Tokyo Photo Gallery

Construction on the body of the Tokyo Sky Tree, which will be the tallest structure in Japan, has begun next to Narihirabashi Station (1-chome Oshiage, Sumida Ward) on the Tobu Isesaki Line. The tower will stand 610 meters tall to avoid obstructions to the signals it will be broadcasting. The second observatory, which will be open to visitors, is scheduled to boast a height of 450 meters—180 meters higher than Japan’s highest observatory today located in the Yokohama Landmark Tower.
