The Tokyo Skytree, officially opened to the public on May 22, 2012, has rapidly become one of Japan’s most visited attractions. Its conception was rooted in the need for a new broadcasting tower to replace the aging Tokyo Tower, which struggled to transmit signals in the modern digital age. The new tower was envisioned to not only serve as a state-of-the-art broadcasting facility but also as a multifunctional observation and entertainment complex.
