Where else are you going to see one of these? This is a real zeppelin, made in Friedrichschaffen Germany, just like the originals 70 years ago. They updated the design, and of course use helium this time. It's more oblong in shape because it has a rigid frame inside. That's what distinguishes it from blimps.
On weekends with good (VFR: Visual Flight Rules) weather, it lands at the end of our island to pick up sightseeing passengers. 12 seats, at about $400 for a cruise around Tokyo.
No, as a matter of fact, we haven't gotten around to taking the tour yet. But what other neighbourhood can boast of having its own zeppelin landing pad?
