In the Greater Tokyo area, you will find some of the craziest infrastructure projects in the world, but

Sentences with advanced comparative

none perhaps as unique as what we're about to experience today.

The greater Tokyo area is dominated by Tokyo Bay, a huge inlet of the Pacific Ocean that divides the area in two.

You used to have to plan several hours to get around the bay, especially when traffic was bad.

That is, at least until they built Tokyo Aqua Line, a futuristic roadway that divides the bay in two.

The main part of the tollway goes under the bay through a tunnel and then finishes with a big bridge into Chiba.

Our destination today, the ship like road service area known as Umihotaru, where the tunnel becomes a bridge in the middle of the bay.

Usually rest areas are all outside of big cities, but

this is one rest area that is not only in the biggest city in the world, it is in the middle of the bay.

The pyramid is a main feature of the Aqua line that signifies the beginning of the tunnel.

Maybe everyone would find something they like.

Our plan today is to go to the top, see the view, eat, explore, and

In the winter, the air is as clear as it gets around Tokyo.

So it should be a great day for seeing not only the whole Bay Area, but

Okay, we'll go all the way to the top and then we'll come down.

I don't think I have ever seen Mount Fuji from here before, have we?

I think I was on this dolphin and I was on that dolphin.

I was jealous because she was higher than me.

Oh, Daddy's over there looking at the view.

Yeah, the ladies just want to eat at this point.
