Tokyo Skytree

It was 4pm when I was done at Ueno Park. I was hot and sweaty, and all I wanted to do was find an onsen, but I knew the two hours I had left before my 6pm bus to Narita would not be enough to justify going to an onsen. So, I decided to go to Tokyo Skytree.

The Tokyo Skytree is located in Asakusa. It was snazzier than the Tokyo Tower, but it lacked the old school charm of Tokyo Tower. Entry to the 350 meter platform cost around 2,100 yen. Entry to the 450 meter platform costs more. In hindsight, I should have opted for the 450 meter platform as it probably would have been less crowded. Regardless, I spent a pleasant hour in airconditioned comfort enjoying panoramic views over Tokyo. Unfortunately, it was hazy that day so I couldn't see Mt Fuji.
