The Skytree

By Vikasacharya

Tokyo Sky Tree, formerly known as New Tokyo Tower, is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan.

The Skytree

Tokyo Skytree- Opened in 2012, the Tokyo Skytree is Japan’s tallest tower. It measure 634 meters and was the second tallest building in the world at the time of its completion. The Skytree has the two highest observation decks in Japan. The spacious, 350 meter high lower deck features wide windows, a restaurant, cafe and shops. The 450 meter high upper deck is notable for a glass and steel enclosed ramp that spirals around the building. Both offer spectacular, unobstructed views out over much of the Kanto Region. A beautiful aquarium and shopping mall are found at the base of the tower.
