๐ผ How can you visit Tokyo without checking in at the Sky Tree? ๐ธ
What else can you do besides taking photos at the Sky Tree? Where can you capture the most beautiful views of the Sky Tree? Today, I'm here to plan a half-day photo-taking route for you at the Sky Tree! The Sumida Ward, where the Sky Tree is located, is also a core residential area in Tokyo, with many spots perfect for capturing Japanese-style atmospheric photos! ๐ธ Oshiage Station ๐ Take your time after exiting the station. Above the bicycle parking lot in front of Oshiage Station, a short walk to the right from Exit A1, is a hidden gem for taking photos of the Sky Tree. Only local photography experts know about this spot, allowing you to take uninterrupted, beautiful photos. You can capture stunning views of the Sky Tree both during the day and at night! ๐ Jลซmanbashi Bridge ๐ A famous spot for taking photos of the Sky Tree. Many of the beautiful online images were taken here. In spring, you can also capture cherry blossoms, which create a wonderful atmosphere along with the river and residential buildings. ๐ธ๐ Tokyo Skytree ๐ผ To capture a complete view of the Sky Tree from bottom to top, you must visit the Soramachi Square at the entrance. Whether you go up the tower or not, Soramachi itself is worth exploring. Inside, you'll find famous shops like Chลซin-ya (a ramen shop), Hitsumabushi Binchลtan (an eel restaurant), and Rikyu Tongue (a beef tongue restaurant), all worth trying! ๐๐๐ฅฉ Sumida Aquarium ๐ Need a break? Come here! Although it's not very large, it has a huge penguin pool and shark tank, perfect for romantic photos. You can sit, watch, and rest. Sometimes, there are seasonal events and exhibitions. ๐ง๐ฆ Der Koffer โ A vintage cafรฉ that has been open for over 40 years, just like the ones you see in Japanese dramas. Their signature iron-plate pancakes have been on the menu since they opened. The pancakes are super delicious because they're cooked on an iron plate, and the price is very reasonable. Their vintage melon soda is also great for photo-taking. ๐3-1-10 Azumabashi, Sumida-ku, Tokyo 6 & 7. Sumida Park ๐ณ It's divided into the Sumida side and the Taito side. I recommend crossing Azumabashi Bridge from the Sumida side to the Asakusa side. These are often used as filming locations in Japanese dramas and movies. In summer, there's a fireworks festival, and in spring, there are cherry blossoms. It's a perfect place for both strolling and capturing the Sky Tree! ๐๐ธ Okinawa Meat & Wine Nuchigusui Asakusa ๐ถ An authentic Okinawan restaurant where you can taste various Awamori (Okinawan liquor) and plum wine. Okinawan cuisine is similar to southern cuisine, with lighter flavors. Although the taste is average, the liquor is definitely worth trying. The Okinawan atmosphere in the restaurant is also great for photo-taking. ๐1-20-5 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo #HealingScenery #JapanTravelTips #Photography #TokyoTower #SkyTree #Inspiration #TokyoPhotography #CherryBlossomViewing #TokyoTravel
