I even found the Tokyo University of Science on my way back...
Then I got back to the Hotel and we headed out for today's new adventure...
You have to understand, not only was I excited to be there because I had imagined myself going there a gazillion times but actually being! there felt like a personal accomplishment.
Besides, I'd seen it hundreds of times in one of my favorite series (Air Gear), so just seeing it there was making me even more attracted to this place. But I didn't jump from the top though (as seen in AG), I'm not that crazy and! I don't have my ATs with me :P
We didn't get to the top because just going there (in Shiba) took a lot of subway transfers (lots of money) and just to get to the main observatory is 800 yen, which is located at 150 m above ground level, 600 extra yen if you want to head to the special observatory, which is located at 250 m above ground level. The tower itself is 333 m high. But we get to have a very good look at the metropolis from the main observatory.
Yeah I know, the view is amazing !! Irl it's a thousand times better (trust me).

Did I mention it is possible to see the famous Tokyo Bridge from up there ?
And the view of the ground from 150 m high is thrilling (and frightening):
Then we went back down and I gazed a little bit more at the tower before leaving.
Gorgeous isn't she?
Well I'm off for tonight.
Good bye folks.
