Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

West Shinjuku has many skyscrapers.
Tokyo Metropolitan Building is outstanding with twin towers.
It's on this blog's title picture.

Each tower has observatory.
It may be interesting to compare the differences of the view.

View is unique because you can see other high buildings in neighborhood.
These buildings may have free observatories.
I like the one in Sumitomo Triangle Building.

Because Shinjuku is located in the western part of Tokyo, Mt. Fuji is closer.
