Tokyo

На закате

Закат в Токио короткий — зимой темнеет к половине пятого. Лучшие точки: мэрия (запад, Фудзи), мост Адзумабаси (восток, Скайтри зажигается сразу после), пруд Хамарикю с башнями Сиодомэ, Радужный мост и Одайба со стороны залива, «лестница заката» в Янаке, названная за это самое, и Роппонги-Хиллз для тех, кто готов платить за высоту.
