Great tour - The weather was in our favour and stopped raining for our really interesting walk with Yuki. He was so knowledgable about the area having grown up and lives in Shinjuku. We had a tour of old Shinjuku which took us to Memory Lane where we ate Yakitori skewers later on. So used Yukis knowledge to continue fun after the walk. Government observatory on the way home so thank you Yuki.
