Tokyo Station, Marunouchi
If you are into historical landmarks, it is very hard to miss this 1914 building that was renovated and restored to look as it were in the pre-war years. Besides being the busiest station in Tokyo, this station also has a hotel, restaurants, art gallery and even prayer space for Muslims.
Meiji-jingu Giant Torii
The giant torii gate that marks the initial entrance to Meiji Shrine may not be the usual shade of crimson, but it is the largest and one of the most impressive torii in all of Japan.
The Myth of Tomorrow by Taro Okamoto
Taro Okamoto‘s The Myth of Tomorrow is a haunting piece of art depicting the horrors of an atomic bombing. It is also known as “The Lost Mural,” since it was missing for years somewhere in Mexico after the hotel that commissioned it went out of business. It was later sent back to Japan and is now installed in Shibuya Station.
Hugo Boss, Jingumae
Shaped like an hourglass, this building has an impressive structure that you do not want to miss taking a shot of. The building showcases elegance and class just like the brand. With its glass windows, viewers from the opposite side of the street can also window shop the luxury brand as well.
Tokyo Camii
For all Muslims and non-Muslims, if you have only time to visit one of these works of architecture, then let it be this one. You must be quite surprised by the remarkable elegance and beauty of this magnificent structure in the middle of Tokyo.
Godzilla
Those less fussed about fine art and more in the mood for tracking down the king of monsters should first make their way to Kabukicho, where a significantly tall Godzilla head towers over the Toho Cinemas movie complex. For more Godzilla goodness, head to Hibiya Chanter Square, where a 1.2m-tall Godzilla has been protecting the area since 1994.
Audi Forum, Omotesando
This building looks like an iceberg and it is the reason for the formation of its nickname, “the iceberg.” Audi Forum is actually a showroom for the automobile company’s latest models. We suggest you visit during the night as you will be able to check out Audi’s glazing blue lights.
