One of my favourite landmarks …. and such a great help whenever I get lost! We spent an hour or so on the viewing platform; we had left it a while so that we would be able to recognise buildings.

A bit about it …. Tokyo Tower, at 332.9 metres, is the second tallest tower in Japan, and was inspired by the Eiffel Tower. It is painted white & orange to comply with air safety regulations.

A few aerial photos above, the bottom right photo features Rainbow Bridge which we look onto from our apartment. Unfortunately it was too hazy to get a good photo of Mount Fuji.

Earlier photographs were taken three weeks ago but the last one only yesterday. I was walking past the park when I noticed a queue of people waiting to take a photo of the Tower through a rose bush. I wish I could claim originality!
