Hey Kids!
Today was great but it really didn't start for me until a bit later in the day which was perfectly fine with me! But in the mourning I headed over to Atago Shrine which was erected in 1603 during the eighth year if the Keicho

Atago Shrine

era and it is said that as you walk up the steps to the shrine it is said to represent the succes in life. yet the shrine was rebuilt due to the dangerous reasons but was rebuilt and still looks beatiful. The great thing about the shrine is that you are able to a good view of all of Tokyo not all of course but it is a still beautiful view. The ground was really moist because of the Rain last night but even though it rained the shrine seemed to look as if it was standing tall and proud. Yet the shrine was built to protect people of fires and watch for fires as well that is why the God of fire himself was worshiped in this shrine, also the gods of water, mountains and military were worshiped in this shrine. The people at the shrine were very kind and curtious. It was just a great place to relax. Yet when I took the train down to the center of Tokyo when I saw Tokyo Tower catch my eye! It was gorgeous and glorious standing tall there I knew I had to go see it for myself! So I walked myself down to the Tower and boy wasn't it big it also looked clearly similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The Tower was built in 1958 and was not only used as an observation tower but also as the broadcasting tower for mostly all of Tokyo! I had to pay an entrance fee of course of 1000 yen which was fine with me. Note that I am the type of person who carries all his money around I am just surprised no one has robbed me yet. But anyway back to the tower I had went upto the second floor which was pretty high and I am the type of person who is not a fan of heights so it was a little weird for me being up so high. But I really wanted to see the observation tower so I headed up to the heighest point you could reach which was 250 m which is

Tokyo Tower

about 820 feet in the sky. But it was amazing up their once I saw all of the skyscraoers and towers and everyone look like ants at the bottom of the tower it was funny and I saw everything i was just so amazed at the view! So as I headed back down to the first floor to the small cafe there and had a bite to eat at night the tower shines brightly and so does all of Tokyo which amazes me. The food was about 600 yen but it was good some tea with melon bread and a side of sushi more specificaly Squid sprisingly delicious!
So that was my day it was great and I had tons of fun at the shrine and at Tokyo Tower. Not only did i head home but i saw these really cool headphones I had to get them they were only like 5000 yen! I am wearing them now heheheh.
