monkey entertainer

As I said in the previous blog, the tallest building in Yokohama, or in Tokyo area, is named "landmark tower" that is the left over the Ferris wheel in the pic. Interestingly, the upper parts of the tower, maybe, its 60 to 70th floor, is used as a hotel, Yokohama Royal Park Hotel. Its very top, of course, is a 360 view-observation floor named "sky garden". In order to go up to its top floor, I pay almost US$10, or 1,200 JPN. Its panorama view is so great. I can see the entire sightseeing spots of Yokohama city, including a bay bridge, Chinese town, and Yokohama ballpark. But the most impressive thing I see in the top is not the view, but a monkey that plays a brief-show for visitors with its monkey entertainer. After the show, the monkey gathers money from us with a small basket.
Here is Yokohama, Japan.
