Mori Art Museum

Roppongi Hills is the landmark in the international, sophisticated city, Roppongi. In the Roppongi Hills, Mori Tower’s highest 53rd floor hosts the Mori Art Museum. Roppongi Hills’ concept is “Cultural Center of the City.” This art museum has an important role as a place for people to share the culture of the era.

I went to the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo to see the Ron Mueck exhibition. The gallery was filled with huge skulls piled across the floor, creating a very powerful visual impact. Each one was slightly different, and up close you could see many details that gave the initially somewhat fantastical work a sense of realism. Standing among these giant skulls made me feel as though I had suddenly become very small. The exhibition was not only striking but also very memorable.

The Kyu-Shibuyagawa Yuho-Doro (Cat Street)

A promenade on a back street, one street off the main street, connects Shibuya and Harajuku. Part of the "Kyu-Shibuyagawa Yuho-Doro" starting near the Jingumae police box is known as "Cat Street," where many popular stores, especially among young people, are located. There are various theories about the origin of the street name, such as "because there are many cats" or "because it is as narrow as a cat's forehead” etc...

Harajuku’s Cat Street isn’t as polished as Omotesando. Instead, it has a younger, more laid-back street vibe. As you walk along, you’ll see unique little shops, trendy clothing, and all kinds of interesting storefronts, and you might find a new surprise around every corner. Rather than planning specific sights to visit, I prefer the feeling of strolling and browsing, like casually exploring everyday life in Tokyo.

Akihabara Electric Town

Large and small electronics shops cluster in this prominent shopping town in Japan. Nicknamed as Akiba, it is a popular spot not only domestically but also globally. Home appliances, PCs, smartphones, the latest digital devices, of course, but animations, games, figurines, model trains and other pop culture items are gathered here.

Akihabara at night feels like Tokyo’s “alternate-dimension” vibe turned all the way up. Neon signs, anime characters, and electronic billboards fill the streets, making it feel like you’ve wandered into a gaming city that never shuts down. It may simply feel bustling during the day, but at night its unique culture comes through even more, making it hard to resist browsing one store after another.

SHIBUYA SKY

An observation facility offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Tokyo cityscape from a height of approximately 230 meters above the ground. Located on the 14th, 45th, 46th and rooftop of Shibuya Scramble Square, the tallest building in the Shibuya area, there are three zones: "SKY GATE," "SKY STAGE" and "SKY GALLERY.

At SHIBUYA SKY at night, it feels like you’re standing on the heart of Tokyo. Below are endless streams of headlights and crowds, while the city skyline sparkles in the distance. When the wind blows across the open-air observation deck, normally bustling Shibuya suddenly feels very quiet. Rather than simply viewing the night scenery, it feels more like watching a city continue to operate in the darkness.

TOKYO SKYTREE(R) TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN(R)

Boasting a height of 634 meters, TOKYO SKYTREE is the world’s tallest free-standing tower which stands in the center of TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN surrounded by tourist facilities. The tower has two observation decks, Tembo Deck at a height of 350 meters and Tembo Galleria at 450 meters.

TOKYO SKYTREE looks like a blue pencil stretching straight into the sky, standing out prominently on the streets of Tokyo. Compared with the nostalgic feel of Tokyo Tower, TOKYO SKYTREE has a sleeker, more modern urban presence. Looking out over Tokyo from the observation deck, the densely packed city resembles a miniature model, making you truly realize for the first time just how vast Tokyo is. It’s not just a place to enjoy the scenery, but also the best vantage point for viewing Tokyo.

Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower was born in 1958. When it was built, Tokyo Tower proudly stood out as the tallest steel tower in the world. At a height of 33 meters, it was taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is located in Minato Ward in the center of Tokyo. Take in sweeping views of the city from the observation deck. Currently under renovation, it is always changing.

Tokyo Tower is like an orange-red bookmark tucked between Tokyo’s high-rises. During the day, it looks classic and striking; when it lights up at night, it takes on a touch of romance. Only when you stand directly beneath it do you realize that Tokyo Tower is far more impressive in person than in photos. This visit felt like more than just checking off a photo spot—it was like meeting one of Tokyo’s classic landmarks.
