“Seihoku no Kaze” is a good restaurant with a nice view on the Waseda University campus. I was there at night and the windows were wet with rain so I went back the next day to take this photo.

A few things to note about this pic…
The direction is east and basically follows the Tozai Line. You can pretty much see the above ground view of the next few stations from Waseda like Kagurazaka, Iidabashi, Kudanshita, Takebashi, and Otemachi.
To the left, in the far distance, you can see the mostly complete Tokyo Sky Tree.
To the right of the Tokyo Sky Tree (but still on the left side of the picture), you can see part of the Tokyo Dome and rides at Tokyo Dome City.

I took today’s photo from a moving train on the way to Nikko back in February. The structure being built out the window was the Tokyo Sky Tree, which was less than 300 meters high at the time. Now it is up to almost 400 meters. When finished the Tokyo Sky Tree will be 634 meters high, surpassing the next tallest artificial structure in Japan by almost 300 meters.
