Tokyo

After departing the United States on June 28 (with Catherine’s blessing), I arrived in Tokyo on Monday,  June 29. I stayed at the Space Hostel Tokyo, a very comfortable, clean, and modern hostel in the Asakusa area of Tokyo. Once rested and settled in, I proceeded to visit the Tokyo Sky Tree.

The Sky Tree is 2,080 ft. tall, making it the tallest tower in the world, and the second tallest building in the world as of 2015. There are two observation decks, one at 1,150 ft., and the other at 1,480 ft. The upper observation deck features a spiral, glass-covered walkway which brings you to the top of the observatory level. The views were incredible and there was even a glass covered floor where you could stand and look straight down to ground level.
