When I went to Keio University for the first time for the orientation, I was surprised by a spectacular view of Tokyo Tower from school. Everyday, I walk to or leave school enjoying the great view and thinking that I am so glad to be here in Tokyo. Finally, I had a chance to to climb up the most popular tourist spot and enjoy the view from the top of it.
The tower is divided by two different levels of observatories. Unfortunately, I had to pay twice in order to go to the top of the tower. I thought it was quite expensive to pay about $15 all together compared to the free view on the top of Tokyo Metropolitan Government. For your information, the top observatory of Tokyo Tower is 250 meters whereas Tokyo Metropolitan Government is only 202 meters. I guess it is worth to pay to go higher and enjoy a better view. You won't regret it!!!
That is where Keio University is!
Can you find Tokyo Metropolitan Government?
It is too bad that I can't upload videos even after several tries.
I will try it again next time!

Hey Danny,
Wow, that's pretty crazy that you had to pay that much just to see the top of Tokyo. We actually went to Roppongi Hills when we wanted to see the Tokyo skylight. It was pretty cool, with a full view of the city as you walked around the building. Did you get to see the Diet building? Anyway, hope you're having a good one, and see you later! Josten
If you're having trouble uploading - can you try using YouTube or one of those other free video services.
Hawaii still has better views, LOL.
Hey Danny! Sorry it took me so long to post. It's been a crazy semester...as I'm sure you can relate! Tokyo looks like such a cool city! It looks like you've been having a blast...it makes me real excited to study abroad this summer! I am probably going to go with a bunch of other "Fishes" to France! Hope everything is going well out there! Jaime
Danny!
I loved going to Toyko Tower, but we only went to the middle level cuz we didn't wanna pay to go to the top. ^_^ I'm kinda afraid of heights tho so I guess it's okay. You make me miss Japan so much! BESTies missed you this semester at BH! =(

Danny! I was just in San Francisco to get my Visa (I'm going to Paris this spring!) and I met three people who studied abroad in Japan. They loved it so much that they ended up staying there for three semesters! I hope you're enjoying it as much as they did. Take care!
