Old and New Tokyo


Hey! Wasn't that building in "Lost in Translation"? Yes it was. Everyone I know from the United States tells me so but none of my Japanese friends have mentioned it. This is New Japan. Just behind it and to the right is Tokyo Tower which was built in 1958 and is 13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower it was modelled on. It is a symbol of the rebirth of Japan after World War II.
