It is the world’s tallest free-standing broadcast tower.
Located in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, near Asakusa, this broadcast tower stands at 634 meters (Musashi)—the tallest in the country. Before this tower was built, Tokyo Tower served this purpose; however, due to the impact of rising building heights, the Skytree was constructed to transmit radio waves over a wider and longer range.
The blossoms visible in the foreground on the left are cherry blossoms, often considered Japan’s national flower.
