    It's very convenient; you can just show your ticket QR code at the entrance to get in. I went in the evening and didn't manage to get a sunset ticket, but the view was still beautiful, so going up to see the night view was also a good option.

    Tokyo Skytree is one of the world's three tallest towers. We entered in chronological order. The staff were very welcoming and helped visitors get in early; the number of people was well-controlled, and we easily took the elevator to 350 meters high. The panoramic view of Tokyo from there was amazing! From 350 meters, we took another elevator to 450 meters, where the long corridor offered even more views of the distant cityscape. Unfortunately, there was some fog, slightly reducing visibility.

    This time, I saw Tokyo Tower from the 38th floor at night. The orange Tokyo Tower, set against the backdrop of the bustling metropolis at night, exudes both romance and passion. It's incredibly photogenic, whether used as a backdrop or the main subject. A city's landmark witnesses the changing times.

    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.
