Final Day

For our last 1/2 day in Tokyo we ventured off to see Tokyo Tower. So after checking out of our room & leaving our luggage w/the bell hop we were off on our last adventure in Tokyo. Yes, all this time our adventures included a lot of walking and subway riding - again a great way to ride (stress/hassle free).

A little history of the Tokyo Tower...

Built in 1958, this Eiffel Tower-like structure supports an antenna that broadcasts television and radio signals for important Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. In addition to being a television and radio communications tower, Tokyo Tower doubles as a major Tokyo tourist site. Over 2.5 million people annually visit the tower's recreational Foot Town and two observations decks.

Our journey took us to the observation towers where you could look out and see the entire city of Tokyo (or so it seems) as well as Mt Fuji. However, this particular day it was over cast, so the view wasn't as spectacular. We also visited the Guinness Book of World Records museum & the Wax Museum. We wanted to go see the trick museum, but one of us (okay I'm guilty) thought we had to meet the bus back at the hotel at 1:00pm. So we made a mad dash back to the subway and then to the hotel only to find out we didn't have to be back until 1:45pm. Oops more time for souvenir shopping at the hotel.

Please enjoy the pictures.

Our love to all,
The Duong Family
