I suppose most people who visit Tokyo like to go to the Skytree as it's one of the most famous landmarks and can give a good view of the city. Since I was staying in the Asakusa area it wasn't too far away from my accommodation, but I was tipped off by a Japanese friend to go to Roppongi Hills instead to visit both the Mori Art Museum and see the view from the top where I could catch a better glimpse of the city.
The Mori Art Museum was a nice experience overall, featuring an exhibit about the future depicted in art and commentary on how the world will change in the minds of these artists. Now looking back it seems really fitting as living in this Steemit world tends to make you think about this type of stuff more than your average person. For example I've been thinking alot lately about how this platform and others like it will change the way in which we view content and how blockchain will directly affect every aspect of our lives. Once you think about this kind of thing it suddenly sparks new possibilities in your mind. Like opening pandora's box, after you can't go back.
On the top of the art museum is a view of the city that gives you the chance to capture Tokyo Tower with its red and white stripes. Since it was a little dark and I was only carrying my small travel camera the pictures came out quite grainy. Saying that they are still ok and I thought I would post them up for my Steemit followers here. You should definitely visit Mori Art Museum if you're ever in Tokyo. Even though Roppongi Hills as an area has a little bit of a bad image I didn't experience any problems and it was very enjoyable to visit this museum.
