Sky Garden Observatory
Description
Sky Garden Observatory is located on the 69th floor of Japan's tallest skyscraper, , in futuristic Minato Mirai 21, Yokohama's showcase community of sleek high-rise buildings, ultramodern shopping malls, museums, hotels, convention centers, office buildings, and homes. There is even an amusement park with a huge Ferris Wheel that is perfect for sightseeing. From the observatory, on a clear day you can see Mt. Fuji, the skyscrapers in Nishi Shinjuku, and the far reaches of the Tokyo Bay. The world's fastest elevator takes only 40 seconds to carry you aloft the 900 feet to the observatory.
I went during the day on a very clear day and the view was breathtaking. I have yet to go for the night view but I intend to go back for another daytime visit. Last time I couldn't see Mount Fuji as it was covered in cloud.
JAPAN IN ITSELF IS AMAZING! GOING TO THE SKY TOWER WAS ONE OF THE MANY GREAT THINGS TO EXPIERENCE! THE BUILDING IS BEAUTIFUL AND ENORMOUS! OTHER THAN THE FANTASTIC VIEW, THE "ELEVATOR" RIDE UP WAS ONE TO NEVER FORGET!!
