A Walk around Kumano Shrine, Chuo Park, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (Part 4) / 熊野神社、中央公園と都庁の散歩 （パート４）

Chuo Park is also located right across the way from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building  (which has twin towers) and going to the observatory at the top is free.  I've gone up before but since it was close I decided to check it out again!

中央公園は東京都庁の直ぐ近くなんで、また行ってきました。上まで登るのもタダだし、眺めも良い。

This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Goverment Building.

ここが東京都庁。

Tokyo Governor still trying to get Tokyo to be a future Olympic site.

石原知事がいまでも東京を五輪の街を望んでますね。

The following pictures are views from the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

下記の写真は東京都庁の展望から撮ったものです。

Tokyo is definitely a concrete jungle!

The tall building on the left is the Shinjuku Park Tower.  The tall building to the right is the Tokyo Opera City Tower.

左側の高層ビルは新宿パークタワー （２３５ｍ）。 右側の高層ビルは東京オペラシティタワー （２３４ｍ）。

The green area below is Chuo Park, you can also see the Shinjuku Niagara Falls as well.  The small cluster of buildings a bit to the left of that large yellow building is Kumano Jinja.

下にある緑は中央公園（新宿ナイアガラの滝も見える）。公園の角にいろんな建物がある場所は熊野神社。

That white triangular building in the middle of the picture is Nakano Sun Plaza.

写真の真ん中にある三角形の白い建物は中野サンプラザ。

Tokyo Sky Tree / 東京スカイツリー

I forget what that funky building in the foreground is.  (A couple of my blog followers informed me that the building is the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower - thank you friends!)

一番前にある建物はなんだか忘れた。

That building that looks like the Empire State Building is the NTT DoCoMo Yoyogi Building (240M).
You can see the Tokyo Tower to the right (next to the left of the tall black building).

ニューヨークのエンパイヤステートに似てるビルはＮＴＴドコモ代々木ビルです。東京タワーも写ってますよ（黒ビルの左側）。

Its very difficult to tell, but I tried to capture a picture with both the Tokyo Sky Tree and the Tokyo Tower.

超見にくいですが、東京スカイツリーと東京タワーが入る様な写真を撮りたかった。

Next, its off to lunch and my next area of walking.

次は昼食と新たな散歩場所。
