Japan - Buildings
Contrast in buildings - back building is Shiodome, the front
is a rebuilt version of the first train station in Tokyo (or Japan),
dating to the 1870s when the U.S. and Europe supplied the first trains
The Akasaka Prince Hotel on a clear and lovely day
Interesting building - three main trunks and exterior skeleton; very cool
And another (at Shinodome); lots and lots of glass
Nice little building with odd top, but surrounded by nice trees
View from hotel - this is Akasaka Mitsuke; mixed residential and commercial
Tokyo at night
Another view from Tokyo Tower; note cluster of light up signs in the center
A typical large intersection, with lots of color, neon, etc.
Empire State Building look-a-like
Ex-patriot apartment building - I've been up there, 3000
square foot places, huge for Tokyo
Only affordable with an ex-pat package
Twilight view from Tokyo Tower - Roppongi Hills Mori Tower on
the left and new complex under construction on the right.
My hotel in between them, about 1km further away.
Close-up Mori Tower at twilight
Shiodome looking straight up
Another pretty white building
Roppongi Hills Apartment Tower - Lovely color in the bright sun
Church in Roppongi Hills
Inside the tiny church
View of Rainbow Bridge to O-Daiba
