Tokyo Skytree

In 2012, the tallest radio tower in Japan was completed. The tower is 634 m tall, with a Tembo Deck at 350 m and a spiral corridor, Tembo Galleria, at 450 m offering great views of the city and even Mt. Fuji on clear sunny days. At night, the tower is illuminated with blue and purple lights alternating every other day, as well as various other illuminations for special events. On the viewing deck, there are cafes and restaurants, and at the foot of the tower is "Sola Machi" (Sky Town) which offers great shopping and tourist attractions.
