    It's a great spot for taking photos, but those with a fear of heights might need some time to adjust. There's an elevator to the top floor on the left side facing the building. You can stay from the entrance until evening. We encountered rain in the evening, so the top floor was closed, but it reopened after the rain stopped, and we almost missed the beautiful night view. There are many restaurants nearby, but the prices are generally on the expensive side.

    We had a wonderful time at Tokyo Disneyland, even though we couldn’t spend the entire day there. We entered the park around 3 p.m. after returning from Gotemba, but we still managed to enjoy several attractions.One of the highlights was definitely The Beauty and the Beast themed ride. It was fun, immersive, and beautifully designed — a truly picturesque experience that we would highly recommend.As for the fireworks at the end of the day, they were a bit simple and not particularly impressive, but they still added a nice closing touch to our visit.Overall, despite the limited time, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would love to return for a full-day experience next time.

    Seamless booking and entry during the day. Altho weekdays are consider less busy, however the queue for each ride and snack bar is so long. The disney premier pass same me lots of time. Also once received the QR code from trip, can directly scan into the disney app for entry to the park

    A really fun look at the sets and behind the scenes of Harry Potter! There’s no rides but we enjoyed all the interactive experiences. You can even sign up to download photo and video memories :) recommended if you have an extra day in Tokyo. It is a good half day so book early and get a good entry time.

    It’s simply amazing how you get to see the entire city so calm and peaceful. For a moment, it feels like everything slows down—the lights, the breeze, the quiet—it all comes together to create such a relaxing view

    I got a free drink and a free photo. You can see Mt Fuji from a distance. There are ushers to guide you. I think it’s worth a visit. I would recommend getting a picture when you can see Mount Fuji around sunset.

    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.

    ① Sensō-ji Temple ② Kaminarimon Gate ③ Kimono Experience (I personally recommend Ayaka Kimono. It's a niche shop, but the kimonos are fresh and stylish, which is a highlight. The hair braiding skills of the women are top-notch, and the owner is a certified hairstylist. The service is incredibly emotional! 👍) ④ Rickshaw Experience (I recommend riding with two people for a great value) ⑤ Across from Kaminarimon Gate, the Culture and Tourism Center Building, 8th floor, offers a free observation deck ⑥ Stroll around the shopping street, change into a kimono, and take photos of the food while enjoying the food. Food is personal; the best is what you like! 😘

    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?

    It's a very spacious place, and the greenhouse plants are relatively simple, but there are some quite unique ones. The museum is small, focusing on seasonal flowers. Unfortunately, there were no flowers at the time of my visit. 😂 The sycamore trees are magnificent, with occasional visitors sitting under the trees reading. The lawn is large, perfect for a family outing. For the price, a visit is worthwhile, especially during blooming season. The staff are very friendly.
