With such a small amount of material and such a short period of time, flat earth erected this typhoon, earthquake resistant behemoth, shocked the world. The Tokyo Tower was completed in December 1958 and opened to visitors in July 1968.

With a height of 634.0 meters, it was certified by Guinness World Records as the "World's Tallest Tower" on November 17, 2011, making it the world's tallest self-supporting radio tower.
The Tokyo Sky Tree was built to reduce the obstacles to radio transmission caused by the many tall buildings in the center of Tokyo.

Scheduled to be built at a height of 610 meters, it surpasses the height of the CN TV tower in Toronto, Canada, and the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, China, but the Sky Tree's final height has already been surpassed first by the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates.
The Tokyo Sky Tree is being built on the site of a former freight station adjacent to the Tobu Railway headquarters between Oshiage and Kepaira Bridge stations on the Tobu Isesaki Line in Sumida-ku, Tokyo. Tobu Railway fully funded "Tobu Tower Sky Tree Co., Ltd." (Tobu Tawasakaitsura Co., Ltd.) is responsible for the construction of the Tobu Sky Tree, with Tobu Railway contributing approximately 50 billion yen and construction costs of approximately 40 billion yen. It is estimated that the tower will generate about 48 billion yen per year in economic benefits, including rent paid by television stations and tourist admission fees. Construction of the tower began on July 14, 2008 and was completed on May 22, 2012, when it was opened. On July 24, 2011, Japan terminated the broadcasting of wireless analog TV broadcasts. The design of the exterior of the building was made public in late 2006 before construction began.
Tourists will be able to "walk in the clouds" inside the tower, "Tokyo Sky Tree," which was designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando and sculptor Kiichi Sumikawa. It will be built on a triangular base, cylindrical, with the height of the tower gradually thinning, the top of the sphere. It is said that the structure, which resembles Japan's national treasure, the "five-story pagoda," is designed to resist earthquakes and strong winds. The entire "Tokyo Sky Tree" tower is silver with a blue tint and towers over the sky, blending in with the background of the sky, making it a spectacular sight. In addition, in the anime works can also be seen more or less the existence of the sky tree.
