The Bunkyo Civic Center, and its Sky View Lounge observatory is, as far as we are concerned, the best spot in Tokyo to enjoy Mt Fuji behind Shinjuku’s major skyscrapers. Open year round with free admission since 1994, the Bunkyo Civic Center had a rather rocky start and today’s design is actually very different from the initial one! the original building that was built in 1959 was not deemed to match future safety standards and it was instead decided that it would make more economical sense to come-up with an entire new design. Opening for the second time in 1994, the Bunkyo Civic Center, the administrative heart of Bunkyo, is a radiant compromise between modern architecture and functionality. If you ever have the chance to visit the Bunkyo Civic Center, we would strongly advise you to do so as early as possible in the morning (9 a.m.) or during sunset. Français Le Bunkyo Civic Center, ainsi que son observatoire Sky View Lounge, sont de notre point de vue le meilleur endroit pour contempler le Mont Fuji qui se cache parmis quelques tours de Shinjuku. Ouvert toute l’année et gratuit d’accès depuis 1994, le Bunkyo Civic Center offre un aspect bien différent qu’à ses débuts ! En effet, le bâtiment d’origine construit en 1959 ne pouvait pas répondre aux normes de sécurité sur le long terme. Il a donc été jugé plus économique de revoir son design dans son intégralité. Ré-ouvert en 1994, le Bunkyo Civic Center, le coeur administratif de Bunkyo, présente un astucieux compromis entre architecture moderne et fonctionnalité. Si vous comptez vous rendre en ces lieux, nous vous conseillons de vous y rendre tôt le matin (9h) ou au coucher de soleil.

Manpuku-ji is the head temple of the Zen Obaku sect and also located in in Uji, near the center of Kyoto. While extremely popular among Japanese people, Manpukuji was created fairly recently in 1661, only 7 years after the Obaku sect, originally from China, came to Japan. Because of its Obaku sect origins, Manpuku-ji’s architecture is heavily influenced by the architectural style of China's contemporary Ming Dynasty, and retains a much more Chinese appearance than other Buddhist temples in Japan. Finally, but unfortunately very difficult for most of us to witness, the temple grounds are laid out in the shape of a dragon when viewed from above.
