After receiving blessings at Asakusa, it’s time to see Tokyo from above. This city isn’t only about tradition—it also shines with modern landmarks: Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, and the iconic Asahi Beer Hall.
✨ Tokyo Tower
Completed in 1958, Tokyo Tower rises 333 meters, inspired by Paris’s Eiffel Tower but reimagined in Japanese style. Beyond its broadcasting role, it became a symbol of Japan’s post-war recovery.
From its observation decks, you can see sweeping city views and, on clear days, even Mount Fuji. At night, the tower glows in brilliant colors, casting a warm and romantic atmosphere.
✨ Tokyo Skytree
In 2012, Tokyo unveiled its new giant: Tokyo Skytree, standing 634 meters tall, the world’s tallest broadcasting tower. Skytree is more than just a viewing spot—it’s a hub of modern life, with shopping, dining, and even an aquarium at its base. From the decks, the city stretches endlessly, and Mount Fuji graces the horizon when skies are clear.
✨ Asahi Beer Hall
Along the Sumida River stands the striking Asahi Beer Hall, headquarters of Asahi Breweries, designed by French architect Philippe Starck. Its black-and-gold building is crowned with the golden Flamme d’Or, said to represent the “burning spirit of beer.” Locals, however, affectionately nickname it the “golden poo,” making it both iconic and playful.
Located near Skytree, the Beer Hall is a favorite photo spot, especially at dusk or night when city lights shimmer on the river’s surface.
Together, these three landmarks capture Tokyo’s spirit—a city that balances history with innovation, serenity with energy, and tradition with modern charm. 🌆✨
