Day 7 - Tokyo Sky Tree - Mon Jul 1

Went up Tokyo SkyTree. Sadly it was a bit overcast so we couldn’t see Mount Fuji. It cleared after sunset a bit however. Here are some stats:

🗼 Tokyo Skytree

Climbing Mount Fuji the fast way!

Here is a time lapse video. The trains look like centipedes as they go by. It captures a lighting strike about 2/3 of the way in. You could hear screams through the tower when it happened, although I don't think it actually it hit the tower.
