Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower seems to be getting pretty rusty now with the Tokyo SkyTree (which was opened in May 2012) stealing its limelight.

Nevertheless, i strongly believe that everywhere in Japan is worth a visit and this was no exception.

Sure it resembles the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but maybe better because, it's in JAPAN. Enough said ;)

so cut the long story short, you get a nice view up there. i was there in late July Summer so the sun was streaming in nice and warm into the viewing deck. Loved it.

Plus at most tourist attractions in Tokyo, there's this coin machine thing where you can customise a souvenir to take home with you. Obviously i had to choose the Hello Kitty version, it's a little more expensive than the normal but i won't settle for anything else!

That said, if anyone's on a tight sightseeing schedule, give this a miss and head straight to the Tokyo Sky Tree instead !!
