Shinjuku

Good for a free observation deck, department stores and a century of tonkatsu.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building has an observation deck on the 45th floor and it is free, which makes it the cheapest view in the city. Isetan has a rooftop for a picnic, the SOMPO Museum of Art hangs Van Gogh's Sunflowers, and Oroji Tonkatsu has been frying the same cutlets for a century. Tempura Funabashiya and Tsunahachi cover the tempura. The station is a maze, so give yourself ten minutes more than you think.
