New Year's is a big holiday in Japan and workers are preparing to meet the new year at the Tokyo Sky Tree. The celebration is called Oshogatsu.

NHK reported:

Workers at the Tokyo Sky Tree landmark tower have cleaned an observation deck in preparation for the New Year. 

The deck is 350 meters above the ground. The workers used long brushes to dust wooden decorations atop the giant windows. 

They also put up New Year decorations and displayed the "Happy New Year" message on some of the windows.
