Tokyo Skytree® Selected for Japan 100 Moon Project to Hold Moon Viewing Event

01.August.2018 | SPOT

Down in Tokyo Skytree Town® they are set to hold an event from September 3 to 30 with the theme ‘enjoying the long nights of autumn.’

 

In February 2017, Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world, was selected as part of the Japan 100 Moon project which recognises the country’s best places to view a harvest moon from. Having been designated as such, Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Skytree Town will host this special moon viewing event.

The moon viewing event will be a coming together of the mid-fall harvest moon and fireworks. In line with this, several other events will be held in Tokyo Skytree Town allowing people to enjoy experiencing the lure of the moon and sky.

A jazz performance has been arranged for Tokyo Skytree’s 350m tall observation deck, meaning you can enjoy chill music while gazing at the harvest moon.

There will also be a special moon themed program titled Kiseki no Tsuki (‘The Miracle of the Moon Produced by Motoo Marumaru’) at the SKYTREE ROUND THEATER®, a huge screen made on the glass windows. It will be a magical showing of music and visuals centred around the moon with Tokyo’s nightscape as the backdrop.

  • 【Tokyo Stroll】Asakusa Sightseeing: Eating and Walking Down Nakamise Shopping Street & Rickshaw Riding at Kaminarimon

    29.November.2017 | FEATURES / SPOT

    Today's Tokyo stroll destination is Asakusa. Asakusa is a popular tourist spot for people coming to Japan and is always packed.

     

    However, today's weather forecast predicted rain! So Yuna and Ellie's first stop on their Tokyo stroll was to buy umbrellas from Shinagawa.

     

    Buying an umbrella at AEON in Shinagawa Seaside

    Shinagawa Station is linked to the shinkansen and numerous airports, so you will find many people from inside and outside Japan waiting there. A convenient place to visit when in Shinagawa if you want something is the Shingawa Seaside branch of AEON.

     

    The shopping complex can be reached in 10 minutes by bus or taxi. If you use Shinagawa Seaside Station it's just a 5 minute walk.

     

    When looking for somewhere that sells umbrellas to make being in the rain a bit more fun, Yuna and Ellie discovered "fururi," a place that sells vinyl umbrellas with colourful designs that you can change - simply screw off the top of the umbrella frame, remove the vinyl sheet and replace it with whichever one you like.

     

    There are 48 designs to enjoy with a 60cm umbrella.

     

    Yuna chose a cute design that has blue and yellow water drops. Ellie went for a pink design. A colourful umbrella means turning that rain induced frown upside down. Asakusa is the place to go if you want something fight off the rain!

     

    ■Information

    AEON - Shinagawa Seaside Branch

    Address: 4-12-5 Higashishinagawa, Shinagawa, Tokyo

    Open: 8am-12am

    Eat and walk down Nakamise Shopping Street♪

    As you come to the Kaminarimon Gate you must first press your hands together and bow before heading through to Nakamise Shopping Street. The street is lined with lots of shops selling all kinds of goodies from toys to food to souvenirs.

    The first item Yuna and Ellie came across were little randoresu keyrings. This is most definitely the kind of souvenir you can only get in Japan. Ever since popular Hollywood actresses put out photos of themselves donning these backpacks, they have become popular overseas for their colourfulness and durability. There are even people who wear them as a fashion item.

     

    The next treasure they found were the 'daigaku imo'! Daigaku imo are candied sweet potatoes. The outside is crunchy and the outside is soft. They are deliciously sweet. You absolutely must try them if you come across them in Japan.

    Approaching Sensō-ji

    When you come out of Nakamise Shopping Street you will find yourself at Sensō-ji, Asakusa's ancient Buddhist temple.

    The first step to take when going to shrines and temples in Japan is washing your hands, which is called "temizuya." Hold the ladle with your right hand and wash your left hand and vice versa. Take the ladle with your right hand and scoop some water. Pour the water into your left hand and rinse your mouth with it. Make sure to never bring the ladle to your mouth. Spit the water next to the fountain, never directly back into it. (Bonus: Check out our step-by-step guide to praying etiquette and shrines and temples in Japan.)

    Subsequently, approach the main temple building. After praying, toss in a monetary offering. Then put your hands together and bow once. Since there is no shrine here you do not need to clap. Finally, perform a light bow to complete the prayer.

     

    I wonder what those two were praying for. They look unusually serious.

    There are lots of great places to take photos around Sensō-ji so be sure to have a good look around.

    Tour Asakusa on a rickshaw

    After their temple walk, Yuna and Ellie boarded a rickshaw to scope the Asakusa townscape. The rickshaws have a tarpaulin rain cover and lap blanket in case of rain so you can still have fun even when the weather is bad.

     

    We recommend taking a photo at Dempoin Street when riding your rickshaw as pictured above! It's a special kind of place that you can only find in Asakusa so be sure to take a memorable picture.
