For night views, we headed to floors 350 & 450.
The place was mobbed, hoards of visitors corralled into groups for queuing, ticket printing, up lifts, down lifts, the glass floor terror, getting aЧитать далее

I can't understand why it's taken me so long to get to Tokyo. It has shot way up on my list of favourite cities. Big, but not brash, a mystic narnia of techno niknaks one moment and shinto shrine toЧитать далее
