3776 Finally arrived! The line to take photos from the front is long. Depending on the time, wait for 30 minutes or 1 hour? Some countries are occupying the area with their national flags, so it is difficult to make any progress. You can walk along the side to get to the top, and you can also take photos from the side with other people inside. If the photo is not for SNS, it is sufficient to take a photo from the side! Kengamine gave me a real sense of accomplishment and deep emotion!
