I’ve featured the Tokyo Tower a few times before, mostly when relating it to my new years celebrations in Tokyo 2010/2011. However I did visit it prior to this and take a trip up the Eiffel Tower inspired design.

2011 turned out to be quite an eventful year for me. Kicking it off with celebration at Zojoji temple and watching Tokyo Tower lit up promised good things.

There are times when you hear about something and just think ‘that’s a great idea, why didn’t I think of that?’ I had that when I first heard about floatworks.

The idea is simple. There is a tank in a room, inside the tank is salty water which you float on. Then you close the tank door and just float for an hour receiving all sorts of benefits that usually takes a long time and a lot of effort to achieve (like a Buddist monk meditating in a temple length). It’s a bit like floating in sea in the dark, but without the drifting off to your doom and getting eaten by sharks bit.
