Tokyo is a city is a city of amazing diversity, and nowhere is that more evident than in its modern architecture.



If you stay away from one of Tokyo's main business centers for just a couple of years, chances are you will hardly recognize the skyline when you next visit. Tokyo doesn't just have one district of skyscraper and high rise buildings. It has several, each of which is probably the equivalent in size to many of the world's major city skyscraper districts. And Tokyo has incredible diversity in its modern architecture. From small police boxes and capsule hotels, to the Mori Tower at Rappongi Hills, and the huge office towers of the Nishi Shinjiku district. Many Tokyo buildings are very unique in design and shape, as compared to the propensity to build plain rectangular glass bricks in many other world cities. Of course Tokyo has its share of these, but it also has great variety. Tokyo is a good place to view the work of Japanese architectural firms, but the good work on view is not just Japanese. Tokyo offers opportunities to architects from all around the globe, so it is a great place to view a strong representative collection of modern buildings.
