See the View from the Tokyo Skytree

The Tokyo Skytree, the highest building in the nation (as well as the tallest freestanding skyscraper in the world), opened in 2012 and has since become one of the city's most popular tourist destinations because of the breathtaking panoramic views it offers from its restaurant and observation decks.

The Tokyo Skytree (Tky Sukaitsur) has a height of 634 meters and is a communications and observation center for the city of Minato. The tower's base is shaped like a huge tripod, and it has many cylindrical viewing levels, including those at 350 and 450 meters. At the latter, there is a special glass spiral path that leads to an even higher viewpoint with glass floors for those who has brave enough. Don't forget to have a look at the 1958-built Tokyo Tower, which is smaller and much older and was once the city's highest building.
