citylikeyou — Tokyo Tower — Tokyo by Masatoshi Amemiya

Tokyo / Architecture

The Tokyo Tower is a symbol of Tokyo, and also it’s sending electromagnetic waves such as television waves. In other words, if it wasn’t for this tower Japan wouldn’t be enlightened with important news and truth from the outside world. At 332.5 metres, it is the second tallest artificial structure in Japan.

Tokyo / Attraction

This well in Meiji jingu is called "the power spots" from people recently. It was made by the military commander Kiyomasa Kato. It is not been dry from the Edo Period till today. So it is said that the well has good luck. People set up the photo of the well on their screen saver. Of course also me.

Tokyo / Shop

Visiting POSTALCO brought me to this area of the city for the first time. With a fascination of their beautifully crafted stationery papers, I went to see their other original accessories, apparel collection and selected books too. It's a peaceful corner to quiet mind and re-imagine our contemporary style of writing / reading / creating.
