Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo (Japan)

Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo (Japan)

Tokyo Skytree is a broadcasting, restaurant and observation tower in Tokyo, Japan. Its main role is the transmission of digital terrestrial broadcasting. From 2003 onwards, digital terrestrial broadcasting is  in use in Kanto region but because of many other tall buildings (height more than 200 m) it was necessary to make a tower higher than 600 m for transmission purpose. So on 14th July, 2008 the construction of Tokyo Skytree started and after nearly around three and a half years it gets completed on 29 Feb, 2012.

It is the tallest structure made in Japan of height 634 m and the second tallest structure in the world after Burj Khalifa, Dubai. It is also the tallest TOWER in the world (not the tallest structure). According to the designer, it can absorb upto 50% of the energy generated from earthquake. The highlight of this tower is its two decks, the lower one is at the height of 350 m from the ground and the higher one is at the height of 450 m. On 350 m  high deck, there is a Skytree deck from where you can have a look of the whole Tokyo city.
