The TMG Building in Nishi-Shinjuku is hard to miss. Its twin towers are a symbol of Shinjuku, and entry to the observatories on either of the the 40-somethingth floors is free.

The surrounding area is Shinjuku at its polished-marble-smartest - a world away from the shabby backstreets of Kabukicho, on the opposite side of the station.

The above shot was taken from the plaza, looking up at the nearby Sumitomo Building, which is also worth a visit - because it's hollow. No, really. You can look all the way down the inside from the top (52nd) floor. It's ace.
