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.

Click on the photo to see it full size.

Here are some photos from the tour last week:
