Tokyo Tower
This place is just OK. After staring at Tokyo Tower for a few days out of my hotel’s window, I thought it would be great to go up the thing and, I don’t know, stare back at my hotel or something. It was cool enough, I guess. (Especially when the recording that played in the elevator while going up alerted us not to be afraid if the elevator made a loud bang as that was “normal.”)
I guess the ultra-cool fight scene at the end of the Cowboy Bebop Movie made me expect too much.
One interesting thing about the tower is that they’re building a new one that will stand twice it’s height and be completed within the next few years or so. (Although as the plans stand now, it won’t be painted a cool orange color.)
I have to remember not to expect to be amazed if I ever go up the Eiffel Tower.
