Personally I hate this building. Its at odds with everything Kyoto city is about.

It does sort of stick out doesn't it. Looks like the two observers are also contemplating it.

Couldn't agree more. It really ruins the neighbourhood imho.

When I left Kyoto in '95 it hadn't been built yet. I've been meaning to head back and have a look at it. some day I hope ;)
Good idea on the Eki series.....would be interesting. So much to shoot at those places!!

The eki really was an interesting place when I went through there...I struggled for a long time to see if I could get a decent shot of that tower and gave it up. Maybe it was just too cold that day, or maybe I just couldn't do it. Nice work though--shows that Kyoto isn't all maikos and temples.

Great photo, the ominousness here really reflects your emotional response to the tower. Funny, on the day I spent in Kyoto city last summer, I didn't even notice it.
