Tokyo Tower stands tall in Minato Ward. Photo by Brett Homenick.
During my travels today, I visited Roppongi Hills and decided to take some photos of the scenery. It's nothing new to this blog, but I decided to take the opportunity.
Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills is the sixth-tallest building in Tokyo and has an observation deck that provides an excellent view of the city.
I've been in Japan so long that I remember when it was the
fifth-tallest building in the city! (The Tokyo Skytree wasn't finished at the time.)
The bronze sculpture Maman has been a fixture in Roku-Roku Plaza for many years, and it's most definitely an attention-getter. Who wouldn't immediately pay attention to a 10-meter spider?
In the distance, Tokyo Tower was clearly visible. Of course, if you've seen any number of kaiju movies over the years, you're well aware of this structure.
