Shinjuku skyline


I took some photos from the Excel Hotel in Shibuya and had a go at pasting them together to make a panorama. It's a bit shaky, but you get to see a wide shot of Tokyo from it.

Can you see the mountain range in the background from this shot?

Do you like to see the city from high up or down on the street?

I think this is the Opera City Tower. My wife worked for a company in this building before we moved to the US.

well spotted. that does look like the Opera City Tower. I have only been up there once for dinner, a birthday surprise party, many years ago. I took this photo before Christmas when I visited the Park Hyatt for a meeting. [img]http://shibuya246.com/wp-content/upload/DSC_7689.JPG[/img]

A little bit of pollution here?

the last photo "looking back down" really shows how densely populated Tokyo is . . . a very dynamic place though. :D

we have pollution here in the form of smoke from wood-burning stoves used for heating in the winter, it lays like a bluish gray haze every morning.

There is a Jojoen (http://www.jojoen.co.jp/index.html) on like the 32nd floor or so. One in Shibuya too. Love that place.

Excellent photos. Is that a picture of Maki Horikita I see on the Shibuya 109 building? Talking about Shibuya 109, are there regular promotions by J-pop artists just outside the front entrance? I was fortunate to see Beni perform a song on a special stage set up in 2008 and was wondering if this sort of thing happens quite often.

sure is. It was the last day before they replaced the poster with something else. Just caught it in time :)
