Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo (must see)

Tokyo Skytree is a multi-purpose tower located in Sumida, Tokyo, serving as a broadcasting hub, restaurant, and observation point. It gained the distinction of being the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and attained its maximum height of 634.0 meters (2,080 feet) in March 2011. This achievement made it not only the tallest tower globally but also the second tallest man-made structure worldwide, only surpassed by the Burj Khalifa (standing at 829.8 meters/2,722 feet) at the time.

The tower's design at its base resembles a tripod, while from an altitude of around 350 meters (1,150 feet) and upwards, it adopts a cylindrical structure, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic vistas of the river and the city. There are two observation decks, one at 350 meters (1,150 feet) with a capacity for up to 2000 visitors, and another at 450 meters (1,480 feet) accommodating around 900 people. The uppermost observation deck offers a unique feature—a spiral skywalk encased in glass, enabling visitors to ascend the last 5 meters to the highest point on the platform. Additionally, a section of glass flooring on this level provides a direct view downwards onto the streets below, offering a thrilling experience for visitors.
