A
Tokyo attracts more travelers from all over the world with its buildings compared to its food, dresses and cartoons. Come and enjoy the attractions.
Golden Gai
Golden Gai is a collection of tiny bars. It has a strong visual appeal with its wooden buildings. It's more than just a place to drink. The district has long been a gathering spot for artists, writers and musicians. The best way to experience Golden Gai is to pick a place that suits your mood. Bars that expressly welcome tourists have English signs posted on their doors. Note that Golden Gai is private property, so do not take photos unless you have permission.
Tokyo's city hall
A landmark building designed by Tange Kenzo. It was completed in 1991 with a height of 243.39 meters. It has 48 floors. On a clear day (morning is best), you may catch a glimpse of Mt Fuji beyond the urban sprawl to the west; after dark, it's illuminated (照亮) buildings all the way to the horizon. Direct-access elevators are on the ground floor; last entry is at 10.30pm.
Godzilla Head
Godzilla, from the Japanese words for gorilla (gorira) and whale ( kujira), is king of the kaiju (strange beasts) that ruled Japanese popular cinema for decades. This giant statue of him looking to take a bit out of a skyscraper is a (relatively new) Shinjuku landmark. Every so often he roars to life, with glowing eyes and smoky breath. There's an up-close view of the statue from the 8th-floor “ Godzilla Terrace” attached to the lobby of the Hotel Gracery Shinjuku; access is limited to hotel guests and customers of the hotel's cafe.
Yayoi Kusama Museum
Kusama Yayoi is one of Japan's most internationally famous contemporary artists, particularly known for her obsession with dots and pumpkins. She works from a studio near this new museum dedicated to her work. Kusama is in possession of most of her works, and shows them in rotating gallery exhibitions. Tickets for one of the limited 90-minute viewing slots (时间段) must be purchased in advance online.
