Tokyo Kita-ku Ouji 1-11-1

高さ88.3m、17階建ての複合文化施設で、最上階には無料の展望ロビーがある。営業時間は22:00までとなっており、訪れた時はギリギリだったものの見学させて頂くことができ、とても有り難かった。新幹線が見えることで有名らしいが、夜だった為見ることは出来なかった。周りには高層ビルが殆ど無いため、遠くまで見渡すことが出来る。各階にはホールや会議室等があるそうで、便利そうである。

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
