Tokyo Part 7 - Tokyo Station's goodies and Tokyo Metropolitan Tower

Surprisingly the Tokyo Metropolitan Tower is free entry, offering tourists and residents a good bird's eye view of the city. It is located near to our hotel... took us till the last day to visit. haha.




I was expecting some lousy view, given that it is free, but was pleasantly surprised to find a pretty decent view.



You can see a large patch of forest left untouched, giving the city a much needed green lung.



Couple pose....

And then we went to the Tokyo Station!
The Tokyo Station is a metro station in the heart of tokyo, and it is famous among tourists for the tons of confectionery shops!
There are tons of cakes, cookies, pastries to buy! And all wrapped up in nice gift papers for you to bring home. Tokyo Banana is here.
I spent about an hour shopping and walking around, before realising...

I had NOT even exited the metro station.
That was how big the metro station is. Browsed and shopped like crazy, and we were not even out of the station yet.


Kit Kat, a not so Japanese company that has learnt to embrace the Japanese's attention to variety.



The huge oven behind... baking the pastries fresh for the never-ending customers.


Lots and lots of different brands and different varieties.
Just realised the Tokyo Station is 100 years old...

I wished I had more photos, but I was too tired.... LOL
