On Sunday evening, after visiting Harajuku, we decided to walk towards our hotel. Around 9:30 pm, we reached Tokyo Tower and noticed that it was still open. There was no queue on both levels (150 and 250 meters) were almost empty. Our timing couldn't have been more perfect!
The view is unreal and stunning! The town continues as far as you can see and beyond. It looks like the mega cities in Blade Runner and Judge Dredd...but a lot safer.
Everything is man made as far as you can see and you can't help but wonder how much energy, effort and resources it has required. In Finland we put a lot of effort into moving towards a more sustainable future, but here you realize that our efforts are a speck of dust in this universe. Admirable yes, but the impact is very small.
The tower attracts small butterflies, which is surprising at that height. They seem to be flying around the structures effortlessly, glowing in the spotlights.
