A western ward of Tokyo divided by a train station. West is highrises, the Tokyo Metropolitan City Hall and that Park Hyatt where Lost in Translation took place.
East is shopping, Kabukicho and a general mess which means it’s the fun area.
There’s an observation deck at the top of the tower (like most big buildings in Tokyo do) and I was able to see the New City Hotel where I stayed in with some friends on my first visit here.
Not that impressive. It is a business hotel, meaning very basic and very old, from the 1960’s.
You really get an idea about how big it is here and just how expansive the city sprawl is.
That’s only looking west now! Looking east, you can see Tokyo Dome AKA the Big Egg where the Giants play.
