The fact that this country has been building earthquake-resistant towers since pretty much the medieval era is mindblowing
-
These aerial shots of Tokyo are truly breath taking, it really is a marvel of the modern world pushing the boundaries & limits of urban development.
-
eventhough tokyo is the most populated city in the world and never fail to amaze me how organize everything are, from houses to roads and train line. it is majestic and beautiful.
-
I currently live in Tokyo and this city has never failed to amaze me
-
Another thing: Japan already has a supertall skyscraper, just not in Tokyo. It's Abeno Harukas in Osaka, which is exactly 300m tall. Yokohama Landmark tower comes close, at 296 meters, and it's in Yokohama, a suburb/satellite city of Tokyo.
-
It is truly amazing how a city that is so big, can be so efficient. When you look at other cities with Urban sprawl that have countless issues, it really makes you understand how smartly built Tokyo is. Incredible place. Love all the content!
-
Damn I wanna visit Japan at least once in my life.
-
I was in Toyko in September. The views of an endless city out to the horizon is truly like something out of Blade Runner. Even more so when super typhoon Nanmadol blew through with the rainy weather and the lit up misty skies. My hotel room on the 20th floor of the Grand Hayatt was solid, no indication of building sway.
-
I'm so glad I live in Japan. Everything is just so orderly here, like a bubble of peace in a world collapsing in chaos. Wife and I moved here more than a decade ago and as we see the news from other countries (and of back home) I feel like we made one of the best decisions of our lives to be here.

Tokyo is not only visibly developed above ground, but also underground. Plans to bring the current elevated expressways underground are also being initiated. Tokyo is more multi-layered than meets the eye.
-
I've seen this building in late December last year! This building is just simply huge on the Tokyo skyline, even from where i was staying during my vacation (Kawasaki), it was still a massive tower that looked menacing next to the Tokyo Tower 0_0
-
This country is just amazing, the culture, the ambience and also the constructions, only country and city taking care of its people đź‘Ź
-
A reason why I love Japan is that the country itself adapts to its environment. They're always 10 steps ahead, from technology to safety against earthquakes.

Tokyo is so efficient
-
I've been in Tokyo once - I took the bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo - landed at central train station. The station seemed like miles of underground walking on multiple levels. It was amazing to say the least.

Azabudai is pronounced “Ah-Za-Boo-Die” 👍
-
Of course, not all Japanese live in Tokyo, and there are probably some Japanese who have never been to Tokyo in their lifetimes. I live in the southern part of Japan, far from Tokyo, and Tokyo feels like a foreign country to me. The night view of Tokyo from the window of the large bathroom at the top of the hotel where I stayed was fantastic. And, surprisingly, I found the air in Tokyo to be very clean. I remember the sky was very blue.

Currently there is already a 300m skyscraper in Japan: Harukas 300 in Osaka.
