    Hiking

    Just a few minutes walk from Shinjuku Station, you can visit the first Tokyo Metropolitan Government No.1 Building, which houses the Tokyo City Council. Less known than its cousins, the Tokyo Tower and TOKYO SKYTREE, the twin towers of the building each have a viewing platform at an altitude of 202 meters. And even better, the entrance is completely free.
