We had lunch there once before, but this was our first time taking in the night view from the top. This hotel was the setting for <I>Lost in Translation<\/I> starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.<\/p>\n<p>We went to the New York Grill on the 52nd floor initially.

This is facing north. You can see <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/2009\/09\/shinjuku-from-below-and-above-part-1\/>Shinjuku Chuo Park<\/a> in the center and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to the right.<\/p>\n<p>We walked back to Shinjuku Station a little after 11 p.m. Part of the west side of the station was filled with homeless people sleeping side by side, many with boxes over their heads to keep out the light and noise. I&#8217;ve seen plenty of homeless people before, but this was most unusual. There were dozens of them lined up in neat rows with hundreds of waking people walking down the aisles between them that they had left for us to get back inside the train station.<\/p>\n<p>I took this picture with my <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/2010\/05\/panasonic-lumix-tz10\/>TZ10<\/a> and left the shutter open for 8 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a hot and humid night earlier this month we headed to the Park Hyatt Tokyo in Shinjuku.
