Konichiwa! Are you looking for a city full of beautiful sites, activities and famous landmarks? Then Tokyo is the city for you. And whether it's an aerial view of the city or the skyline lit up at night, Great Big Canvas offers a wide selection of panoramic prints of this impressive city.
Tokyo, the imperial capital of Japan, is the world's most populated city with almost 12 million people within the city itself and up to 30 million people in the Greater Tokyo area. It is the main business center of Japan and its many financial establishments and industries help make Japan one of the wealthiest nations in the world.
History has helped shape the city's impressive skyline. Tokyo and the surrounding areas were almost completely ruined in the 1923 Great Kantô earthquake and again in the extensive firebombing during World War II. Because of this, Tokyo's skyline is filled with modern and contemporary buildings.
Tokyo's skyline itself features 18 structures over 650-feet in height. At 1,091-feet, the Tokyo Tower is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world. Required flashing red lights on all mid to tall-sized buildings make the skyline look spectacular at night. The famous Mt. Fuji range can be seen in the distant view, adding a breathtaking element to the city's skyline. No matter where you are in Tokyo, its skyline is unique and varied.
