Sumida - "Rondo" Sculpture by Charles O. Perry

Directions

The Rondo sculpture by Charles O. Perry is one of those places where you can beautifully frame the Tokyo Sky Tree. In the morning, the light is soft and gentle, highlighting the smooth surfaces without harsh shadows.

What I really like here is that it’s not just about the sculpture itself. Take a few steps around the area and explore the surroundings—you’ll find small urban details that work surprisingly well in photos. Just nearby, there’s a Lawson convenience store with a nice open view, which adds a very “Tokyo everyday life” contrast to the abstract artwork.

Best Time to Photograph:
Anytime works well here, but mornings are especially pleasant for softer light and a quieter mood.
