Tokyo Tower

I and Yusuke took the couple visiting Japan from Brazil to the Tokyo Tower. It was first time for me to go up though I was born and grown up in Tokyo.

The hight of tower is 333 meters. You can go up the
special observatery in 250 meters high. To go up, you can choose by elevator or on foot!

We, of course, went up by elevator.

Because it was cloudy from the morning, I had been anxious if we could see the night view. However, when we arrived at the top, the fantastic view was waiting for us.

The words dropped from our lips were just admiration.

The skyscraper in Roppongi, the ferris wheel and the Rainbow Bridge in Odaiba, the avenue in Ginza....
Everything I could see was breathtaking visionary. It's just like the jewel box.

The couple was very satisfied. The husband said " Even if I go back to Brazil, I will flash back to this moment here when I close my eyes."

Today is also the last day we could spend together. They told me I was very special. They are very special for me, too. We promised we will meet again in Brazil next time.

I was very happy I could go up the Tokyo Tower.
And I was very very happy I could go there with them.
