Wow these pic are just amazing. I've been a silent observer of this forum for a long time..this time just couldn't resist. The lighting for the night shots is friggin awesome...i think Tokyo is unique cuz its one of the few asian cities that seems to come to life at night. i have to make it to japan one of these days :)

whats goin on, desi. your not alone. Tokyo is a "real" city.

OMG !!!
I have counted the buildings over 150m in Tokyo that are right now under construction(emporis). They are 27 !!!
In New York they are "only" 8.

If i count the buildings with no high information but with the amount of floors, too. (min. 35floors) I come to 42 O_O

I find that amazingly surprising. This earthquake active zone is buliding more skyscrapers than the father city of skyscrapers.

Awesome Pixs everyone! I love the skyline at night. All those red lights on top of the buildings make the skyline so dramatic. I'd love to visit Tokyo. Very soon hopefully.

here is a unique question! Why aren't there any cities with a population of at least 12 million with a dense downtown area?( or even a skyline like chicago?)

most of the cities with that populations are urban sprawl.

do you think if tokyo had a skyline like Hong Kong or Chicago, would it be the same?

To be honest i don`t really understand what you want to tell me ^^

Shinjuku is a dense downtown area.

A city with such a size can have more than one core.

????? O_O



Something else .....

TOKYO MID TOWN PROJECT
Does anyone has a recent u/c picture?

There is a webcam in Tokyo. I watch it very often but since around 10 days there is a big crane in the picture. What i really hope is that it shows the crane from the Midtown project.
Heres a pic from the webcam:
http://tinypic.com/5ov3pi
The crane is on the right side of the Tokyo Tower.

nice, where is that cam at? as in the website

as for the question earlier,how tall is the tallest building?
and why haven't there been any skyscrapers built as high as the average height of the buildings in HK or Chicago? if that makes sense!

You mean in Tokyo? 243m

Because of earthquakes, i think. But Taipei 101 is in the same danger as the skyscrapers in Tokyo are.
Maybe the investors in Japan think that if they building higher there is a greater danger.

what about the Millennuim Tower project? it was schedules to built in either Tokyo or HK. and its two and a half times taller than the sears tower in chicago. I think discovery channel said that the creator wasn't sure if it will stand up to an earthquake. but with its size and design it should be able to with stand earthquakes.

I took this while "flying" over Shinjuku last night

the city is too crowded,the distance between two building is so narrow,can`t see any green ground from sky!!

It is rare to see so many helipads in the same city.
And this building where 50% consists of the mast looks funny.

nice pics doubleR

I really appreciate all the pics you post
you should post more often here


tokyo is constantly redeveloping itself

Oazo... I'll visit there soon ^^

Something strange.
After my second visit i believe that even for Japan, Tokyo is a very modern city.
Look at the pic of Oazo. I never find something like this in Osaka.
Maybe Tokyo is a city that doesn`t belong to the earth :D

Coooool pics!!!!
What part of Tokyo is OAZO at? what is Oazo? i never seen any pictures of it before! i will have to visit it when i go to japan.
I have to agree with Tom, tokyo seem to change everyday. i bet by 2040 or so tokyo would look like Chicago in I Robot, or Washington DC in Minority Report.

Have you guys seen this tower in Odabai? Looks amazing.

Odaiba Tower......

http://oberdorf.org/oly/Japan/O-Daiba/OdaibaTower.jpeg

Coooool pics!!!!
What part of Tokyo is OAZO at?

It's on the Western (also known as "Marunouchi") side of Tokyo Station. You can see in the pictures that the word "marunouchi" is just above the word "oazo" on the building facade. Another clue is that you can also see the sign for the entrance to the Otemachi subway station, which is right next to Tokyo Eki.

Here's a page which also shows the street location: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3037.html :)

thanks for the info. i think i should study tokyo rail system maps.

how did tokyo get so big? i know its a collection of small cities towns and villiages, but how did it populous get so high? japan isn't exactly a country of plenty full jobs hence the limited resources the

Have you guys seen this tower in Odabai? Looks amazing.

Odaiba Tower......

Yikes...hate to break it to you, but that's an incinerator.

That's the Ariake seisou koujou ( 有明清掃工場 ).

