architecture
A hidden treasure opposite the Imperial Palace looks set to go under the hammer for a high price.
Now that is an erection of a building.
This Twitter thread makes a great showcase of government halls you could grind EXP inside, instead of just grinding your teeth.
You can practically taste the nostalgia permeating this Taisho-era ryokan in Kagoshima Prefecture.
The new building is a feat of environmentally conscious engineering that will stand taller than Tokyo Tower.
Some would be glad to see the Asakusa landmark go, but others dread the idea of a unique aspect of local architecture being wiped away.
Previously only available to other businesses, the tiny homes can now be purchased by anyone.
This stunning work of century-old architecture has given its last tour allowing people access to never-before-seen parts of the facility.
