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 SKYTREE(R) TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN(R)
Boasting a height of 634 meters, TOKYO SKYTREE is the world’s tallest free-standing tower which stands in the center of TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN surrounded by tourist facilities. The tower has two observation decks, Tembo Deck at a height of 350 meters and Tembo Galleria at 450 meters.
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 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.
