Re: Japan Trip Part I - Tokyo & suburbs
So, the Hatobus tour started from the World Trade Center in Tokyo. First they take you to the top of the trade center and look around the skyline of Tokyo. It was a muggy day, and so we couldn’t see far. But according to the tour lady, on a clear day one can actually see the Fuji-san clearly. Anyway, here are some pictures:

This is the same Tokyo Tower I posted earlier. Just some quick facts about the tower; built in 1958; it is said to be the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower and is 333 meters tall (lucky 13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower). And it is actually used as a broadcast tower for radios.

Not many parks in the city but there are some still left.
