I think that this is a great idea to stay motivated! I added myself as well! Lets all do our best and study hard
I’m in. Let’s do this. After resetting down to level 11 from 33 after a year of inactivity, I’m clawing my way back up.
(Also, now I want to go visit Tokyo Skytree on its 10 year anniversary, but I bet lots of people here in Tokyo will have the same idea…)
For me, English lulled me into fake sense of security. It practically learned itself when I was in my early teen years.
But, I do know people who claim that they learned Japanese effortlessly. So it’s definitely possible.
Here are two shots from December 2019. This is the Skytree in the evening, from the ground.
As you can see, it’s a rather foggy winter’s night.
And here’s the view from the observation deck.
The staff informed us that conditions are not ideal due to the fog, but it was still a pretty sight.
The one with the fog is great, it looks like a shot out of a dystopian sci fi movie.
Is there only an elevator or or are there stairs too? That would be a cool workout.
I would also like to participate
I’m currently level 12 and going at a speed of 20 days per level.
Actually… if I continue at this speed I won’t make it to level 60 at all, but maybe I’ll speed up at a certain point (I hear the last 10 levels can be done more quickly). Either way, this thread is a cool opportunity to mark my progress
I’ve never been inside Skytree (I picked Tokyo Tower instead), but I do have photos of the outside included in panorama views.
First is the view from the hotel rooftop (Graphy Nezu) where I stayed during my first trip to Tokyo.
Second was taken from the Sumida River’s bank.
I just remembered I am scared of heights (one of the reasons I did not enter the Skytree when I was in Tokyo).
Maybe I should stay level 23 forever, instead…
Great job @Marifly! This Skytree thread looks amazing
I’ll join, without any hopes of actually reaching level 60.
But making it to the first observation deck would be nice, so here goes nothing!
Yes, I thought the same thing ! Just showing the video made me feel dizzy
60 levels of Mines of Moria dungeon group?
I’m fine with heights when there is a stable footing, but I once made a mistake of choosing a ride on Daikanransha (ferris wheel in Odaiba, Tokyo). Alone. During very windy weather.
Somehow I seemed to be the only customer at the moment (it was around noon during weekday, but tourists should still be there, right?) and during this ride I seriously started to worry that it is literal tourist (death) trap and a convoluted way to kill me.
It was really scary, with the car creaking and swinging with the wind.
OK count me in. Level 1. Thanks!
I’m in. Hoping to reach level 60 by spring 2021.
I’m so glad to see so many here! This will be so much fun to climb to level 60 with all of you!
Count me in!
I’m in!
Ui! I also want to take part, count me in!
It’s weird because most of the time I am the same, like with rollercoaster rides and such. But something about these very tall observation decks, particularly in countries that have earthquakes frequently, scare the heck out of me.
I did actually go up the Kyoto tower, but my wife had to practically force me in there. I did not have a good time!
I’m going to have nightmares tonight.
