Shiodome

The place where our hotel is located, the Shiodome complex, is intense. There are walkways and escalators crisscrossing all over the place and all sorts of shops and restaurants. It's perfectly clean, with marble, glass, and steel as far as the eye can see. There is even a Nathan's hot dog place next to a Doughnut Plant! It's like we never left New York.

Thankfully there are maps and signs with "you are here" everywhere we've gone so far. Only this one seemed a bit gratuitous. It tells you that you are here, half way up the flight of stairs. Duh?

Cool Building
