Japlanning On Location - Tokyo Sky Tree and Park Hyatt Tokyo
Well we're in Japan at the moment here is the daily highlight for you to feel like you're right along with us!
Today we checked into our last night in Japan, by staying at the best. We checked into the spectacular Park Hyatt Tokyo, where the service was first class from the opening of the taxi door. This incredible hotel, has gorgeous decor and amazing plants, fresh everywhere.
After check in and seeing our spectacular view, which promises views of Mt. Fuji on a clear day, we were off to the other side of Tokyo to go a little higher, that's right we climbed the highest tower in the world, Tokyo Sky Tree.
We went up to the highest point 451.2 metres. and a few of the team were a little tense about the height and drop down! The tower offers two observation decks, the main at 350 metres the Tembo Deck then the Tembo Galleria at 450 metres.
After we made it back down safely a reward was in order, at the 100% Chocolate Cafe, then we trekked around Asakusa and Kappashiba-dori for some amazing Japanese knives.
We have spent our final night indulging at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, with some decedent food and breathtaking views. A good nights rest seems guaranteed.
Tomorrow is Japlanning's last day in Japan, for the meantime, so will have further updates and regular posts again next week. Get ready for our latest and greatest finds in Tokyo and beyond from this trip, as well as some great reviews on many hotels in Japan.
Until then...
さようなら!

Yesterday we made the trek down to Yokohama and visited the Cup Noodles Museum.
