Our plans for Day 5 in Tokyo were relatively light. Since, well, all of us on the trip were gamers and Square-Enix fans, our intrepid leader Aka-san decided to take us through Shinjuku to the Square-Enix Show Case store.
Since it had been a while since Aka-san had last been to the store, we took our time wandering through Shinjuku as Aka-san got his bearings. This worked out well, as we could take in the sights of this particular district as we walked.
We made it to the Square-Enix Show Case store and we were let loose inside. There were lots of items, paraphernalia, character goods, etc. from all the different games and products that Square-Enix has worked on.
Once we were done at the store, and had taken our mandatory group photo (pictured above with bonus attendee), we all broke off to do our own things for the rest of the day and night. Myself, Travis and X went off first to the Nakano Broadway. The Nakano Broadway is a huge, multi-level shopping center that has stores of all kinds and persuasions. We spent our time there getting gifts and souvenirs for people back home and then we returned back to our hotel.
That evening, the three of us took a stroll around the city and walked our way from the Shinagawa Prince Hotel towards the Tokyo Tower. We did not make it all the way to the tower, but instead opted to photograph the tower from various points along our walk. All of the pictures from this day can be seen here.
