Japan - Day 5 (Shinjuku and back to Narita)

Today was AMAZING. First we met up with our German friends (Robert and Rafael McStan) and our new friend from YSA (Christopher Sannar), and then we went to go eat lunch.

We yelped a high-rated ramen place for lunch and it turns out it has won all kinds of awards for being the best ramen place! I thought it was super good and when we left the line was crazy long.




We went to the top of the Tokyo Metro Building for an awesome free view of the city. As far as you could see out it was all buildings! So cool.



Next we wandered back to the station and on the way stopped at an electronics store to get free massages. Actually, on our way to the electronics store we were joking around, having a good time, and we walked across a bridge that started to rock while we walked on it! So we started sort of jumping up and down because we thought it was funny that the bridge was actually swaying just from us! It actually didn't really seem to work when we jumped though.

Later, we found out that it was actually from an EARTHQUAKE! Hahaha. So that was a fun, harmless little earthquake for us.



It's hard to capture in words what a fun day it was, but it was awesome and you can see a lot of it in this video:

At the end of the day we went to Narita to our hostel we would stay at that night. We did some laundry, biked around on the free bikes, and had dinner with our new friend Ravi that we met when we got picked up at the airport on our way to the hostel.
