Lately there’s been a craze over Tokyo Sky Tree, the new broadcast tower in eastern Tokyo, but Tokyo Tower is still my favorite. I went up to the observation deck for the very first time recently, even though I’ve been to the tower a few times. It was a beautiful view. And did you know, there’s a shrine on top of Tokyo Tower? I suppose if there’s anywhere you’d like to ask the gods for a favor, it’s on the top of a tall, spindly metal structure.
If you have a chance and you think it’s worth the ticket price, take a ride up and see Tokyo from above.
