Tokyo Tower is more than just a landmark. It feels like a symbol of Tokyo’s early prosperity. Compared with the modern vibe of Tokyo Skytree, it has a bit more nostalgia and retro charm. Especially when it’s lit up at night, the atmosphere feels really warm.

Sky-Go-LAND
Sky-Go-LAND is a Ferris wheel in the Family Area of Yomiuriland. Loved as a symbol of YOMIURILAND, it reaches 59 m at its highest point and takes Approx. 14 minutes per rotation. Enjoy views across the park, and on clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji.
When taking the Yomiuriland gondola into the park, you can already see the super eye-catching Ferris wheel. I started getting excited before I even entered the park.

Oshino Hakkai – The 8 Springs of Oshino
Oshino Hakkai is the collective name for Mt. Fuji’s 8 natural ponds, Deguchi-ike, Okama-ike, Sokonashi-ike, Choshi-ike, Waku-ike, Nigori-ike, Kagami-ike and Shobu-ike. Once a former lake, the area has dried up and formed the 8 spring-sourced ponds that remain today.
I originally thought it would just be a few ponds, but it had way more charm in person than I expected. The thatched roofs, flowing water, and Mt. Fuji all go so well together. It’s not just a spot for photos of Mt. Fuji, but also a place with a wonderful Japanese countryside atmosphere. Walking through the little village felt really relaxing.
