    From a sightseeing perspective, Shibuya Sky Tower is definitely worth a visit. Located 229 meters above the ground, it boasts a 360-degree unobstructed outdoor observation deck offering panoramic views of Tokyo. From here, you can overlook the famous Shibuya intersection with its all-green lights and witness the spectacular sight of thousands of pedestrians crossing the street simultaneously. On a clear day, you can also see iconic landmarks such as Tokyo Skytree and Mount Fuji in the distance. Especially at sunset, the entire city is bathed in orange-red hues, contrasting beautifully with the gradually illuminating neon lights – a truly breathtaking scene.

    Disneyland #DisneyPhotography #Travel Today I checked out Beauty and the Beast, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Monsters, Inc., Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Adventure, Haunted Mansion, Roger Rabbit's Spinning Cars, and Honey Pot, and also watched the evening parade. Of these, I highly recommend Beauty and the Beast, although it has the longest queues; you can buy a DPA (Express Pass). Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain are also fun, a bit thrilling, but the queues are quite long; you can go at night or try to get a PP (Free Express Pass). The others are optional.

    I felt it was totally worth it. When I went, there was even a Madoka Magica collaboration, and the background music was fantastic. We also had lunch at the restaurant on the tower, enjoying the view while we ate – it was very comfortable. The staff were also incredibly welcoming; one even thanked me in Chinese before I went in! Wow, so incredibly friendly and helpful!

    Sensoji is a maginificent temple in the centre of Tokyo. A few minutes walk from the station and you reach this busy but royal temple. The pathway to the temple is lined up with numerous shops selling souvenirs and titbits. People enjoy browsing the shops, enjoying shopping and chit chatting with the shop-owners. One can even see Tokyo tower on a clear day.

    The 250-meter observation deck at Tokyo Tower is absolutely amazing, a must-visit spot in Tokyo! Upon reaching the top, the breathtaking panoramic view of Tokyo is indescribable. The vibrant cityscape unfolds before you, with its towering skyscrapers and crisscrossing streets, like a giant urban panorama. On a clear day, you might even spot Mount Fuji in the distance – a truly stunning sight. The guided tour is also excellent. The staff provides detailed explanations of Tokyo Tower's history, culture, and architectural features, giving me a deeper understanding of the tower while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The observation deck itself has a futuristic design, making it perfect for taking photos; every shot is a masterpiece. Overall, the 250-meter observation deck at Tokyo Tower provided an unforgettable experience. Both the views and the service were impeccable, and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Tokyo!

    The observatory is clearly marked; just follow the signs after getting off the train. Crowds are well-controlled, so it's not overly crowded. Going there in the evening allows for a great view of the sunset and the nightscape, especially Tokyo Tower. Tickets are more affordable than those at Shibuya and Tokyo Skytree. If you're hungry after sightseeing, I recommend looking for food on the first or basement floors instead of on the fourth, fifth, or sixth floors. They're much cheaper and offer a wide selection of snacks.

    The boat trip, which takes about an hour, takes in the breathtaking scenery from Asakusa to Odaiba. It's perfect for a relaxing cruise and enjoying the riverside scenery. The boat's design is very futuristic and technologically advanced, making it a must-see. 👍 For popular ferry times, it's recommended to purchase tickets online in advance.

    It's a bit far, so we chartered a car. There are speed passes available for purchase. But since I don't speak English or Japanese, I just had to wait in line. My private guide wasn't available today. We'll have the itinerary tomorrow. If you're not good at foreign languages, ❌ but have the money, find a private guide. Any recommendations?
