Touching the Sky in Tokyo
Welcome to Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー), the world’s tallest tower and Japan’s newest landmark! Standing at an impressive height of 634 meters, this broadcasting and observation tower has become one of Tokyo’s most recognizable symbols since its opening in 2012.
A Marvel of Modern Engineering
The Tokyo Skytree isn’t just about height – it’s a masterpiece of Japanese engineering and aesthetics. Its design incorporates traditional Japanese concepts with cutting-edge technology. The tower’s silhouette is inspired by a samurai sword, while its primary color, “Skytree White,” is based on a traditional Japanese color called aijiro. At night, the tower illuminates in different colors, creating a spectacular light show that can be seen across Tokyo.
