Kyu Shiba Rikyu Onshi Teien(旧芝離宮恩賜庭園)

Image
 Kyu Shiba Rikyu Onshi Teien(旧芝離宮恩賜庭園) Along with Koishikawa Korakuen, it is one of the early Edo period daimyo gardens remaining in Tokyo today. It is a garden that well expresses the characteristics of a strolling-style pond garden that conveys the tastes of the Edo period with its bold rock arrangements. The layout of the garden around the pond and the placement of the stones are excellent. Land reclaimed from the sea around 1655-1658 was granted to Senior Council Okubo Tadato from the 4th Shogun Ietsuna in 1678. It is said that when Tadato built his residence, he called a gardener from his domain, Odawara, to create the garden. The garden was called 'Rakujuen.' After passing through several owners, the garden became the Shiba residence of the Kishu Tokugawa family around the end of the Edo period. It then became the property of the Arisugawa-no-miya family, and the Imperial Household Ministry bought it, turning it into Shiba Rikyu. The detached palace suffered severe damage...

Tokyo Tower x Tokyo Skytree: Circle of Apollonius

Image
Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower are both landmarks of Tokyo, but they differ greatly in height and design. Tokyo Tower is 333m tall, with historical design and attractive night views. Tokyo Skytree is 634m tall, boasting an overwhelming height of more than twice that of Tokyo Tower. Although Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree are similar yet different, there are places where the two towers of different heights appear to be aligned at the same height. Why, even though they are about 8km apart in a straight line?! The answer is a theorem called the Circle of Apollonius. Since it's a circle, there are many places where you can see it!

Tokyo Tower x Thunder🌩️

Image
 What happens when lightning strikes Tokyo Tower? ⚡️ It seems that the lightning rod at the top of Tokyo Tower has a function to discharge lightning deep into the ground through a conductor, so people inside do not get electrocuted. By the way, I've heard that Tokyo Tower is struck by lightning several times a year, but I wonder if that's considered many or few times… Furthermore, I hear that the Tokyo Skytree, which is the tallest structure in Japan, gets struck by lightning more than ten times a year! It's scary to think that it gets struck in the same place more than ten times! It seems that Tokyo Skytree and the University of Tokyo are jointly conducting lightning observations and research. Knowing the characteristics of lightning is very valuable and important, and if we could store and reuse the electricity from lightning, it might be the ultimate form of ecology ⚡️ https://www.tokyotower.co.jp/ 🇯🇵JAPAN We are introducing the wonderful scenery of Tokyo Tower with Lo...

Tokyo Tower and cherryblossom

Image
  In the precincts of Zojoji Temple, which is adjacent to Tokyo Tower, there are approximately 200 cherry blossom trees, including Somei Yoshino, one of Japan's three major cherry blossoms, Edohigan, Yuten cherry, and weeping cherry trees. A graceful scenery unfolds where cherry blossoms, Tokyo Tower, and the temple perform together, and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while feeling the solemn atmosphere unique to the temple. Nearby Shiba Park is also a spot where you can feel the arrival of spring while taking a leisurely stroll, so it is recommended for those with small children. About 140 cherry blossoms, such as Somei Yoshino, Yamazakura, and Satozakura, gradually color the park against the backdrop of Tokyo Tower. https://www.tokyotower.co.jp/ 🇯🇵JAPAN We are introducing the wonderful scenery of Tokyo Tower with Lo-Fi Music on YouTube.

  The height of clouds varies depending on weather conditions and the season, but various altitudes of clouds, such as high-level, mid-level, and low-level clouds, are observed above Tokyo Tower. Contrails are often seen along an airplane's flight path, so the presence or absence of contrails depends on the aircraft's flight situation. Observing the clouds from the Tokyo Tower observatory allows you to see a more detailed view of the clouds. https://www.tokyotower.co.jp/ 🇯🇵JAPAN We are introducing the wonderful scenery of Tokyo Tower with Lo-Fi Music on YouTube.

Tokyo Tower

Image
Zojoji Temple, located in the heart of Tokyo and continuing to protect the tombs of the Tokugawa Shoguns, is a place of training as the head temple of the Jodo sect. It is also attracting attention as an Instagrammable spot with Tokyo Tower towering behind its precincts. The Jodo sect, which has the simple teaching that 'anyone can be reborn in the Pure Land if they simply chant 'Namo Amida Butsu',' was founded in 1175 when its founder, Honen, was influenced by the ideas of the Chinese monk Shandao. In the main hall of Zojoji Temple, the 'Great Hall', the principal image 'Wooden Amida Nyorai Statue' is enshrined in the center, and Honen Shonin and Zen Master Shandao are seated on either side of it. The view of the temple and Tokyo Tower together might give you the feeling of time-traveling between Edo and Tokyo. https://www.tokyotower.co.jp/ 🇯🇵JAPAN We are introducing the wonderful scenery of Tokyo Tower with Lo-Fi Music on YouTube.
