World's Only Bonsai Clock Tower - Japan 🇯🇵

The Japanese are renowned for miniaturization. From Bonsai trees to Walkmans, we love them all.

Clock Towers are no exception.

At the Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, I bumped into this cute creature, but with the same spirit as local guides - selflessly doing its job when no one was asking for it.

This public clock appeared to me like a little tower in itself, mounted on a round pedestal, and made entirely of metal with a chrome plating.

When I came across it, it was glittering, reflecting its surroundings, not forgetting to tell the time.

Thanks to this tiny yet elegant time keeper, I felt elated. I had arrived at the airport in time :smiley:

What a delightful discovery, Tushar! :glowing_star: The Bonsai Clock Tower truly reflects Japan’s knack for elegance in simplicity. I love how you’ve drawn a parallel between this humble timekeeper and the spirit of Local Guides — quietly serving without expecting recognition. Your growing clock tower series is fascinating — like a global timeline marked with miniature monuments! Looking forward to your next tick-tock tale. :mantelpiece_clock:

Let me check if I can get to see more Bonsai trees locally to participate again in the Plant Appreciation Challenge. I have already contributed one episode to this challenge by TG.

The clock tower is really beautiful. Thank you @TusharSuradkar Bhai Japan for sharing the clock tower with us.

Eine hübsche Gestaltung für die Uhr @TusharSuradkar
Ich habe überlegt was es darstellen könnte.
Es könnten Hände sein die die Uhr umschließen oder eine Lotus Blume.
