Shinagawa District Tokyo 4 Nov 2007
This is the view to the north from my hotel room. The Tokyo Tower is on the left hand side (with the sort of "barber pole" paint job). A few of the tracks and platforms on the north side of Shinagawa Station are visible on the lower right hand side of the photo. Not a good photo because of reflections off the glass. View from this hotel room was quite spectacular at night too, but I didn't think to try to photograph that.
This was a VERY expensive hotel (AND we seemed to have premium corner rooms). However, I suspect MHI (who made the reservations) got a special rate for us, since it didn't seem THAT expensive given how weak the dollar was -- and that this was Tokyo. MHI probably books a lot of people in this hotel, since it is so close to this office, so they may have access to a special business room-rate.
