You can really feel Tadao Ando's architectural style here. The building is made from a million scallop shells, all pieced together by hand. It's a great example of harmony between the natural environment and living spaces.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, located in Shinjuku, is Tokyo’s centralized administration complex, comprised of three buildings: the First Main Office Building, the Second Main Office Building, and the Metropolitan Assembly Building. The First Main Office Building is home to a 45th floor Observation Deck, which is accessible by dedicated elevator on the 1st floor. In just 55 seconds the dedicated elevator will whisk you into the skies, to a height of 202 meters above ground and the sprawling view of Tokyo below.
After getting tired from walking around Shinjuku, it was perfect to come up here to take a break and enjoy the view. For first-time visitors to Tokyo, it’s a nice beginner-friendly spot.

Towada-Hachimantai National Park
This magnificent national park stretches across the mountainous regions of Aomori, Iwate, and Akita Prefectures. It consists of two major areas: the Towada-Hakkoda area, which includes the famous Oirase Stream, Lake Towada, and Mount Hakkoda, and the Hachimantai area, which includes Mount Iwate and Mount Akita Komagatake.
The park covers a huge area and is full of natural scenery—perfect for anyone who loves mountain and forest views. The fall foliage here is especially famous, and the colors across the entire forest are seriously spectacular.
