Broadcasting Company in Tokyo

Jun

11

This is the HQ of Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in Akasaka, Japan. It is a very large broadcasting company.

We have our data center at Fisher Plaza in Seattle, which is the home for KOMO 4 Seattle TV station. So I am used to the TV stations, but this facility is so large. There are many other buildings around to support TBS.

There are restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and brand name merchandise shops for regular people like all the TV celebrities and us.

There were party going on near by with people wearing tuxedos and dresses. I don t see that very often anywhere.

I took this picture this morning at one of the busiest train stations in Japan called Shinagawa. I had an appointment with our clients Kokuyo at 10:00 am. Shinagawa houses many large companies but the most well known is SONY. Their HQ is few minuets walk from this station.

I have found one of the best sushi places in Japan. It is called KAPPA SUSHI in Okachimachi. It is three stations north of Tokyo station on JR Yamanote Line. The picture you see is one of the popular set menu costing only about $10. If you have a chance to go to Japan, go there.

Leaping Flog

I saw this sign (art?) hanging inside the building in Akasaka yesterday. I thought it was really quite nice. I do not know the artist or if it is even an art. The building housing many restaurants. That is where the spoon was from. I hope I am not looking at the sign for a restaurant that serves flogs.
