, by the way.
i asked her if the guys there were really handsome, and she said, "not really", lol.

first, we shopped at the hyper-market known as DonKi ドン・キホーテ.


 this was Ikemen-dori - it really looked like we were back in Korea! there were Korea restaurants / drinking places / cosmetic shops lining both sides.
the waiter at one of the restaurants had a pretty-boy face. :)

 a lot of restaurants had autographs of famous Korean celebs.

and R went crazy when she saw this chicken - it was the mascot of the chicken restaurant called Yeolbong Jjimdak (ヨ ルボンチムタク / 烈鳳찜닭). 
it's actually her idol, Se7en's restaurant. :)

after that, we had coffee for dinner at Doutor...

i was sad to leave R after spending the whole day with her  >< it was a great day!
