Huge monument stands on Oval Square in Toranomon Hills

As you approach "Oval Square" on the 2nd floor in Toranomon Hills, you will see the outstanding monument.

This monument is a public artwork "Roots" produced by JAUME PLENSA.
A combination of letters from eight languages, shaped like a human sitting on his knees.

It is a large monument that is likely to be about 10m tall, stands at a slightly elevated place in the square.

How to take an artistic photo with letters covering up the sky

When approaching, there is an entrance in front of the monument and you can enter the inside.
If you shoot from the middle of the monument looking up, you can take artistic photos with the letters covering the sky!

You can also take a mysterious photo surrounded by letters!
If you set the camera a little away and face up...

You can also take photogenic photos like this!
If you adjust the angle, you can get more beautiful photos.

Toranomon Hills is close to Toranomon Station

Toranomon Hills is about 5 minutes on foot from Tokyo Metro Toranomon Station and Kamiyacho Station. "Roots" have a presence even from a distance.

Tigers in the Hills

You can enter Toranomon Hills from the entrance, which is very close to Oval Square.
There were several restaurants, cafes and convenience stores.

And then there's also the white and cute "Toranomon"! (like a "Doraemon")
I recommend going to see you.

Summary

We introduced a monument made of many letters stands on Toranomon Hills.

The weather wasn't the best on this day, so my photos were a bit darker...
However, the contrast between the blue sky and the white letters on a sunny day, and the light-up at a night seem to be beautiful.
It was a fashionable monument, so I would like to revenge again!
