Shibuya Sky &mdash; это не просто смотровая площадка, а захватывающий взгляд на Токио с высоты 229 метров. Здесь город кажется бесконечным, особенно если брать билеты на закат.#токио2025 #путешествиевяпонию #triptotokyo @zapiski_ne_yaponki

夏夏要努力！

There are not many people in May, and some projects have been closed. Reasonable time arrangement, basic projects have been played, 3 cruises have been watched, and there is an hour of photo time. The castle show at night is very beautiful, but the app is difficult to use.

I went up the Skytree for the second time! It was beautiful! It was worth going up in the evening, as you can see both the daytime and nighttime views. In a way, the night view is even better! Looking forward to the next trip!
