My friends and I went to Tokyo Tower last Sunday, January 18 to do alot of things. First, to visit the tower itself. Second, to do photoshooting. Third, to cross out in our list the places that we have to go to. So before we do anything else, we went to Yokohama Grace Bible Church to pray and to thank God for all the Blessing that we received. Then we tuned our cameras after the Morning Service, meaning, our first photoshoot was held there. The subject this time was not Dabbie, but my other friend Glad. After the photoshoot, we went to Kannai to eat lunch. As always, we ate at a store named 390 with Kanjis that I cannot read together with kuya Pot, kuya James, and kuya Aster. Then after that, we went to Tokyo Tower.

It took us 3 trains, 2 lane changes, and a 30-minute walk to arrive there. I was very excited to see the tower even from outside the train station. The path was inclined upwards so it was very tiring to go there. When we arrived, of course the first thing we did was to take pictures, with different angles, different view, and different focus. Then we noticed that there are performers near the entrance of the tower. So I took the liberty of taking some of their pictures.

But sad to say, the monkey was not that trained yet. It didn’t followed most of the master’s command. Then it seems that he is confused with the tricks. And adding to the fact that we wanted to go inside the tower, we were not able to finish the performance of the two.

We went to the ticket booth to check the prices for the entrance. But before we even looked at the prices, this mascot caught our attention. At first I thought that this was just a character that performs there, but I was corrected and was told that it was the Tokyo Tower Mascot. And I thought to myself, “It does not resemble the tower in any way”. But whatever it was, I was fascinated by it, and was happy that I was able to take a picture together with it.

Inside the tower there are museums, gift shops, and restaurants. There are a total of 4 museums namely the Wax Museum, Space Wax, Guiness World of Record, and Trick Museum. Then there is an aquarium in the first floor of the tower. Then the hangar, or the main observatory on the top of the tower. Theres also a special observatory on the very top of the tower, but we never went there. The ticket by the way only costs 2,300 Yen very cheap specially if you wanted to enter all the museums. Unfortunately, we cannot use the ticket to enter the aquarium and the special observatory.

Here are preview pictures of whats inside the Tower:
