Hallo Keitaro!
A very interesting scenery - especially this architecture mix. Isn't it amazing that all these European artists are meeting there - in Japan...!? I like your point of view because it includes so many other buildings and details. But again, no blue sky although sun is shining - as so often in your pictures. Did you ever try a polarisation filter?! I think, a blue sky would add a lot to your photos. No offence!
Greetings from cold and an a bit winterly Germany!
