Tokyo Sky Tree

Rainy Season, "Tsuyu" started in Tokyo.
We'll have lots of rainy days for a month.
When it starts raining now, it pours down.
I'm thinking to buy rainy boots this year.
I have never worn them since my elementary school days.
But now rainy boots for adults are sold very well.

Last month, a new hot spot in Tokyo was opened.

The name of it is Tokyo Sky Tree!
It opened on May 22.
The height is 634m, which is 2 times higher than Tokyo Tower.

Many of you traveling in Tokyo never miss this Tower.
Tokyo Tower was opened in 1958 as a relay station to broadcast the wedding ceremony of today's emperor and empress.
The height is 333m.

Now many high buildings have been constructed and the higher tower was needed for transmitting.
Tokyo Sky Tree survived during the last year's big earthquakes.

Only people with reservation can go up the tower now.
After July 11th, all of us can go up!
But I guess it'll be very crowded.
I'll wait for a while.
This is official site of Tokyo Sky Tree

At the foot of the Tower, there are restaurants, shops and an aquarium.
I went to the Sumida Aquarium with my friends.

Can you see me on the water tank?
This water tank doesn't have an artificial oxygen pump.
It has just an equipment to circulate water.

Green is so beautiful like forest in water.
Thanks to lots of wild water grass, the naturals life cycle is working perfectly like under the sea.

Did you know there are some fish to change their sex?
There are some water tanks for such fish.

male sea horses raise babies in their belly.

Although it's not a big aquarium, there are water tanks for unique fish.

There are some water tanks for a variety of jellyfish.
I don't know why but I love jellyfish.
This is my first video on YouTube.
It's short. But I tried!

A mother seal is nursing her baby.

And penguins!

I enjoyed this aquarium a lot!

Then after that, I walked to Asakusa.

Have you ever seen this view from Asakusa Kannon Temple?
Now this view was changed into this!

Yes! Tokyo Sky Tree!!
Next time you are in Japan, please don't miss this!

This is the night view!!
I enjoyed this area all day.

I guess you feel like exploring this area when you are in Tokyo!!
