Tokyo is a truly vast sprawling city, and one of the absolute “must-do” things here is getting a view of it from up on high. Chief Cheapo video presenter Angela An (of Internationally Me fame) hosts the first video on our brand new Tokyo Cheapo YouTube channel and gives you the low down on our top view spots. And the best bit—they are all free! Click on the YouTube video and enjoy!
