Tokyo Sky Tree

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

These are pictures of the Tokyo Sky Tree, taken from my bedroom window on 1/2/2010 and this morning on 3/30/2010.

Yesterday the Sky Tree passed Tokyo Tower’s 333 m height and reached 338 m, becoming the tallest structure in Japan.

When completed it will be 634 meters high and be the tallest communications tower in the world.

Tokyo Sky Tree

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

The Tokyo Sky Tree, when completed, will be the tallest artificial structure in Japan, almost twice the size of the Tokyo Tower.

I noticed I can see the Sky Tree growing from my bedroom window! I think it’s over 300 meters high already – almost half of its final 634 meter height. This photo was taken from my bedroom window.
