This is the Shinjuku district and you can also see the 'Empire State Vuilding', a smaller copy of the New York ESB which is home to telecoms company NTT. Great shot. I love Tokyo and there's quite a few pics on my website of some of my trips there. The twin towers in the shot, bottom left, have viewing platforms in the top and the view is superb.

It's a beautiful place to spend an afternoon wandering around... I enjoyed taking a stroll down memory lane by looking at the satellite photographs. Thank you!

Looks like there is some sort of mining going on just above it. I can't figure it out. Does anyone know what this is?

Is that a satellite thing, because Tokyo is so far from the equator, or are these more aerial photos? Speaking of Aerial, there's a plane about to land at one of Tokyo's many busy airports not far off: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.687964,139.697197&spn=0.010083,0.015044&t=k&hl=en I had always heard that Tokyo was crowded - but wow! How does anyone ever get around in this burg? I guess having a train station that handles 4 million passengers a day helps. :-) Otter Definitely one of the most enjoyable city shots I’ve seen so far, because of the angle.

Written in Japanese though... I tried finding an address on it, but that didn't work for me (using both English or Japanese).
