Highest Point at 634 Meters
The highest point of the Tokyo Sky Tree to reach 634 meters!
Ever since the start of the project, Tokyo Sky Tree was designed to be the tallest free-standing tower in the world. After thorough investigation, the highest point has recently been decided to reach 634 meters.
When the inaugural opening of Tokyo Sky Tree is held as the world's highest rising tower, it will surely draw wide public attention. It is our hope to transmit information on Japanese culture and technology to the world from this place, in a downtown area of Tokyo in Japan.
Wanting to be the world's tallest
As far as the highest point of the Tokyo Sky Tree is concerned, they had announced in the beginning that it would be "about" 610 meters leaving the final height to be decided at a later date. Since the tower was designed to be the tallest in the world from the very beginning, an open-ended range with final adjustments was included in the structural plans. At a time when planning and construction of high-rise structures are underway in other countries, the operators talked about the highest point being 634 meters. The Tokyo Sky Tree employs Japanese cutting-edge technology in reproducing the traditional architectural know-how of the "Shimbashira-Seishin" (Center Column Vibration Control) used in the five-story pagoda. When the Tokyo Sky Tree makes its debut as the world's tallest free-standing tower drawing international attention, it will surely provide an invaluable opportunity to introduce the culture and technology of Japan to people around the world.
