Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Skytree Tower is recognized as the largest TV tower in the world. It is the second tallest building on the entire planet, with a height of 634 meters. Its creation was thought out to the smallest detail. In Japanese, these numbers correspond exactly to the sound of the area where Tokyo is now located.
The construction of the building was completed in 2012. It took 4 years. It took 2 months to choose the name. As a result of the voting, the object became known as Tokyo Sky Tree, which means Tokyo Sky Tree in English. Externally, it looks like a pagoda with 5 tiers, which is equipped with multi-colored lighting. The sky-blue backlight symbolizes elegance and beauty, while the purple backlight symbolizes sophistication and sophistication.
There are 2 viewing platforms. Tembo Deck occupies 3 floors at a height of 350 meters. Nearby there is a souvenir shop, a cafe and a restaurant. The floor sections are glass. Despite this, it is absolutely safe to stay here. Before commissioning, the fragile-looking floor was thoroughly tested and passed all the tests. It complies with all established standards. The second site is called Tembo Galleria and is based at an altitude of almost 500 meters. It looks like a spiral ramp that wraps around the Tokyo Skytree Tower. You can see the whole city, and even Fujiyama is visible in clear weather.
Basic information
The Tokyo Skytree Tower stands in the Sumida district. This is the pride of the capital. During the construction work, it was called the New Tokyo Tower. Its creation is explained by the transition to digital broadcasting. The Tokyo TV tower in operation at that time was not high enough to transmit data to skyscrapers.
It was originally planned that the tower would open in 2011. We had to postpone the time for a year due to the effects of the earthquake. During the construction of the tower, a system was introduced that should compensate for up to 50% of the force of the tremors in the event of an earthquake.
Tokyo Skytree is used for television and radio broadcasting, mobile communications, and navigation systems. There were no signal failures. In the future, it is planned to increase the volume of broadcasting by 2 times. The technical parameters of the TV tower will be able to withstand such a load. At the moment, the date of transition to the new volume of broadcasting is still being discussed, approximate dates have not been set. In addition to the main task, the tower has a tourist attraction. Japanese visitors visit the observation decks and enjoy the view. There are also shops and restaurants in the complex, and a shopping area is open at the foot of the tower.
