First Kitchen in Shinjuku. Still there and a perfect landmark. You just have to cross the street and you're right next to Shinjuku Station.

Ah, the nostalgia. When I saw  this sign on the way to the anime studio I had to take a picture. For those who don't know -think "Kimagure Orange Road"

the thousands of folks visiting that day. Luckily, we came in from the other side and didn't encounter too much crowding until we reached this side of the park.

A few more of the Shinjuku Gardens. Sakura were actually falling just like they do in many anime.

A view with a landmark I've used a few times when I've gotten lost. I call it the Empire State Building of Tokyo. I just make my way toward it if I become disoriented.
