Wow, can't believe they received over a million visitors already, and that just in 5 days. Which is 16.000 visitors per hour!

Anyone on the forum that has already been there or is planning on going there in one of these weeks?


 
Maybe I will visit 6 months later as it's too crowded.
 
Yeah, I can't believe someone want to take their kids there now.

Definitely not this year! ;-)
 
A tree with no branches.....who names this stuff anyway?

Personally, I find the thing to be a total eyesore.
 
This would be awesome to go to, but yeah I think I'm gonna wait till the novelty wears off a little.
 
"The height of 634 m (2,080 ft) was selected to be easily remembered. The figures 6 (mu), 3 (sa), 4 (shi) stand for "Musashi" an old name of the region where the Tokyo Skytree stands."

Agree with Mike that the structure isn't that impressive except for it's height! What kind of tower do you think is beautiful then Mike?
 
I don't think there is any design they could have used that I would like. I object to the eyesore it makes of the skyline more than to the design of the tower.

The only landmark that should be visible as far away as that thing is is Mount Fuji.
 
I am not lucky with Toshiba. I had Toshiba notebook once ... it died in half year. Toshiba monitor in my cubicle was always broken unless it was replaced with Samsung. Toshiba Canvio - external hard drive - it was a mistery, it enclosed Hitachi hard drive inside, it was so flimzy, and died mostly imediately.

I mean, You should hurry.
 
I didn't know they sell Notebooks in Tokyo Sky Tree.
 
Toshiba did elevator in Tokyo Sky Tree ... I bet it will be broken soon.
 
If the entrance fee becomes more affordable I'd visit one day, too!
I'm curious, but not for THAT price!

I heard there are still long queues at the ticket counters and 30-minute waits to reach the first platform. I might go there during the holidays for a photo shoot.
 
You should Thomas

30min wait isn't too long... I had to wait for about an hour and a half at the Eiffel tower (and that was only for the first level... there was another 30 ~ 45 min line for the top.
 
I know that people here queue up longer for frozen yoghurt or udon, lol. We've once waited 90 mins at the Mori Museum to visit an ukiyo-e exhibition. These days, I just buy the catalogue and enjoy them on my beanbag.
 
I plan to visit at the end of December. Probably a very bad time to go but I'll take the risk and see how long the line is. If anything, I'll snap some pics of the tower itself and continue on my merry way
