Rootops

I probably won't have time to get back to Shinjuku and see the Marui Honkan rooftop, so the Mitsukoshi 8th floor rooftop will do.
The inside is pretty much any department store, with all sorts of luxury goods. There is even a luxury hawaian goods section, smelling of pina colada sunscreen and monoi.
Up here in the not so blazing afternoon sun, it's tea time and bonsai garden viewing. Down there it's rushing salarymen and traffic, up here it's windy and buzzing with birds. I spent 10min watching a toddler walking up and down a ramp a countless times, under the amused eyes of her granparents. Eventually the got tired of watching out for her fall, so dragged her away to the garden shop (full of pet clothes).
