: After our walk around the moat at the Imperial Palace, we took the subway over to the Shinjuku neighborhood where we encountered the National Garden. There were some crazy blooming trees full of white-eyes as well as a pond full of Mandarin Ducks.
We walked across the park, and then we continued on to the Shibuya Crossing. The Shibuya crossing was a huge waste of time, really, just people crossing the street.