Kirk

Never the less that is the best looking incinerator tower I have ever seen.....

;)


Like a giant oblong mushroom sprouting up in Tokyo's reclaimed waterfront, the Ariake Sports Center is an unmistakable building. The mushroom look is enhanced by the fact that it's nestled next to a tall smokestack -- the modern-day equivalent of a tree trunk. That cozy relationship is useful because the sports facility's swimming pool is heated with the excess heat from the incinerator.

Not everyone buys the mushroom analogy, and some think of the sports facility as a spaceship. From ground level, that's easy to understand considering the ornamentation on the ends that look like thrusters, a lateral band of windows, and the height of the saucer section that makes it look like it's floating or walking over the landscape.

The Japanese are such modern yet traditional people (does this make sense?) They seem to be able to balance both extremely well... Classy and polite people too!!!

Tokyo is such a futuristic and surreal place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

World Class City #1 in my mind...

But... but... unagi is meant to be cooling! :)

of course--how could I have forgotten? But I usually avoid it--it gives me nightmares. Anyone else had that experience with eel?

Maybe you got an old batch of "fishy" eel? :P

I usually only have a little bit - not as much as you get in a whole serve of hitsumabushi.

凄いいい… What are those red lights in the top of high buildings?

It's "aircraft warning light",maybe.
The light to makes it recoginize the existence of tall buillding which obstructs it to the aircraft. :yes:

my computer cant write in kanji. what program do you use to write in those characters?

You can write in japanese with only Windows XP, you don't need any other programs.

In the config panel, there's an icon about regional or language parameters. You can install Japanese there. Search for tutorials or faq on google.

The red lights are common on all tall buildings around the world....The lights are for aircraft navigation safety.....

Thank you for the explanations. I really, really want to go to Japan, I hope someday....

And that pano is awesome :eek2:

どうもありがとうございます :)

my computer cant write in kanji. what program do you use to write in those characters?

Before I found out how to install IME (I spent many hours trying to do it :D ) I used other programs such as NJStar and Wakan, both have good dictionaries. I recomend you Wakan, it has more things to do than NJStar, but NJStar is more easy to use.

But if you want to install IME and you have XP, do what alex92 said. In regional or language parameters (I have the Spanish version, so words between "" might not be the same) In "Languages" Label click the button "Details". There, in the top box select "Japanese - Microsoft IME Standard". Then when I executed Word, IME was Installed (or I think so, maybe it were the Japanese options for MWord). To write in japanese Select it from the Language bar (doble click in the "Start bar" --> "Tool bars" --> "Languaje bar"). If you have a doubt please ask me. :)

AMAZING PICS

Tokyo from afar...in Kawasaki, right across the river that is the border (I think) of Kanagawa and Tokyo prefectures (if you look closely to the right you can see the lights on the river). It was about 3am or so...my friend and I were on top of a hill in some park. It was completely dark but luckily I could keep my digicam still and it came out okay (considering it was pitch black out)

Didn't catch the name, sorry. But let's just say I wasn't surprised to see thing like this so out of its place in a Japanese toy store...hehe

It looks like a dominatrix doll or the lead singer of The Divinyls,... We would never find something like that here in America... Too many hang ups.

The best part of Tokyo - The real central Tokyo (Chiyoda and Chuo Ward) around Tokyo Station. It's the old city center. It's the most expensive, beautiful and cleanest area in Tokyo. The places like Shibuya and Ikebukuro will look like crap comparing to this. All the shops, boutiques and restaurants around here are of very best.


Marunouchi Shuttle bus (free) goes around the central area

sorry

I visited both too... are you just basing your overall opinion on each city by the amount of skyscrapers there? that's kinda weird...

Seoul is alright, but Tokyo has more to offer for me.

Just to remind you, Soeul is a mega city too. Their desity and how wide the roads are.... its amagzing. They are well plan city then Tokyo.

So what? Seoul has a long way to go to even be compare to Tokyo, sorry but true....

Besides, this is the Tokyo thread... Who cares.

There is the first building which over 300m in Japan.
But the shape of the tower is......!

