Zipping up hundreds of meters in seconds is an incredible feeling, and seeing the sprawl of Tokyo from the top of country is even more amazing.

You can find all the information you need about Tokyo Skytree at their very informative website:

I visited recently and had a terrific time. The Skytree and the entire experience was so much better than I could have ever imagined. To get the most out of your trip, I recommend the following:

* Go on a weekend, not the weekend – and go in the morning if you can to avoid the crowds. You’ll also have more time for shopping later on.

* Reserve your ticket online: http://www.tokyo-skytree.jp/en/reservation/ 
Again, this is to avoid waiting – possibly for hours – in queues and crowds. It’ll cost you a few more coin, but it’s totally worth it.

* Bring. A. Camera.

* Pay the extra 1000 yen to go all the way to the top. You’ll be surprised what an additional 100 meters can do to a view. Also, the walking around in the galleria is far more fun than the lounge deck.

That’s about it. Have fun!

Enoshima Island Spa is located just outside Tokyo (direct ride on the Romance Car from Shinjuku Station..60 to 70 minutes). This ancient healing spot is just off the Shonan Coast and you take a 10 minute walk over the bridge to the island itself. The spa entrance fee of 2,742 yen gives you access to two floors of lovely heated pools and a hot spring area. The pools are open year round and the view of the ocean and Mt. Fuji on a clear winter day, just cannot be beat. We also have aromatherapy massage and shiatsu massage for massage enthusiasts. Take a look here for more details.

Christmas, New Year, Birthdays, Valentines….Enoshima Island Spa is special in many ways. A gift certificate from Enospa provides a memorable way to celebrate any occasion! See details here. We hope this will make giving during the holiday season a lot easier and you can really do something special for your important someone!

Children six and above can enjoy the spa every day except Sunday and there is a very strict no-tattoo and no-photography policy in place.
