One of my favorite things when I travel is to look at the city from above. Being so high up gives me the special pleasure of watching grand views that are impossible to observe on the ground. So, I always take a ride on a Ferris wheel if there is one, or look for an available observation desk. While visiting Hamamatsu, I spotted a very tall building and found out they had an observation deck. On that day, I was late as it was closed at 17:00, but on the next day, I was there at the right time. The weather was bright and the view was spectacular. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see Fuji-san as the view was “smoky” far away.
