Day Yep I've Lost Track - Imperial Palace Garden and Shibuya

The Imperial Palace Garden was closed on Friday (not sure why, it's just closed on Fridays), but we got there on Saturday.

The bridge in.

And the gate.

One of the trees was actually blossoming.  Wish I could've seen it in spring, but it's nice to have some color.

Oranges, or some fruit like them.

This seemed to be the main "attraction" of the garden.

The view across the garden.  Again, it would probably be nicer in spring.

The mural on a nearby building.  The building itself was blocked off.

I...forget what this building was.  I think it was called something like "Fuji-View".

A fountain. Not sure where the water was actually falling from.

There was a nice view of the city here.

More city.

Diorama inside the shop.

National Archives of Japan.

After the Palace Garden, we took a subway to Shibuya. Here's a mural of dogs outside the station.

A nice shot of Shibuya.  Absolutely crowded with people, and there were 3 TV screens constantly playing on the buildings there.  Reminded me of Times Square.

More of the main part of Shibuya.

The statue of Hachiko.  Pretty much always crowded with people getting pictures with it.

In Shibuya, we went to karaoke with a group of people.  I didn't really get any exciting shots of karaoke itself, but here's the remainder of Russian Roulette.  The plate had a bunch of these puffs with ice cream inside, and one with hot sauce.  I was lucky enough not to get the hot sauce, and they were lucky enough that there was still an ice-cream-puff left.

Shibuya at night.

Purikura.  Photo booths where you're expected to absolutely vandalize the pictures with drawings and such afterwards. At least, that's what I got out of it.  I'll probably put the results from it up later.

And finally, here's a thing of Q-tips that came with the pictures.
