Cool shots! Love the Nagoya TV Tower at night. Was that before/during the reconstruction of Central Park? So sad that they cut down all of those beautiful old trees just to put in another shopping area.

These photos were taken before Central Park was redeveloped, but the antenna at the top of the TV tower had already been removed. I loved that antenna.

Not very fond of those towers, I remember the one in Kyoto looking like an eyesore and keeping people up at night because of how bright it was. But good photos, your pictures are amazing.

Although this article does not include any photos of Kyoto Tower, I have a fondness for Kyoto Tower. I believe that this building, with its candle-like motif and independent monocoque structure, is a landmark that symbolizes modern Kyoto. Please forgive Kyoto Tower.

I will try hahaha, I will have to make another trip to Kyoto to see if I can come to appreciate it then.

In Japan of the Starshatter Universe, they have only one tower in Kyoto, but multiple observation grav-platforms. These look like mini villages, a tail of glittering holo-lights dance in the skies when night falls. Each week different holo-artist is given free reign of their main holo-projector so they keep changing, by staying the same :D
