Tokyo Sky Tree TV Tower

Tokyo Sky Tree is the tallest TV tower in the world, built in the Sumida district to replace the old TV tower, which was almost half the height. Formerly known as the New Tower and the TV Tower in Sumida, it was renamed in 2008. According to the results of the competition, the name, which translates as "Tokyo Sky Tree", was chosen as the best. The first visitors to the observation deck were the winners of the competition.

The construction of the TV tower was carried out for almost four years and was completed in February 2012. The structure of the tower has a cylindrical shape and is designed in such a way that it can withstand even very strong gusts of wind. The central shaft of the tower, cast from monolithic reinforced concrete, is able to withstand almost any natural elements. The roof of the tower is located at an altitude of 470 meters, and the height of the tower together with the huge antenna is 634 meters.

With the construction of the new tower, high quality of digital television and radio broadcasting, mobile telephone communication and navigation systems are ensured. For visitors there are several hundred fashion shops, restaurants, a planetarium, an aquarium and even its own theater.
