The Tokyo Dome Hotel

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 1 February 2007 in Architecture.

This was taken of Tokyo Dome Hotel.
Tokyo Dome is the home of The Tokyo Giants a strong baseball team here in Japan. They are probably one of the richest clubs too.
This hotel is quite the place to stay if you have a big budget. On the top floor well near the top from memory there is an excellent bar to knock a few back and enjoy the view of the city especially at night, but not too many or you'll go home with a very light wallet as the drinks are a bit steep.

Anyway, hope you like this one.

Cheers Daz

Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand

Yep, love it! I used to stay in Narita village, and visited Tokyo only once - and yes! I did have a drink at this hotel!! Can't remember how much it cost, was a few years (and a few beers) ago...sigh, those were the days...

Thanks for the visit Bronnie.

Angles are fun. BTW love your sepia tone work of late.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

This is a winner. Very striking shot, Daz. Great angle, positioning and light. I like how some of the room lights are on. Adds a human element to it.

@Stu: Thanks Stu.
Went with colour today for a change. Sometimes need the colour to brighten things up a little.
I actually have 3 images blending here to get the desired colours.

Angry Buddha from United States

What are they $10 beers? Great looking building.

@Angry Buddha: Close enough mate. When I go to expensive place like this I feel money spent on a beer is a waste so I drink the hard stuff. Was around $8-10 for a drink.

Jen from United States

I like the angle up against the sky, looks almost like an artist rendering than real, so perfect...very nice shot!

@Jen: Thanks Jen.
I'm glad I can use a camera as I am terrible as an artist.

Bob from New Jersey, United States

Nice shot of an impressive building. The place looks super modern.
Being a baseball fan, I hope we can see some pictures of the Dome.

@Bob: Thanks Bob.
This place is pretty modern mate. I'll post the dome in my next post. I haven't been inside the Dome yet but I might make it a mission to get in there this year.

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

Love te attention to detail youve paid this compostionally. The diagonal hitting that left bottom corner perfectly. It clearly illustrates a fine eye.
