Looking suspiciously like a red Eiffel Tower (in fact they put a spike on top to make it taller than its cousin) the views from here are pretty ace. And whilst you're there you can also hit the Wax Museum and the Optical Illusion place, which are fun.

I met up with a friend in Tokyo for a couple of days on a tour of Japan and he took me here to this moutain for a days' hiking. So pretty and totally unexpected, a world apart from the stereoypical Tokyo experience.

Normally when you head to a city you expect to pay through the nose for a bird's eye view of the city, but in Tokyo there are loads of free places to choose from, such a treat! I went to the Bunkyo Civic Centre, St Luke's Garden Observatory and Harumi Passenger Boat Terminal Observatory.

I couldn't believe there were observation decks here that you could get to for free! Fantastic views and the price is just right! Mount Fuji looks amazing with the city at your feet.
