Followed by a visit to the awesome Kaikyo Yume Tower...
Unfortunately it was difficult to get pictures from the top, but the views were stunning, looking across to Kyushu and back across at Yamaguchi. The windows badly need a clean!
And a lost in translation moment on the way back... We think this was supposed to read 'food halls' judging by what was inside.
Unfortunately it was difficult to get pictures from the top, but the views were stunning, looking across to Kyushu and back across at Yamaguchi. The windows badly need a clean! Nerdy facts:
The spherical glass-covered observatory at the apex is the first of its kind in the world.
The diameter of the tower's sphere is 21m
8,700 sheets of glass were used in the construction of the tower (I wonder how many of those got broken in the process?)
The tower has 611 lights
The transparent elevator travels at 120m/min
And a lost in translation moment on the way back... We think this was supposed to read 'food halls' judging by what was inside.
