Looks like those 90s anime scenes.
Tokyo Tower. There’s a vending machine near it that sells cakes in a can. As weird as it sounds, they’re delicious and made fresh daily. Last time I was there, it was 500 yen.
Looks like a miniature the guy in the rubber Godzilla suit would knock over and explode
Can we have a comparison shot with the area today?
All those houses appears so new and shiny.
Guess Tokyo’s inhabitants most have been through a long period of prosperity and good fortune up to this moment..
Six years after Godzilla
It’s crazy how you could see the Eiffel tower from such a distance..
Nature is truly fascinating.
I thought it was Paris.
From the 60s to 90s japan had an almost un paralelles economic boom and the corresponding property boom.
Imagine how peaceful it must’ve been back then. Crazy how fast cities change.
I wish we could go back.
I don’t think being towered by glowing phallic corporate structures is good for your mental wellbeing.
Um that’s france, Sweetie. You can literally see Big Ben.
That’s wild to see. I’ve been there and that tower barely reaches the top of most of the buildings around it. That’s the whole reason they built the sky tree.
wait so Tokyo Tower was built first before any tall buildings? its like straight out like an anime scene, modern x historical crossover.
Suddenly I hear Moonlight Densetsu. 🌙
This kinda blows my mind. They scaled new infrastructure and the city 1000x in 60 years. Wtf has the UK been doing in all that time.
Prefer this version to the concrete prison it is today
You see that red thing, right? That’s a skyscraper.
Damn Effil tower in tower. Sweet
Nice
This photo perfectly captures the essence of Tokyo, a city where modernity meets tradition.
“It’s time for a little aggressive expansion!”
POV: The Eiffel Tower took a gap year in Japan.
Is that really the tokio tower? I remember it being on a big hill, this looks flat
So where’s Nobita’s house in that pic?
This is wild. I was there in the mid 2000s and damn 40 years, what a glow up.
Damn it looks beautiful under the clear sky
Wtf ? They just decided to build an Eiffel tower in the middle of THIS ? It’s kinda weird to be honest!
soul
Can we have Eiffel Tower?
We have Eiffel Tower at home
*Eiffel Tower at home*
Wheres the rewind button

This picture is so perfect. Kudos to the photographer.

I don’t know what it is about it, but it looks kinda creepy? Maybe that’s not the right word, but there’s something about this image that unsettles me a little for some reason
