I am sorry to say that but Tokyos architecture is without any doubt one of the most ugliest in the world. Everything looks so bleak and 1980ies style. I found some interesting new buildings such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku or some new highrises at Rapongi Hill. Still, Tokyo is one of the most ugliest metropolises I've ever seen and I did not read any guide book before my visit. I also have my doubts about its modernity. It was pretty hard to get money there. Almost all ATMs do not not accept standard foreign ATM cards such as Maestro or Cirrus. Credit cards are also not really popular. Shops closes early and opens late. How modern is that? There are many things that sucks about Tokyo and just a few that makes it worth the visit. One of them are the people. They were really friendly, polite and helpful. Tokyo is really depressing somehow. I am sorry to say that but Tokyos architecture is without any doubt one of the most ugliest in the world.
