I know there are a lot of other much higher quality photos out there of Tokyo Sky Tree but this was as close as I could get on my last trip. These photos are from the Kanto Bus on the Shuto expressway on the way to Narita. The zoom on the camera I was using was not working either. Oh well.
There has been much talk about the name of the new tower and I agree with most people in that I think the name is stupid. A tree in the sky? I don't know. Tokyo Sky Tree is already the tallest structure in Japan and it is only a little over half done. I've seen the progress from the same bus on my last three trips to Japan going back to last year. Pretty impressive looking tower.
i live in minowa, just a stone's throw from the area. i can see it in my terrace, but a goddamn building in front of my place prevents a good shot. :-(
ReplyDeleteI like that area of Tokyo that you live in. Your lucky.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see this when I get to Japan next year
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your trip and photos as well.
ReplyDeleteLooks cool - hope to one day see it myself.
ReplyDeleteYup. If you visit Tokyo some day this should be one of the places to go. The whole area around the tower is excellent. Asakusa, Sensoji, Nihonbashi, etc.
