Now that the lodgings for competitors and delegation members have been confirmed, I'd like to introduce some top attractions near by. 

This is a list of my personal must sees that are within walking distance or a short train journey away from the Olympic centre. 

#1 Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building 

Stunning city views (FREE) 

• Directions and Map

Tourists both local and from abroad come to this building for the free 360 degree view of the city. The Tocho building has two towers, each one with a free 45th floor observatory. From here you can see most of the city and even Mount Fuji on a good day.



The best time to visit is around sunset, watch as the sun drops behind Fuji San and as the neon lights of Tokyo spark into life.

This building is in the Shinjuku Skyscraper district, there are lots of other buildings to check out and some good places to grab a bite to eat with the salary men.
