Tokyo Sky Tree Under Construction

The Tokyo Sky Tree just across the river from Asakusa, near Oshiage station will tower to a huge 634 meters when complete in the December of 2012.

These pictures are from my office in Akihabara, not far from where it is currently being built.  Right now they have just reached the point to begin building the first observation deck at 349 meters. 

I suspect that the construction workers and the crane operators already have a magnificent view from their workplace.

You can see the rest of the pictures from the Picassa Web Album Here.
