Tokyo Tower

We my family visited the Tokyo Tower.It was the first time to visit there for my daughters. It was very crowded but we challenged to climb it. It was lucky for us that most of the people used the elevator and less went up stairs.
Although we could go on stairs to the half of the tower, but we enjoyed climbing very much!

They have much more stamina than I...

We had still enough strength in reserve!

The tower got injuried by the big earthquake!

At last we saw the Tokyo Tower(with heart mark) from away.
