When there is spot of free time, I visited parts of Tokyo using public transport. On the first night, I visited Shinjuku. This area is a district of entertainment.
Many shopping malls are situated here. The neon lights are so bright.
As space is scarce, there are some shops located on upper floors of buildings. To identify, you need just to look for the neon signs.
One morning I visited Ginza.
Here the shops are all high end ones. Also, the crowd is also different. More oldies.
Also at Ginza is the famous Seiko store. This is Seiko's Flagship store. I had the impression that the store would present all the Seiko models currently in production. Unfortunately, when I went there, only limited number of examples were displayed and even that are only JDM models. Saw some Credors.

The Japanese restaurant I went to still have the plastic samples of the dishes on display. This is how I remember Japanese restaurants.
A lot of people believed the Tokyo Metro system during rush hour is really bad. However, I was on a train heading towards Shibuya at 5:30 pm and this is the situation on that train. Loads of elbow space.
Got an opportunity to take a self portrait. The train was hot! It doesn't come equipped with air condition.
Below is the famous cross-road at Shibuya where people move in 5 directions. At this moment everyone is waiting for the lights to turn green.
The uniqueness of this crossing is that all traffic stopped at the same time. People starting to cross the street.
Check out the mass movement of people in the video below!!!
Later got a chance to be part of the mass of people about to make the crossing.
Tokyo is truly a city of lights.
There's even a cafe for pets!
