They could charge 5000 yen and people would line up.
At the beginning anyway.

Not sure why people are getting that excited about it. People in our town going bonkers over if they can see it from their house/road/area.

Interesting documentary on Skytree now on NHK.
Started with some images from March 11th... SCARY!

Next May you can go up.
You'll need to take out a loan first though.

Must have been terrifying being up there or indeed any tall building. The older the worse!
