Tokyo sky tree is the highest at the globe video construction at the Tokyo region of Sumida, would take the earth’s tallest system when it is finished in 2011. Originally named New Tokyo construction, it is 610-meter-high(634 meters)wireless video transmitter structure that can be used by NHK and five commercial television stations. This structure would be higher than 333-meter-high Tokyo Tower and the earth tallest freestanding system, the 553-meter-high CN Tower at Toronto.

Made by Tobu line, Tokyo Sky Tree is required to be ¥50 billion, Building was scheduled to start in 2008. NHK and these five technical broadcasters intend to take it for transmissions when they permanently switch from analogue to terrestrial digital telecommunication. Among things that even need to be brought out are air limitations that determine the structure’s dimension.

Tokyo Sky Tree has two observation decks: one is called Tembo Deck Floor 350, where you can enjoy the view of Tokyo with 360 degrees, and the other one is called Tembo Galleria Floor 450, where you take a shuttle ride to a special space where you get to walk around and look at the beautiful night view of Tokyo.

The sky tree rises in the sky with deforming into a circle gradually reducing the force of the wind gradually while stabilizing the structure with the bottom as an equilateral triangle. In the center of the tower, a 375 m reinforced concrete “core pillar” is arranged longer than the Tokyo Tower, and the outer cylinder and this “core column” are also devised to counteract the earthquake shake. This mechanism leads to the structure of the five-storied pagoda cultivated in a long history.

The image of the tower in the ancient to the east and west tends to be a city icon. Ryounkaku of Meiji and Taisho, Tokyo Tower of Showa, and Heisei Sky Tree. The genealogy of icons of modern Tokyo is still inherited indeed.

You may have gone to an anime convention back home. Why not
go to one in the country that started it all? AnimeJapan (formerly known as
Tokyo International Anime Fair) that held at Tokyo Big Sight Odaiba, has
everything you’d expect: exhibitions, goods, special anime-business
collaborations, and stage appearances and performances by some of the biggest
names in the industry. This year’s theme is Rock – but as the poster small
print helpfully notes, this is not a music concert! The event is split into two
parts – the 23rd and 24th are public days and the 25th and 26th are ‘business
days’ which is a good idea if you’re interested in the industry. Note that
usually it’s the other way round, with business days help leading up to the
event, but this year it’s afterwards.

The majority of the floor space at Tokyo Big Sight is
devoted to exhibition space featuring numerous booths by Japanese production
companies, such as Toei Animation, Bandai Namco and Tezuka Productions, as well
as foreign companies from around the world. Larger booths feature their own
theaters and stages, and host live shows and special appearances by anime and
manga creators as well as character actors that voice the parts.

Various events, including performances, interviews and
announcements will be held at the exhibition's main event stages, some of which
require reservations. Another area is devoted to cosplaying where tradeshow
visitors are encouraged to show off their cosplay outfits. Other attractions
include anime-related workshops and seminars, anime goods shops and a food
park.

A note to cosplayers, you have to pay a fee (¥1,000). BUT,
you do get to enjoy access to a changing room and a luggage storage service
that sweetens the deal.

Admission is free for children 12 years old and under.
Tickets are also valid for one day only, so if you want to go both days
you’ll have to cough up more cash.

It is really recommended to come at least
once in a lifetime as the event will be a great memorable experience.

What do you think? do you like to come to
the event?

Tokyo Tower is designed to represent the revival of Japan’s economic power after world war 2, and is 13 meters high 43 feet tall from France cousin. It is known as a television tower which was built in 1958, about 70 years after the completion of Eiffel tower.

The tower used to be the main television and radio station in Kanto area. But since it is surrounded by all the tall buildings, old Tokyo Tower no longer provide full digital land TV broadcasting coverage. It is an iconic symbol on the city. Every five years Tokyo tower is being renovated in a process. From here, you can see the magnificent panorama of Tokyo and even the snowy peaks of Fuji mountain during daytime, and night, reflecting on a city’s starry sky.

Since its beginning at 1958, it has grow easily understood to visitors in this globe, not just as one of tokyo’s nine TV and four FM broadcasting stations are broadcasted thoughout the whole metropolitan region from Tokyo construction. Several gauges and tools mounted on side of the structure observe the shape of the atmosphere over Tokyo and the traffic conditions in the streets below. The lights of Tokyo construction, suspending it beautifully at the night sky, are made up of 164 flowing lights installed on these different components of this structure. Even now, Tokyo Tower is still the main landmark of the Tokyo city.

One of Japan’s most favorite broadcasting stations is Fuji Television and its force is undoubtedly the sign of Odaiba. The portion of the business is welcoming the world for a small entry fee, including the Odaiba. The particular recommendation is driving the see-through boat-there are just four out of 64 Ferris wheel gondolas in total. Select your favorite gondola and jump in!

