Apparently one of the biggest theme parks in Japan is Toshimaen. The north part of the park has various roller-coasters, one of which is emblazoned with (what I’m told is) the park’s name. The south part is a water park which is packed full of people.

There’s more info on the official park website (if you can read Japanese) and ground level shots on Theme Park Review.

The Kawasaki Man-Made Island is in the middle of an undersea tunnel between Kisarazu City and Kawasaki City across the Tokyo bay. Apparently they started boring the tunnel from the island towards each side.

This is the Tokyo Tower in Japan, which is the world’s tallest self supporting steel structure. Although it seems like everything can be classified as the world’s tallest something… ( I hearby declare myself the world’s third tallest Google Sightseeing Administrator).

The Tokyo Tower is (obviously) based on the Eiffel Tower, but at 333 metres, is 9 metres taller. There’s lots of good info about the tower over at Wikipedia, so we’ll just mention that the first floor houses an aquarium, home to 50,000 fish, and that this was the landmark which was destroyed again and again by Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Guiron, Gamera, and scores of other rubber-monsters.
