I finally moved into my temporary apartment in Tokyo and was pleasantly surprised when I looked out my window. Turns out I am not too far from the Tokyo Tower and during the late evening the tower is colorfully lit. Whenever I make it home from the office early enough I get to hang out on my balcony and stare at the tower, it's worth it.
Tokyo Tower is about 333 meters tall and as it turns out they're building a new tower called the Tokyo Sky Tree that will measure 634 meters
(2,080 feet) high. That's a staggering tower
by any measure, for comparison the Empire State Building is a paltry 1,250 feet tall. Here is a daytime shot in case you were curious.
