The Tower Of The Sun And The Redhorse Wheel

1984: P.G.-13 rating debuts

Quote Of The Day
" War Of The Worlds is rated P.G.-13. Much of the Earth's population is wiped out leaving very little time for sex or bad language."
(A.O. Scott)

Another wonderful day. Finally got around to visiting Banpaku Park, site of the World Expo in 1970 and home to Taro Okamoto's famous Tower Of The Sun building. Despite the 36 degree heat, I thoroughly enjoyed my eight kilometre hike around the park, immersing myself in the beautiful gardens. I particularly liked the Japanese garden.

Of course, when I saw that the Redhorse Ferris Wheel in Expo City is the largest in Japan, I simply had to ride it. Absolutely fantastic!
