ゼックス愛宕グリーンヒルズ (XEX ATAGO GREEN HILLS) 42 Floor, looking in the direction of 浜離宮恩賜庭園 (Hamarikyū Gardens) which was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shōgun Tokugawa family in the 17th century. Equally impressive was the view o...  

I enjoy being down in the city, street level... but nothing like a night view from above... for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, drones are not allowed and with a few exceptions flying over Tokyo is prohibited... During the games next year I imagine booking su... 

When I lived in LA I used to visit San Francisco 2-3 times a month on business and loved staying in the city, upper floor, ceiling to floor windows, with the curtains open at night... My friends from Maui are at the Conrad here in Tokyo and have a killer ... 

Stayed at the Conrad Tokyo once only to be able to go to the Tsujuki Market ( they moved since) early enough... Fantastic experience.

I would have preferred to use an ND Grad filter for that shot, but taking a tripod into a restaurant is a bit much even for me ; ) I have not been to the new Fish (and vegie) Market nor Tsukiji for that matter... but I have eaten my share of sushi... Case...

...my wife's company moved from Ebisu station to Mori Tower just after we left Tokyo. When we went back in January we visited her old office-mates. The views from that building are spectacular...as were the views from the hotel where we stayed in midtown.... 

1927: 東京地下鉄道株式会社 (Tokyo Underground Railway Co., Ltd.) opened Tokyo's / Japan's first underground subway line that carried people... a segment of the Ginza Line which ran between Ueno and Asakusa, a distance of 2.2 km. For many years my commuter pass incl...
