Tokyo Skytree
The largest TV tower in the world is the Tokyo Skytree tower. This is the second of the highest structures on the entire planet - a height of 634 meters. Her creation was thought out to the smallest detail. In Japanese, these figures exactly correspond to the sound of the area where Tokyo is now located.
The construction of the building was completed in 2012. It took 4 years. 2 months took the choice of name. According to the results of the vote, the object became known as Tokyo Sky Tree, which means Tokyo's celestial tree in English. Outwardly, it looks like a pagoda of 5 tiers, which is equipped with multi-colored backlight. Sky blue backlight symbolizes elegance and beauty, and purple backlight ‒ sophistication and sophistication.
There are 2 observation platforms. Tembo Deck occupies 3 floors at an altitude of 350 meters. Nearby there is a souvenir shop, cafe and restaurant. The floor sections are glass. Despite this, being here is absolutely safe, before commissioning, a fragile-looking floor was carefully tested and passed all tests. It complies with all established standards. The second site is called Tembo Galleria and is based at an altitude of almost 500 meters. Outwardly resembles a spiral ramp that goes around the Tokyo Skytree tower. You can see the whole city, even Fujiama is noticeable in clear weather.
Basic information
Tokyo Skytree Tower stands in the Sumida area. This is the pride of the capital. During construction work, she was called the New Tokyo Tower. Its creation is explained by the transition to digital broadcasting. Tokyo's television tower in force at that time was not high enough to transmit data to skyscrapers.
It was originally planned that the tower would open in 2011. I had to postpone time to year due to the effects of the earthquake. During the construction of the tower, a system was introduced that should compensate up to 50% of the strength of tremors if an earthquake occurs.
Tokyo Skytree is used for television and radio broadcasting, mobile communications and navigation systems. There were no failures in the operation. In the future, it is planned to increase the volume of broadcasting by 2 times. The technical parameters of the TV tower can withstand a similar load. At the moment, the date of transition to a new volume of broadcasting is still being discussed, approximate dates have not been set. In addition to the main task, the tower carries tourist attractiveness. Guests of Japan visit the observation sites and enjoy the view. The complex also has shops and restaurants, and at the foot of the tower there is an open shopping area.
