If you have ever lived within the walls of a metropolis or anything that looks upon something you are indifferent to or dislike, you will know the importance and beauty of a good view. Ever since leaving Tokyo I have imagine myself living in a place that looks out upon the majestic intensity of a metropolis.
Yes, it is just the sun setting upon a heat stroked man made desert. However it is also the infinite realization of a million business plans and ideas. Money walks, drives, and towers above these streets in a fashion seen nearly nowhere else in the world.
I love Tokyo, because it makes places like New York look like a crumbling museum. This place is indeed a desert; a very harsh one at that. For the unacclimated visitor, it with either awe, disgust, or reject you with a violent intensity.
Yet this is why you should visit. For some of us might enjoy tumbling around in space someday or have an intergalactic "encounter", for most this place will be the closest analogy in their lifetime to walking on the moon.
Shinagawa, Japan
