In June 2025, we bought tickets to go up to the TOKYO SKYTREE observation deck. Since we were eating vegetarian at the time, we went to a vegetarian restaurant, and on the walk over we found a small park where you can also see the TOKYO SKYTREE.
It was an unexpected little bonus and a really special experience on our trip.

Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower was born in 1958. When it was built, Tokyo Tower proudly stood out as the tallest steel tower in the world. At a height of 33 meters, it was taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is located in Minato Ward in the center of Tokyo. Take in sweeping views of the city from the observation deck. Currently under renovation, it is always changing.
In June 2025, we took a local bus in Japan and got off at a stop near Tokyo Tower. We walked the rest of the way and enjoyed taking in Tokyo Tower along the route.
I especially loved the second photo. Even though Tokyo Skytree was partly blocked by lush green trees, it didn’t take away from Tokyo Tower’s vibe—it actually made it feel really unique. -

Tokyo Dome City
This is a huge leisure facility complex that is centered around Tokyo Dome, which is famous as a baseball stadium. An amusement park, restaurants, shops and a hotel surround the massive Tokyo Dome.
In June 2026, I attended a baseball game at Tokyo Dome for the first time. The atmosphere was lively, and I really loved the music too. I also bought a jersey. Tokyo Dome looked beautiful at night—it was a rare, memorable experience.

Ueno Park
Ueno Park, officially known as "Ueno Onshi Park," is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo. Managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Construction Bureau, the park spans an impressive area of 530,000 square meters and has a rich history.
In June 2025, my husband and I visited Ueno Onshi Park and really loved the natural vibe. It was a Monday when the museums were closed, so there weren’t many visitors.
That day we had blue skies and fluffy clouds, and the lotus flowers were just about to bloom. We also stopped by the Starbucks there to try some desserts and drinks. It was a relaxing, easygoing day. -
