111 places in Tokyo that you shouldn't miss.

An unfinished challenge.  111 things that you shouldn't miss in Tokyo - a book with interesting ideas  and unusual places to visit across Tokyo.  An unfinished challenge.  Kaminoge station (near school) is one of the places described in the book and one I visited this week.  The smooth round roof and circular hole over the road make it an iconic building - one designed by one of my favourite Japanese architects Tadao Ando.

Ando explained in an interview that he believes “architecture is something to be experienced with all five senses – not just the eyes.” His work is iconic and recognizable, but at the same time, it never feels cookie-cutter, and there’s plenty of conscientious reasoning behind this. Ando’s work has a strong foundational ideology, which he calls pure geometry. While imagining each piece he creates, attention to the detail of the building’s natural surroundings dictate the shape of the outcome.
