How long are the love padlocks left up in the gills? (I noticed all the love locks are from 2022-2023 today while searching for ours from 2020. Would have been nice to be told about this at purchase because we wouldn't have purchased it in the first place if we knew it would be taken down. The girl I spoke to at the counter spoke no english so couldn't answer. Tried a translator but I got a weird answer. We were both lost in translation. I heard about being able to request for it as it's kept in storage. Does anyone know how? How long do they keep it in storage?

It there a mascot to this tower which visits with the guests at particular times like in Kyoto or Tokyo?

Hi Is it best to visit this by day or night? Or maybe go prior to sunset as I love watching the city lights switch on. Tia
