新宿御苑

10月9日（金）快晴

ホテルを移動。僕は海の見えるインターコンチネンタルが好きですが、ユミは新宿駅の南口に直結する今度の小田急センチュリー・ホテルがお気に入り。徒歩の範囲内にデパート、劇場、映画館、本屋、パソコン・ショップ、飲食店など何でもあります。試食のできるデパ地下とコインランドリーも。新宿御苑も徒歩10分。池の向こうにドコモの時計台とセンチュリー・ホテルも見えます。苑内の紫羽亭で優雅に抹茶を飲みました。夜は新大久保の韓国料理店で、上品とは言えない蛸の踊り食い。

Shinjuku-gyoen
Fri. October 9 : fine

We’ve moved to a different hotel. I love Intercontinental Hotel because you can look over the sea from there but Yumi prefers Odakyu Century Hotel because it is connected directly to the south entrance of Shinjuku station. There are the department stores, the theaters, the book shops, the computer shops, the restaurants and all other kinds of shop within walking distance. There are the basement of the department stores in where you can eat and the coin-operated launderette as well. Shinjuku-gyoen is 10 minute walk from our hotel. We saw the clock tower of Docomo and Odakyu Century Hotel behind the lake. We drank powdered tea elegantly at Shiba-tei in the park. At night we had live octopus without elegancy at the Korean restaurant in Shinokubo.
