Tokyo with Soto

Bridget and I took a day tour of Tokyo; I like taking a tour every once in awhile because you will see things that you might not necessarily see if you were on your own. We really enjoyed our tour with leader Soto.

Some of the things that we did on the tour were:

Tokyo Tower Observatory: Tokyo tower was built in 1958 and the structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. It is the second tallest artificial structure in Japan measuring at 1,091 ft. There are two observatory decks one at 492 fett and one at 820 feet.





They had windows in the floor so you could look straight down


They gave us flowers as a souvenior


Imperial Palace Plaza: it is the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. It includes the main palace (Kyūden) and the private residences of the imperial family.

Sumida River Cruise : The Sumida Rive flows through Tokyo. The Sumida runs through Tokyo for 16.7 kilometers and under 26 bridges spaced at about one bridge per kilometer. During the river cruise you go under 12 bridges.
