Japan Tour: Shinjuku and Harajuku

The last time I was in Japan, I stayed in the Shinjuju area next to the Metropolitan Government Building. But because it was the first trip to Japan, the only time we spent in Shinjuku was basically going to and from the train station. Shinjuku is one of the shopping districts in Japan, and department stores line the streets. Because the weather was quite wet,it was decided to make the day one for shopping.
Afterwards, Harajuku was revisted for the Omotesando Hills building, which sadly in photos somes out looking like any other mall. Because the guidebook had noted a second Tadao Ando building, we trekked to the other side of Omotesando and encountered other architectural marvels, such as the Cartier building and the Prada building.
