Tokyo from the Mori Art Museum. While much of the residential architecture in Tokyo is mostly just functional, there are many small city parks, and an occasional very interesting building.

One of the multi-sensory experiences at the TeamLab Planets where "seamless artworks transcend boundaries and transform space". We may have a few more surrealistic photos to add later.
