東京都庁舎 Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building houses the headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

So HUGE!

This building is one of the masterpieces in the second half of Kenzo Tange, and it generally belongs in a post-modern way as a design, it is said that the first main government building has generally quoted the form of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

A day before the Tokyo Marathon 2013.

You can go up to the observation room on the 45th floor.

You arrive there in only 55 seconds by a direct elevator from the first floor.

It's a kind of magic hour.

Depends on a angle, different.

Some buildings have interest designs.

You can see both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree from here.
