Tourism Tokyo Skytree celebrates its 10th anniversary

Commemorative events celebrating the opening of the 634-meter structure's Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria observation areas include an ongoing "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" anime collaboration and a performance by Kabuki actor Ichikawa Ebizo livestreamed on a screen from the tower's highest point. [...] Huge nationwide interest followed Skytree's public opening on May 22, 2012. Admission lotteries in the first week offered odds of 1 in 335 for the 45 slots available at midday on the 22nd. Its millionth customer was welcomed on Aug. 1 that year. Despite passing the 40 million guest milestone in December 2021, Skytree has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

We already made it up there. I forgot what year but probably not long after it opened. No excuse not to go check it out.
