Great views but … this is just more pre-Olympic promo articles, pre-written for the lead up to the tourists’ surge before, during and after the Games. (No mention of CoVid except in the small captions with the accompanying photos only?)

Mt. Fuji is rarely visible because of the terrible air pollution in Tokyo. The only chance of seeing it is the day after a typhoon or other harsh storm. The climate emergency has increased those chances a little.

NOTHING FRESH about sticking your head in a thick layer of CO2!

It confirmed for me how ugly Tokyo is. Concrete and asphalt jungle.

On a weekend, the combo ticket for my family (three kids) would cost 14,000 yen. Then you have to pay for food and drinks and souvenirs and .... It's also out of the way, so subway tickets etc. too.

It sounds like it's closed due to Covid, but the Tokyo Met. Government building in Shinjuku is free. I've been there several times. It's also a very striking building.

I love it how there are a few trees here and there.

Nice picture. Tokyo Torch will be the tallest, but Tokyo Tower still has the class.

There are many green parks all over Tokyo, especially biggest green park is Yoyogi park in the middle of Tokyo.

At only chest height to a Japanese lady, the outside railing in that 3rd picture looks rather low.

The picture may be deceptive, but it looks as though that's all that is stopping people from a long fall down.

I enjoy the beautiful view of Toyama Bay from my home, where you can see Tateyama and the Northern Alps on beautiful day. Seeing the beautiful stars at night enjoying the sounds of waves while you sleep. The wonder and the beauty which is greatest gift this world has to offer humanity and I enjoy it on a daily basis.

I agree with Snowy.

This is a puff piece which was designed to beat the drum for the expected rise in tourists to Tokyo when a ‘normal’ Olympics was supposed to occur.
