I see the Tokyo Tower everyday from my office window. And I do get a glimpse of its imposing presence every time I walk around Roppongi. But until recently, I have yet to get near it.Unexpectedly, I did so yesterday.
I had an after-office appointment at the Tokyo Prince Hotel. Since I was not familiar with the address, I decided to check on it earlier. I was ahead by about thirty minutes, only to be told that the one I was meeting would be late. I didn't want to stay alone in the hotel lounge, so I decided to walk around. I saw a patch of trees and I decided to drag my feet through it.
And then came the surprise - the Tokyo Tower, with its lights teasing the skyline, was just right in front of me! So this was the park I was told about, where the best view of the tower can be had.
Good thing I brought along my handy little Canon, so the waiting time became shooting time for me. I just walked around the park, which was uncharacteristically deserted at 6:30 in the evening.
(the tower reflected in the glass panes of a building)
I did'nt know too that there was a temple near the tower. One thing that caught my attention were these little concrete dolls, lined on the walls of the temple. What they were about, I wish I knew.

wow! i personally like the photo of its reflection. i wonder how tall that is.
iba talaga pag spontaneous no? mas masaya :D
ganda pala ng view mo sa office =)
The little 'concrete dolls' you were referring to are called 'Jizo statues'. OJiso-sama is like the god of the unborn, or something like that. That is why those statues resemble babies.
Mas masarap sigurong pagmasdan yan pag may ka-holding hands ka na pa-sway sway pa. *LOLz*
turismoboi: feeling Paris nga ako eh, he he
dong: am not familiar with the height too. pero natuwa rin talaga ako nung mapansin ko yung reflection. sayang nga lang at di ko dala ang aking matinong cam.
carlotta: he he. oo nga. biglang me nangyari pa ring maganda dun sa pagkakalate ng kausap ko. :-)
Scion: Hmm. Ganun pala yun. Galing mo talaga idol! akala ko pa naman dati ikaw ang god of the unborn he he.

TOkyo Tower is also prominent from the viewing deck of the Roppongi Building. Magnificent site!
