☁ A City in the Clouds

As the taxi pulled up at the foot of the Tokyo Skytree, I couldn't help but look up—

The height was a bit dizzying and a bit awe-inspiring.

The process of buying tickets, queuing, and taking the elevator was surprisingly smooth. The elevator doors closed, the lights dimmed, and the walls shimmered with stars. Music played, and a few seconds later, the doors reopened, and I was already in the clouds.

Tokyo unfolded beneath my feet, like a tranquil painting.

The Sumida River shimmered in the sunlight, and the buildings lined up like building blocks. I saw Mount Fuji in the distance, its soft outlines like the shadows of a mountain in a dream.
The scenery was so beautiful that I hesitated to speak, fearing my voice would be too loud and shatter the tranquility of the moment.

🍵 A short nap by the glass window

I didn't specifically go to the restaurant inside the Tokyo Skytree for dinner, but instead bought a hot matcha latte at the coffee corner on the observation deck.
The transparent cup reflected Tokyo outside—
The green of the matcha intertwined with the gray of the city, creating a painting.

Sitting high up, watching the people twinkle like glimmers below, I suddenly felt that life should sometimes be like this—
pause and gaze at myself from afar.

It turns out that all confusion seems so small from a high vantage point.

🌃 The night sky and the reflection of the glass

In the evening, the sky began to turn purple.

From the observation window, I watched the city lights light up one by one, like countless stars reflected on the world. Couples held hands for photos, while travelers quietly leaned against the railings.
I pulled out my phone to snap a picture, only to find myself reflected in the glass—
I had become part of Tokyo's nightscape.

Before leaving, I bought a Tokyo Skytree pendant at the souvenir shop. The blue and white ornaments resembled a miniature dream.
The cashier smiled and said, "I hope the scenery you see today will become your strength."
I still remember those words.

🌸 Tips:

1. Best Time to Photograph:

Entering at 4:00 PM, as sunset and night views transition, is the most recommended time.

2. Transportation Tips:

Stroll through the Solamachi shopping center below the Tokyo Skytree; it offers souvenirs, sweets, and a drugstore.

3. Special Recommendation:
On a clear day, stand on the 450-meter observation corridor's "glass floor area" for a breathtaking view of Sumida Ward and the Sumida River.

On the return taxi ride, I leaned against the window, watching the Tokyo Skytree recede into the distance.

Its light burned quietly in the night like a slender candle.

At that moment, I suddenly understood that the Tokyo Skytree is more than just a Tokyo landmark.

Its a place that makes one believe that dreams can truly be so close to reality.
