I hope these ain't the last of your photos, cityskyscrapers... Each photo certainly tells a story of its own. This is evidence that a city that does not vie for the title for world's tallest building can have so much charm...

P.S. Is it a law in Japan for streets to have tactile guidance systems? Where do they lead to and from? I seem to see them everywhere in almost every picture. Are there many visually handicapped? Why else would these be installed?
