    Tokyo Skytree

    August 24, 2017 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 29 °C

    This is the tower shown in my first post and it is a 25 minute walk away. I'm on the 12th floor of this hotel. I left just after 7 (still 31 degrees) and arrived around 7:30. I bought a "fast combo" ticket for around $46. It's a tourist thing, you bypass the queues and can go to both viewing platforms (350 and 450 metres). The tower itself is 634 metres high; the first photo gives some background on its construction (one for the engineers out there).
    Much like Centrepoint in Sydney but with Thomas the Tank Engine, anime and seasonal themes. A video I took encapsulates this as well as the crowd. Unfortunately you have to become a premium member to upload video 😣
