TOKYO, Mar 31 (News On Japan) –
A brand new monument emblazoned with ‘TOKYO’ has been unveiled at a staggering price of 160 million yen ($1.6 million) in Tokyo’s Central District.
This grand construction, funded by the metropolitan authorities, stands in Harumi Futo Park. Even earlier than its set up, the monument’s hefty price ticket had sparked controversy.
Park guests have voiced their opinions, with some expressing concern over the usage of taxpayers’ cash. “It makes you think… that’s our tax money,” one customer remarked. Another hopes for a constructive consequence: “Now that it’s here, I hope it becomes a new landmark for Tokyo.”
The monument is illuminated from 6 PM to 11 PM, providing a brand new nighttime attraction within the metropolis.
