If you are a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, you must come to the modern modern Shiodome, and you can see this big clock when you are out of the subway station in the Japanese TV station building! It was built with the design of the moving castle of Hayao Miyazaki's famous comical Hal, and the old metal texture is retro and magical. There are five times a day to play the whole point. The gears inside are starting to turn, interlocking, and the music is moving. It starts from 57 minutes and lasts about four minutes. Together with the illuminated Tokyo Tower in the evening, it forms a surreal landscape.

Beautiful illumination by Caretta

#2024wish Beautiful illumination by Caretta. Aladdin Theme made it worth coming here. You can even listen to Aladdin's famous theme song "A Whole New World" in Japanese version. The shows are wonderful with Disney songs! Initially I thought they’re only playing songs from Aladdin but eventually we found that they played lion Kong’s songs also! Lights matched perfectly with the melody. It’s totally worth viewing, despite the scale of the show is not as great as expected. I wish to travel to korea in 2024

🇯🇵 Caretta Sky restaurants

Do you know in most of the tall buildings in Tokyo, you can always find Sky restaurants on the highest floor. Sky restaurants refer to restaurants with sky views and they are located around the perimeter of the building. So, you still have to ask for a window seat and then you can get to enjoy the views while having lunch or dinner. This is a great alternative to skip the places of interests like Tokyo Tower, Sky Tree and other tall buildings to have a different kind of experience. This is also a romantic way to surprise your partners with the highest views in Tokyo. #wheretogo #japan #tokyo #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🇯🇵 Caretta Shiodome

Take the train and come to Shimashi station because Caretta Shiodome is a must visit. If you are here during winter, there is always a massive display of winter illumination in this shopping center. There are several high end hotels in this area too such as Conrad Tokyo and Hamarikyu garden is nearby too. IT is also walkable to Tsukiji Outer market so you can plan a day trip in this area. During summer, there are also many free activities for the children in this area and you can join in to play together too. The sky restaurants are worth visiting if you are here. #wheretogo #japan #tokyo #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🇯🇵 Best lunch views in Caretta Shiodome

At Caretta Shiodome, there are many restaurants on the Sky level but only a handful of them have views towards Sky Tree. Most of the restaurants open at 11am so this means that you have to be standing in the queue by 10.15am to stand a chance for a window seat. You can also come later but the restaurant will usually stop customers from queuing much earlier than their closing time. This is because there is a resting period after 2pm until dinner time. You can try this Hokkaido Sky Restaurant which I went recently. They have more window tables here and 1 pax diner is ok to have a window seat too. #wheretogo #japan #tokyo #liveyourdreams #takethattrip