Tokyo looks really awesome :) nice;)

I've been to both cities and they are very different. Some parts of Seoul is somewhat like Tokyo such as Kangnam area but most of Seoul is very different from Tokyo. Also buildings in Seoul are much smaller than Tokyo in terms of sheer size rather than height. There are many buildings in Tokyo that are just incredibly massive. You dont see much of that in Seoul.

Also buildings in Seoul are much smaller than Tokyo in terms of sheer size rather than height. There are many buildings in Tokyo that are just incredibly massive. You dont see much of that in Seoul.

Quite true, except for maybe Seoul's WTC.

Huge buildings in Tokyo need that massive base of theirs to withstand earthquakes, I assume.

Very nice. I'm impressed. One question:
What is Tokyo's gdp?

Also buildings in Seoul are much smaller than Tokyo in terms of sheer size rather than height. There are many buildings in Tokyo that are just incredibly massive. You dont see much of that in Seoul.

Not all of downtown Tokyo looks like Kangnam ;) There's some old areas which need a facelift as well, just like in any big city. I find the main difference between Seoul and Tokyo is with the suburbs where most people live: these look and feel very different.

I said kangnam looks SOMEWHAT LIKE TOKYO. Central Tokyo is definitely much nicer than Kangnam. But Kangnam is still pretty nice, if you went there you would think Korea is a very rich country instead of having only US14,000 per capita GDP. This is because disparity between Kangnam and rest of Seoul is huge, hence why apartment prices run over US$2 million for large units.

Tokyo on the other hand, is much more uniform than Seoul. Central Tokyo is very upscale and the outerlying areas such as Yokohama is still well developed. Look at Inchon, its pretty underdeveloped for a port city although New Songdo City should be nice.

I understood your previous post, thank you: my opinion stands. About the GDP to compare the wealth of countries, I stopped believing in it a long time ago. I find this only gives a rough estimate within the right order of magnitude.

PS: Incheon is finely developped with lots of nice aparts/houses in most places, except for the touristic area near the port.

I wanna visit Tokyo someday in the future. Tokyo is amazing city indeed.

Nice pics of Tokyo! Especially that one of Koushugaido street and the skyline views of Shinjuku. Thanks.

Tokyo tower looks warm and attractive to me.

Japanese are experts on miniature city models..... Ever since Godzilla....

Beautiful.

I was stunned!!!!. How can they do that , Tokyo mini model?

Roppongi hill is really impressive and attractive. :)

Roppongi Mid Town Tower as for the 2nd November 2005

http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~building-pc/tokyo-kensetu/TMP101.JPG

That tower is massive.......

i´m in love with Japan

My favourite subway station: Roppongi 1 chome (actually this is near where I live) on Nanboku Line. This is just an amazing place. And the green glass tower, Izumi Garden Tower next to it is also very beautiful. Roppongi is one of the most sophisticated places in Tokyo for sure.

I just got back from my first visit to Tokyo. It was everything I expected and more. I love the fact that the world's largest city is lacking of many of the problems that are often associated with big cities, such as crime and poverty. I would love to go back - six days wasn't enough!

PS - My jaw dropped when I went to Roppongi Hills and saw that model. They also have a model of Manhattan there that is pretty awesome too. Those models were more impressive than the actual view from the Roppongi Hills Tower!

i´m in love with Japan

Great picture of Tokyo mid town. By the way, which digital camera were you using?

Also does anyone know the total square footage of Triton Square for all three towers and also for St. Luke's Tower (for both towers) as well?

Triton Square 131,200㎡ + 120,295㎡ + 101,000㎡

St Lukes Office tower 101,402㎡
Residential tower 70,847㎡

The massive Roppongi Hills Mori Tower has an incredible 380,105㎡ area :crazy:

Thanks so much for the response.

Has anyone done a comparison of largest buildings by floor area in Tokyo vs Shanghai vs NYC? I think this would make for an interesting comparison.

It is Tokyo's tallest...

Kenzo Tange is one of my favorite architects! He's so orderly and precise...Just like me...

Can anyone guess what the conceptual inspiration was for TCH? (another building inspired its shape)
I though Tokio´s tallest building had at least 100 floors...

Hi, guys. I just came back to tokyo after 10 years in LA. Is there any regular gettogether among the forum members in Tokyo?

