東京のシンボルと言えば。

A symbol of Tokyo.

Speaking of Tokyo's tourist spots...

There are so many tourist spots and atmospheric scenery that you'd think you'd find it anywhere within the 23 wards.

Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, Roppongi and other downtown areas,

Historical areas such as Ginza, Nihonbashi, Asakusa, and Ueno,

A city where you can feel the culture of Shimokitazawa, Nakano, Kichijoji, etc.

If you include the core downtown areas such as Akabane and Takenotsuka,

The city of Tokyo is full of tourist attractions.

There are also "symbols" of the city that accompany tourist spots.

Near our company you will find the Rainbow Bridge and Fuji TV.

Hachiko in Shibuya, Kaminarimon in Asakusa, and Skytree in Oshiage are also famous symbols of the city,

When you think of Tokyo, you think of Tokyo Tower . Isn't it the most famous symbol?

Ever since I was a child, Tokyo Tower has been the number one symbol of Tokyo.

I thought it was a must-visit place for sightseeing,

As the city continues to develop, the 333m tower is now

With the proliferation of tower apartments and other buildings in the neighborhood, it no longer feels tall.

I heard that Azabudai Hills, which I went to the other day, is so high that you can look down on Tokyo Tower, so

I am reminded once again of the large number of high-rise apartment buildings in urban Tokyo.

Tokyo Tower's official name is "Japan Radio Tower" and it was completed in 1958.

It was the tallest building in the world at the time, and was constructed by the human labor of craftsmen from all over Japan.

Nearly 70 years have passed since then,

As one of the symbols of Tokyo and Japan,

It still has a strong presence today.

When I lived in Hiroshima, I went to Miyajima.

When I lived in Fukuoka, I went to Dazaifu.

If you ask me if I go there often, I would say I hardly ever go there.

I live in Tokyo so I rarely go to Tokyo Tower.

I only pass by it occasionally,

Every time I see it, I am reminded that it is a symbol of Tokyo.

I believe that many of the craftsmen and people involved in the construction at that time are no longer alive.

The building, which reflects the feelings of those involved, is also quite moving.

Just like with watches, I feel something is being conveyed.

This may be because Tokyo Tower is also a fine "vintage" presence.

I think I'll go visit the symbols scattered around the area again.
