There's a place in Tokyo called "Tokyo Big Sight". It's some sort of event venue. It goes along with "Tokyo Random Walk", a bookstore, in the general sensibility of the way things are named.
Anyhoo, the big sights this morning on the way to work included a garbage truck getting by on the sidewalk, a man lifting a boxed fridge off of a truck by twining his arms into the yellow nylon strap things that hold the box together, and small thunderstorms that seemed to target 50m x 50m patches of the city.
