The Sky Tree is located across the Sumida River from Asakusa.
According to News On Japan:
Construction is expected to be finished at the end of this month in Japan on the world's largest self-supporting tower. It will be the second highest man-made structure in the world, surpassed only by Dubai's 829-meter-high Burj Kalifa skyscraper.
The Sky Tree soars 634 meters (almost double that of Tokyo Tower) and will have an observation deck at a height of 450 meters. To get a breathtaking view of Tokyo, a ride up to the observation deck will cost about $40 per person.
