Tokyo - Tamachimae

I went to Tamachi today, after having spent a while in Roppongi in the morning. From both locations, there are magnificent views on the Tokyo Tower, symbol of Tokyo.



On the not so busy streets n Roppongi on a Tuesday morning.

...an area in Tokyo-to, Minato-ku that is also the home of Keio University's Mita campus. Keio University in Japan was founded by one of Japan's most influential intellectuals of the Meiji Era: Fukuzawa Yukichi. Today, Keio University ranks as one of the top universities in the world in terms of business and economic programs.

The Tokyo Tower is modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris. However, the original looks better in my opinion.
