Tokyo Sky Tree

I stayed in Tokyo on the day of the college reunion party. Then, the next day, I went to "Tokyo Sky Tree" with three former photography club members who had come to the party.

"Tokyo Sky Tree" is now under construction in Sumida Ward, located about 1km east of Asakusa, Tokyo.

It will be completed in 2011. The height of the tower is said to become 634m and will be the world's tallest.

According to the notification showed at the construction site, the tower was a little shorter than 200m when we visited.

Even it was one-third of the final height, its huge skirts of the building impressed us very much.

Many tourists were posing before the tower to be taken a picture.
