Chasing Sakura Day 3 - Tokyo Sky Tree

Assalamualaikum. Konnichiwa.

It really does take forever for me to finish updating my Japan trip. Kalau bertangguh lagi, memang berkubur lah cerita Jepang ni. So, while masih ada mood ni better lah habiskan. Few friends have been buzzing about the update(s). Gitu kan ayat perasan penting.

"Go read other bloggers' entries lah. Mine defo will take forever."

"Adoi, we don't know other bloggers. We want to read urs."

Boleh blah ayat ala mengipas.

Asakusa (Tokyo Sky Tree) Station

Basic thing, keluar dari train sila ikut signage to reach the Sky Tree entrance. And yeah, sengaja ambil deco lantai ni sebab cantik. Maybe deco ni ikut musim. Since it was spring, hence the sakura in pink decoration.

Entrance floor is at 4F. Sempat lah kami disapa angin ganas; to reach this entrance kena lalu outdoor garden dulu. Kiranya the entrance separated from the mall & joined by the garden at 4F. 

Before queue, kena ambil sekeping kertas depan pintu Tokyo Solamachi (picture before). The paper stated what time u will be taken up. And we're lucky we got the last slot; ingatkan ndak sempat. 

Masa ni baru tau without that 'paper', we will not be able to buy the ticket. Whats more untuk berangan naik Sky Tree tu. Panik kejap masa staff depan entrance tu tanya mana 'slot card' kami. Nasiblah boleh ambil secara walk in. Ingatan kena buat booking awal. Mendebarkan betul.

Beli tiket macam biasa. Give the 'slot card' to the cashier....state how many people in ur group...and bayar. Pastu ikut staff diorang bawa pi mana next. 

Ticket for adult is ¥2,060 (Day Ticket). This price untuk naik up till the 350 Floor. If mau naik atas lagi (445 Floor), kena beli another ticket. An extra ¥1,030. Ada barcode gitu kan. Scanned at the turnstile upon entering the elevator area. More info here. 

Inside the elevator. Lampu dalam ni lip lap during its operation. Leka aku tengok ndak sedar telinga sudah separa tuli. 

We arrived the 350F in less than 5 minutes. 

Before masuk elevator ni, ada lah penerangan from the staff but because they did in Japanese, aku ndak lah dapat share apa yang dicakap. Sendiri pun ndak faham, buat faham jaklah mampu.

Masa ni lah aku regret gila ndak tabah mengangkut si Blackie. Sob. Kesian bah lama sudah dia rehat dari beraksi. Too bulky he is, aku macam ndak kelaratan sudah membawa dia ke sana ke mari. 

The outcome would have been great if Blackie was used to shoot this. Masih regret. Sambil ketuk kepala sendiri. Nangis darah sekalipun, ni jugalah hasil kau dapat Bie. Noise berbintik² berselerak.

Part of Tokyo seen from atop the tower. 

That's Tokyo Tower. Boleh tahan jauh juga camera aku zoomed. Tapi tulah, tangan ndak stable...snapped beribu kali pun tetap hasil ke laut. Blurred gila.

It was rather difficult to take picture at few spots. Reflections dari lampu belakang satu hal. Belum campur suddenly ada bayang sendiri di cermin. Tapi reflection lubang hidung ndak da. Hai Syieda! 

Ms G told me the glass floor isn't as exciting & big as the one in Auckland. I think so even I haven't been to Auckland yet but I've seen her pics. The floor can only accommodate few people...and yes, selca pic will includes loads of photobombs. 

Dera couple yang sedang asyik berselca! Sila bagi peluang kami ambil group photo...but u have to help us lah. Pastu kami kejam main blah gitu jak. Bukan offer mau tolong diorang ambil gambar. Eh bila ingat balik, memang ndak patut! Apakah perangai ndak apply kaedah give-and-take masa tu. 

View from outside the mall. 

Puas ronda & cuci mata tengok Tokyo dari atas, we decided to called the night off. We were among the last group to leave the tower. On our way down to the subway station, few exit doors have been closed. Maka sesat kejap dalam mencari jalan keluar. Ikut lift, we ended up at the parking area. Luckily we're not the only ones yang sedang cari jalan keluar. 

And we found the exit entrance after berlegar few times. Dapatlah view Sky Tree dari luar. Purple the color was but I'll just assumed it's in pink. Bye.
