Japanese July 19-20 2002: Looking around Bunkyo ward and explore Tokyo Railroad Station |
|
I came up to an unusual designed building. | |
The unique monument is "Red gravity circle" by Haruyuki Uchida. | |
A spherical object at the entrance of Toppan Printing Koishikawa Office. | |
A close look reveals many characters from old days until today. The Print Museum was already closed in the evening. |
|
I visited Toppan Hall concert. The artists were Quartet Armonico who had once performed in Yufuin Music Festival. The presented me two tickets and I enjoyed the music together with my daughter-in-law. We enjoyed Mozart and other great composers music. |
|
The next day was clear but was very hot Just in front of the hotel is Tokyo Dome. |
|
The slope is called Shinsaka or Gekisaka. Ishikawa Takuboku, a great poet, had once lived here in Meiji Era, they say. |
|
The hotel entrance makes a good use of the slope. | |
I climbed up to Bunkyo Civic Center. The left green is Kourakuen Park and the right green is of Koishikawa Botanical garden. |
|
The grand view from the top of the building. |
The ward assembly room. |
Sky scrapers in Shinjuku district. | |
We came up to Tokyo railroad station. | |
The station gallery is on of my long cherished place to visit. We saw some exhibits in the gallery. |
|
We then enjoyed a late lunch at Tokyo Shokudou. It was very good. We have had a good day today. |
