Today is Mother’s Day.
I took my mother to a Sunday-only restaurant run by a woman I deeply respect, and we enjoyed delicious, carefully prepared dishes that were gentle on the body.
The restaurant is near Tokyo Skytree.
Tokyo Skytree opened in 2012 to help improve broadcasting and communication signals, and at 634 meters tall, it is the tallest freestanding broadcasting tower in the world. At night, its illumination lights up the sky with a beauty inspired by Japanese aesthetics. Its highest observation area, located between 445 and 450 meters, is especially popular because its sloping corridor gives visitors the feeling of taking a walk in the sky.
My mother is afraid of heights, so today we simply looked up at the Skytree from below and admired its great size. In a country like Japan, where people live with earthquakes, I have nothing but deep respect for the engineers and construction workers who made such a tall structure possible.
There is also a shopping complex attached to it, so it seems like a place where you could easily spend a whole day. If you come to Tokyo, I hope you will stop by.
Thank you very much for reading today.
Wishing you all the best.
今日は母の日です。
母を連れて、尊敬する女性が営む日曜日限定のレストランで、丁寧に心を込めて調理された、身体に優しい料理を美味しくいただきました。
レストランは東京スカイツリーの近くにあります。
東京スカイツリーは電波障害解消を目的に2012年に開業した、高さ634mの世界一高い自立式電波塔です。夜は日本的な美意識を表現したライトアップが夜空を彩ります。高さ445mから450mにかけて設けられた最も高い展望台はスロープ状の回廊で空中散歩の気分を味わえて人気です。母が高所恐怖症なので今日は下から仰ぎ見てスカイツリーの大きさを味わいました。地震とともに生きる日本でこんなに高い建物を建てた技術者と工事に携わられた方々には尊敬の念しかありません。
商業施設も併設されて一日楽しめそうです。東京にいらしたらぜひお立ち寄りください。
今日も読んでくださってありがとうございます。 それでは皆さま、ごきげんよう。
