When visiting Kyoto, people usually plan to see traditional sights like Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Gion, and rarely pay much attention to modern architecture. But seeing Kyoto Tower lit up at night gave me a different impression of Kyoto. The white tower stands out against the night sky, and together with the lights around the station, it creates an urban scene completely different from the ancient capital atmosphere during the day.

The 3D Cat at Shinjuku East Exit
Located above the East Exit plaza of Shinjuku Station, one of the busiest train stations in the world, the giant 3D calico cat peers down at passersby in a dynamic video display. Since its debut in July 2021, the lifelike, seemingly popping-out 3D cat has captured widespread attention and has been featured in both domestic and international media.
Seeing it for the first time really made me freeze for a second.
I was just thinking, that cat looks way too real. -

Nagoya Castle
One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.
Nagoya Castle is so grand and impressive—it's huge and definitely a landmark of the area.
