Tokyo 東京 in perspective. With 634 meter, Tokyo skytree 東京スカイツリー is the world’s tallest tower and the world’s second biggest building after all. (after Burj Khalifa in the Arab Emirates) From up there, even the massive skyscrapers of Shinjuku appear tiny. There are two observatories, one at 350m and one at 450m but at this height, the noticable difference is small. Entry fee for the lower observatory is around 2500 Yen and there is an extra charge of additional 1000 Yen for the upper one. While it sure is an unique experience, I thought it to be way to expensive and I had to wait like three hours to get in. Just one hour in a queue because you get a ticket for the queue to the ticket with a specific time on it, a system which let’s you at least look around (the shopping center) for most of the time. But for a scenic view of Tokyo from above, the Metropolitan Building at Shinjuku offers almost the same experience. For free. It’s still worth the money, if you have enough of it. -- source link