If you take this experience, working on Odaiba land is one of the greatest runs in Tokyo. Odaiba is an artificial land at Tokyo Bay. Initially made at the 1850s for defense, it was revitalized in the 1990s as the residential, trade, and leisure centre. This is one of the few chances to go along the ocean, and there are good ways for working, bringing in water views and pleasing greenery. There are obvious classes of 5k and 7k, beginning in Odaiba Seaside stadium, to this construction and at it. Many hotels at this earth have arrangements where you will get the things and party.

Yoyogi park is one of the most famous parks and also the largest parks in Tokyo which is 54.1hectares. Yoyogi Park is a 5minutes walk from Harajuku
Station on the JR Yamanote Line. It is located next to Meiji Shrine.

It was officially
established in 1967 but it has a lot of history. Yoyogi park is the heart of
Tokyo. On the weekend, it was used as a gathering place for Japanese rock music
enthusiasts, jugglers, comedians, martial arts clubs, roll actors and other
subculture and hobby groups. In the spring, thousands of people visit the park
and enjoy cherry blossoms while watching Hanami.

The beautiful park has
picnic area, bike trails, bicycle rental and a public sports court. Tokyo
failed to bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, including the reconstruction of
Yoyogi Park.  A new volleyball court has
been built west of the Yoyogi National Stadium. It will replace the existing
football field and sports world. The stadium will remain as a multipurpose
venue for handball competition.

Previously there was a military parade and was a Japanese military base that was invaded by the United States. In 1964, the Games played an important role in the Tokyo Olympic Games. The Yoyogi National Gymnasium was created for this event and the main spots village was a park. In recent years, the park has been closed due to dengue outbreak in 2014. Today, the Yoyogi park is divided into two sections and separated by the road. One part is the Forest park, the other is far away and the stadium. The first is that people are usually fry and picnic, both of which make it convenient for the event, it is not possible to miss a holiday in Yoyogi.

If you don't want to miss the fantasy cherry blossoms this year, be sure to go to Yoyogi Park when you travel in Tokyo. It won't let you down.

Do you want to try good sake? Try to come
to the Craft Sake Week that held at Roppongi Hills and discover the world of
new Japanese traditional drink. There are 110 sake breweries in a week in
total, and everyday there are various sake from these unique breweries. Gourmet
also should know that there will be a several gourmet restaurant that
participate with their best works during the weeks of celebration.

Craft Sake Week was held in Roppongi from
2016. Produced by Kraft Sake Company of Japan, led by Hidetoshi Nakada who has
tried over 300 brand of sake. The event is known as “the place where people
enjoy and understand top brands”. Each day of the event has its own theme, led
by 10 different sake breweries. All brands are equally valued and participants
can find their favorite brands and sake-makers.

All of the sake that selected for Craft
Sake Week was carefully planned by Hidetoshi himself and a group of sake
experts. For this purpose, the selected brand is considered to be a drink that
can be enjoyed at that time. The lineup will change every year.

The event is usually held in the mid of
April, in case that you had the plan to go to Tokyo around that time, better
stop by and try some of the sake and food there before continuing your vacation
schedule. It is really recommended!! 

You expressed your desire to visit Tokyo in the near future.
But now the most difficult thing is planning. First of all, when should you go?
When is the best time to go to Tokyo? I think everyone should visit cherry
blossoms, but is this best time to really travel?

Actually, the best time to travel to Tokyo is really hard to
tell. You can visit Tokyo at any time of year because the weather is temperate.
But March, April, October, and November are the best months to attract Tokyo.

The spring brings cute Sakura season, and the cherry blossoms float in the air like snow and in mid-April draws a splendid picture of the end of April (cherry blossom changes slightly each year). Weather is sunny, the sky is clear and the temperature is refreshing until May. This is my favorite season in Tokyo. It is getting warm but not hot.

Tokyo summer is July and August, also the hottest and most
humid seasons. If you are weak about the big sunshine, I will be recommended
you the fantastic event at night - Fireworks Festival. There are a lot of awesome
fireworks festival held in Tokyo towards the end of July and lasts until
the end of August.

What will happen in winter in Tokyo? As expected, Tokyo gets
a little cold in winter. However, the weather is generally comfortable, dry and
there are plenty of sunshine. Snow falls occasionally in Tokyo. If you don't
like crowds, this is a good time to visit or shopping, but the things will shut
down from December 29th until January 3rd for the new year holiday.

No matter when you will come, what weather it is, just
remember that enjoy every moment you spend in Tokyo. I believe it will become
an unforgettable journey in your life.

What is trend at the end February until
beginning of March in japan?

The answer is Tokyo Marathon.

What is Tokyo Marathon?

The Tokyo marathon is an international
event with route of 26.2 miles (42.2km) inside the Tokyo capital city, and was
held every end of February at the beginning.

The Tokyo marathon is one of six largest
marathon in the world, like the cities of Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, and
New York. The Tokyo marathon is the latest marathon (2007) and was promoted to
this position in 2012. (Britannica)

The 1st Tokyo marathon was held on 18^th February 2007.
However, in the years before 2007, the Tokyo marathon actually included
two marathons, first is the Tokyo International Marathon and second is
Tokyo-New York Friendship International Marathon and was held in even
years. However, since 1982 it is impossible to support two marathons in
the same city, so the alternative format is adopt in effect.