Any updates on the construction of Japan's tallest/highest structure?

EDIT: Or at least to one of Japan's tallest/highest structures?

(Just found out that Landmark Tower in Chiba area is higher/taller than this one)

I have no idea what you are trying to ask....

The Landmark tower in Yokohama is the tallest building in Japan

Tokyo is really nice city.

Nice panoramas there... and the colours of the temple below Tokyo Tower, too! :)

amazing pictures!!
Shiodome is beautiful but I think it requires a building connection with the marunouchi and nihonbashi skylines...How do you think about?????

Amazing Shinjuku skyline.

Kunichiwa! Ohayo gosaimatsu!

Tokyo is indeed very beautiful!

Kunichiwa!

Tokyo is such a huge area of beautiful urban cityscapes... :cheers:

I just got back from two months in tokyo. my god, i am so crushed to be leaving, but i have to come back for university.

Tokyo is the greatest place in the world. i visited tokyo for two months and new york for one month in the same trip. no comparison.

anything next to tokyo seems like a small town.

^That's the kind of trip I would like to take!

Yeah i lived with a japanese family in Yoga, 11 minutes from Shibuya by subway. It was like a village. Everyone riding bikes around, hardly any cars. Beautiful trees etc, but still it had great pubs, karaoke, arcades etc. And the centre of tokyo was 10 minutes away.

It was honestly the best time of my life, im going back this winter for another 3 months.

Great pics....Shinjuku looks unchanged since 5 years ago.

All Japanese cities are underrated, I didn't know Tokyo was not just gigantic but also stylish

Tokyo looks much bigger than Manhattan

Such a fantastic, modern, clean city! I like Tokyo the MOST!

Fantastic Thread! Brilliant pictures of one of the world's most icredible cities.

Thanks for all these, guys, you've done Tokyo proud :)

すごい写真ですね。　
A good summary of TOKYO pix! Thank you.

東京の都市プランの主な問題　－　第三の経済大国、変なスカイライン

Although Tokyo is arguably the city with the most amazing technology, Tokyo is built with an inadequate plan. The Tokyo-do hasn't done much for the city's development plans.

We know that Tokyo has a lot of eathquakes but Tokyo could have been a lot better and more organised if Tokyo-do was more interested. An example is that Tokyo does not really have a CBD. Nice-looking skyscrapers are all spread through Shinjuku, Shiodome, Odaiba, Shibuya, Shinagawa... and so on. Considering Japan's economy is the third largest, its capital could have had more organised districts, therefore, a better skyline.

Whatever Tokyo-do does, however, individual buildings in Tokyo are very well-designed. I still love this city for it grand size, brisk atmosphere and great culture. Well the conclusion is... Damn Ishihara and his fellow Tokyo-do civil servants. They don't deserve anything

Hi, nice thought.
But just so you do, it is not that Tokyo has no plan. It is that Tokyo-do has well-designed plan, but never actually fully implemennted. For example, the Tokyo highway plan is only finished by 20% of actual plan. This is the main reason why Tokyo is the only capital that huge trucks are on the highway at the centre of tokyo.

TOKYO = Unique, Beautiful, Amazing, Fascinating, Modern, Clean & Urban















The list just goes on & on :)

Shinjuku is really impressive at night, Ginza is alos brillient. Tokyo is really dense.

I know that Tokyo people usually use mass transit system esp, subway and train, I was wondering if Tokyo has a traffic congested problem?

Pretty dense city but I like it and I think in such situation it is similar the city can grow only upwards

Interesting to note that
1. The streets in the photos are free of congestion even though they run through areas with tall buildings a.k.a. high density
2. Tokyo's roads are mostly 2 lane per direction? Why?

yeah! same question, why are there just a few cars on the road that run throught dense area like Shinjuku? Does everyone use mass transit systems?

1. The streets in the photos are free of congestion even though they run through areas with tall buildings a.k.a. high density

I can answer the first question.
There are two expressway companies in the center of Tokyo.
One is Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Ltd., and another is Tokyo expressway Ltd..
A major company is Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Ltd..

The road in the photograph is a Tokyo expressway.
（It is not popular. ）
