The tallest structure in Japan with an observation deck at 350 and 450 meters in the sky. There will probably be a bit of a wait to get to the top but the surrounding area also has some great shopping and restaurants.

Parks & Nature
World famous zoo is worth a visit and a great opportunity to see the panda (however there is quite a long wait during the weekend for the panda house).
However the zoo is not so clean, and doesnt really live up to the standards of other famous zoos found abroad.