At the Tokyo marathon, there are thousands
of volunteer every 3km at the drink water station. Wherever you go through the
booth, volunteer is wearing a uniform color that gives each runner modest
passion.

There an after-run party, prepared for all
player by Tokyo marathon in the end of the day. Usually there are Taiko and
Geisha dance to entertain in traditional Japanese way, there also Japanese
cuisine for celebrate the evening.

After all of the explanation, are you ready
to participate next year?

The arrival of these flowers is an annual event so significant, even there are forecasts pinpointing exactly when and where the flowers are expected to bloom. The fact that sakura are only in bloom for a maximum of about two weeks, it's understandable that people would want to find out both the ‘kaika’ (blooming) and ‘mankai’ (full bloom) predictions in order to make the most out of the ‘hanami’ (flower viewing) season.

Tokyo is a busy and fast-pacing city. One of the first things to believe is how impressive public transportation is, even in suburbs and far-flung areas. You can easily get roughly anywhere.

Once you step on the soil of Tokyo, get yourself an IC Card. There are two popular prepaid IC Cards in the city namely: Suica (green card with a Penguin) powered by JR East for JR trains, subways, and bus in the greater Tokyo area and PASMO (pink card with a bus and train photo) for Tokyo's railway, subway and bus operators. Either of the two will be fine. These cards will be your helping hand during your stay as they allow you to tap in and out of any bus or train station without worrying about buying a ticket. You can also use the cards for vending machines and several restaurants and shops. You can refill the credit at any train station.

When you travel to Japan in the spring, what you should definitely see is Japanese excursion culture, cherry blossom viewing.
It is full of people who enjoy sake and homemade dishes, Lay out a vinyl sheet under the cherry tree.

During this season, some sweets and drinks be sold byas seasonal limited flavor.

It is not known exactly when the cherry blossoms will bloom and when they will peak, and the seasons will vary from year to year.
That's why full bloom cherry blossom has great worth

Cherry blossom viewingThis events is not only meaning of welcoming spring but also feeling naturales beauty and momentary.

Recently the year Japanese tattoo culture is changing.
Few years ago the person with a tattoo was restricted to take the lot of place in Japan. For example pool, hot spring and public facility.
Because tattoo made us imagine Japanese yakuza or gangster.
Young person may think tattoo is cool and artistic, because popular music artist and iconic person got a tattoo. But old people say no, of course my parents too.
However, lots of foreigners who travel to japan grow year by year. Some place started easing restrictions on tattoo.
I think Japan is changing to accept deferent culture. Someday lots of Japanese get tattoos as just fashion.

Today I introduce to Japanese original food culture “Izakaya”

You can easily find Izakaya if you take a walk eating street in japan.

I think Izakaya's most important 3 definitions is

1. Cheap 2)Quickly 3)little bit dirty

At Izakaya you can choice lots of kind of drinks and appetizers. Also food is around 500-1000 Yen which is affordable.

And you will have a wonderful encounter with someone interesting. For example, you could talk with other Japanese. Furthermore you can get a lot of local recommendation and information.

I recommend Izakaya area that is said “Gadoshita” in Ueno at Tokyo,

Gadoshita is Japanese that meaning is under railway. Because Lot of restaurant was built under railways. Sometimes you will hear the clickety-clack of the trains and feel vibration but you think this to sense comfortable.

Izakaya is never romantics but anybody can freely enjoyable. If you travel to Japan, I strongly recommend trying Izakaya.

The popular "Nakameguro Blue Cave" was held in Meguro River in 2014 and revived in 2016 by relocating to Shibuya.

Last year it was crowded with about 2.8 million visitors during the period.

A total of 800m from Yoyogi Park Zelkova Namiki to Shibuya Koen-dori Street is lit up with about 600,000 blue LEDs.

In addition, it attracts visitors with romantic lights, such as several types of light-moving effects,effects of waving down a tree-lined path from the back, and effects of shining randomly.

The new National construction was formally completed on Nov 29 once the centerpiece for the 2020 athletic contest and Paralympics was handed over to its owner and operator, the Japan Sport Council.
Japan will celebrate the new $1.4 billion National construction earlier than next summer’s 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. Designed by Kengo Kuma and also the Azusa Sekkei Corporation, construction on the 68,000-seat arena has formally been completed as of on.
The project is found in Tokyo’s Meiji Jingu Gaien district and took precisely 3 years made below the management of national construction big Taisei Corporation. National construction is sort of double scale of the old venue. Associate arena is of an equivalent name that was designed 61 years past for the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics—the last time the town hosted the event. It's set in the same area because its predecessor close to Tokyo’s largest parks and options an all-timber-and-steel framing system that may permit lush greenery to spill over the perimeters of the pagoda-inspired structure as it grows within the next decade.
