Tokyo - A complex has opened to the public in the world's tallest television tower, the 634-meter-high Tokyo Skytree. On just the first day of operation today, it expects 200,000 visitors. However, due to the anticipated influx, only those with reservations will be allowed in, according to DPA.
    During the first year, the operators of the enormous complex, featuring numerous restaurants, shops, and offices, are counting on 32 million visitors. The main attraction of the complex, however, are two observation platforms at heights of 350 and 400 meters.
    To tease neighboring China, Japanese architects and builders intentionally constructed the tower a few meters taller than the over 600-meter-high television tower in Guangzhou.
    The Tokyo Skytree transmitter is the second tallest structure in the world. The title belongs to the 828-meter-high Burj Khalifa building in Dubai.
    The needle-shaped transmitter structure is designed to remain firmly standing even during an earthquake of seven on the Richter scale, claims a spokesperson for the company that owns the tower.
    The transmitter is primarily intended to improve the reception of television and radio signals in the Japanese metropolis. Until now, it was managed by the 333-meter-high Tokyo Tower, which was built in 1958.
    The total cost of constructing the Tokyo Skytree complex amounts to 65 billion yen (approximately 16 billion crowns).
