Tokyo Skytree Update

I drove by the Tokyo Skytree construction site on Friday. Actually, it is now visible from quite a distance away.

The celebrated structure is now 389 m tall. Since my last blog reporting in February, the Skytree grew 89 meters.

A view from Kototoi Bridge (approx. 800m - 1/2 mile) away.

The upside-down conoid shape is the first observatory (340 meters high) .

There were many people that were looking up and taking pictures of the construction.

Only 245 more meters to go before its official opening in the spring of 2012.
