Sifting through the photos from our time in Japan, I started to notice a theme. Almost every place we visited had some sort of high altitude viewing area, and Mom and I hit just about all of them. From the Sky Tree in Tokyo, to the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka, to the cable cars in Kobe and Kinosaki – here are some photos of our fabulous views of Japan from above.
