Sky Tree

I went to see Sky tree last week.


It is a TV tower which boasts a height of 634m making this tower one of the world's tallest.
It is not open yet, so I could only see it from the neighborhood, but it is still worth a look.


It’s located about 1km east of Asakusa - a town filled with the atmosphere of a shitamachi (the traditional name for the area of Tokyo that extends from Taito, Chiyoda and Chuo Wards east of the Sumida River where many merchants, craftsmen, etc. reside) - and about 2km northeast of Ryogoku - a town famous for sumo wrestling.
The new tower stands in a major traditional and international tourism zone of Japan.

It’s grand opening will be May 22th.
I heard that the tickets have sold out already, but it still nice to see from Asakusa.


Why don’t you check it out !!
