Tokyo-to Sumida-ku Oshiage - Tokyo Sky Tree
Tokyo Sky Tree is the second tallest freestanding structures in the world at 634 meter tall. 634 can be pronounced as Musashi in Japanese, which is the name of the country in this area in ancient times. It officially opened on 22 May 2012. The photos in this page were taken on 26 May 2012, the first weekend after its opening.
