Post pobrano z: 24 Terrific Tokyo Photos
After putting together this week’s photography roundup, I am definitely feeling inspired to take a trip to Tokyo. What an interesting and magnificent city! Did you know that:
- There are 5 enormous cylindrical shafts underneath of Tokyo, Japan which fill with water in case of a flood so it does not to destroy the city.
- The 2020 Olympics will take place in Tokyo, as predicted in the manga Akira in 1982.
- The tallest free-standing tower in the world, the Tokyo Sky Tree, had its final height chosen solely because of wordplay; several numbers were considered because of their alternate meanings, they ended up choosing 634m for “Musashi”.
- Japan has nearly twice as many 7-Elevens as the United States, with 2,079 stores in Tokyo alone.
- There’s a hamburger joint in Tokyo called Whoopi Goldburger.
- There’s a skyscraper in Tokyo which tells you, using colored lights, whether you should bring an umbrella when you go outside.
- 45 of the 51 busiest train stations in the world are in Japan. The busiest, Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station, serves roughly 1.2 billion passengers each year.
