Postcard from Tokyo Skytree

Jika ingin melihat suasana Kota Tokyo dari ketinggian, inilah tempat terbaik dengan pilihan view 360° dari ketinggian 350 meter di dek observasi. Bahkan kita dapat melangkahkan kaki di glass bottom floor dan merasakan keseruan berada di ketinggian.

If you wanna get amazed with Tokyo-view from the top, here is the right place with 360° from 350 meters high of the observation deck. Even we could step on the glass bottom floor and feel the excitement at that height.

 

Tokyo Skytree kini jadi salah satu tempat yang dipadati turis setiap harinya untuk melihat suasana Tokyo. Namun, menara dengan tinggi 634 meter ini dibangun tidak hanya untuk jadi atraksi bagi turis, namun juga menjadi menara pemancar bagi sejumlah stasiun televisi dan berbagai broadcast media lainnya di Jepang.

Nowadays, Tokyo Skytree was one of the touristy places where you could enjoy the atmosphere of Tokyo. However, the purpose of this 634 meters high tower is not only to attract foreign tourist but also as a transmitter tower for many TV station and others media broadcast in Japan.

Saya datang di sore hari sebelum sunset. Dek observasi sudah dipenuhi orang-orang yang menunggu sunset tiba. Di salah satu sisi bahkan saya dapat melihat Gunung Fuji dari kejauhan.

Though I came at noon before the sunset, the observation deck already full with the sunset-catcher. In other side of the tower, I also could see Fuji Mountain from a distance.

Saya memutari dek observasi ini sambil menunggu sunset. Melihat berbagai sisi Tokyo dari ketinggian, melihat betapa padatnya Tokyo oleh bangun-bangunan meski tetap rapi, melihat jalanan dan kanal hingga menjelang sunset.

I walked around this observation deck, while waiting for the sunset, to look Tokyo from the different sides on the top view, at the crowd of Tokyo with all those skyscrapers but still well-ordered, at the roadways and canal, at every single thing, until it’s time for sunset.

Akhirnya saya mengerti mengapa begitu banyak orang yang memadati dek observasi ini di sore hari. Saat matahari turun perlahan, gedung-gedung pencakar langit di Tokyo menjadi siluet cantik, dengan perbukitan yang mengelilingi Tokyo, serta si Fuji-San.

Then I knew what make the observation deck is full every noon.  As the sun set slowly, the skyscrapers in Tokyo turned into beautiful silhouette, with the hillside around Tokyo and also Fuji-san.

Saya mengambil gambar sambil memperhatikan matahari yang semakin turun, dan kemudian lampu-lampu bangunan mulai mewarnai langit malam. Another beautiful sight.

I took some shots while watching the sun keep going down, as lights of the building start coloring the dark night sky. What a beautiful sight!

"Do you like it?" ujar perempuan Jepang saat saya keluar dari Tokyo Skytree.

"Yes, the view from there is so beautiful," ujar saya

"I live in Japan but this is my first time going up there," ujarnya

"Never too late," saya menambahkan

Kemudian kami tersenyum

“Do you like it?” a Japanese woman asked, right after I walked out from Tokyo Skytree.

“Yes, the view from there is so beautiful,” I answered.

“I live in Japan but this is my first time going up there,” she said.

“Never too late,” I added.

Then we smiled each other
