World's tallest tower, The Tokyo Skytree Opens
The world's tallest tower and Japan's biggest new landmark, the Tokyo Skytree, opened to the public on Tuesday.
Nearly 8,000 visitors were expected to take high-speed elevators up to the observation decks of the 634-meter (2,080-foot) tower to mark its opening. Some reportedly waited in line more than a week to get the coveted tickets for a panoramic view, though Tuesday ended up being cloudy in Tokyo.
