TOKYO TURNS TO ROOFTOP GARDENS TO BEAT THE HEAT

At a run-down three-story office block in downtown Tokyo,

government clerks and secretaries cool off among azaleas,

hydrangeas, and even blueberry bushes during coffee breaks,

seemingly far away from the sweltering urban heat. The garden

is not a perk for bureaucrats or reckless use of taxes in

a city with some of the world's priciest real estate. It's

on the roof and, what's more, it's saving money.
