Been there, going back again - Survey of Tokyo's landmarks - Brief Article

Japan, Inc., May, 2003

Sunday Mainichi surveyed those places in Tokyo that impressed people enough to warrant a return trip. Ranked first with 33.8% was the Marunouchi Building, opened in September 2002. This was followed by Ebisu Garden Place (29.2%); Takashimaya Times Square in Sbinjuku (26.1); Palette Town at Odaiba (25.8); Sunshine City at Ikebukuro (23.4); Decks Tokyo Beach at Odaiba (19.7); the Yurakucho Mullion (19.7); Caletta Shiodome near Shimbashi (15.3) and Shibuya 109 (14.8).

One little bit of local knowledge: the 109 is pronounced "one-oh-nine," but the numbers can also be read "Tokyu"--the name of the railway company that dominates commercial activities in the Shibuya district.
