It was very cold but fine today. Mt. Fuji looked very beautiful with new snow. Mt. Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan. It is 3,776 meters tall.
Do you know the tallest building in Japan? It has been the Tokyo Tower(東京タワー) until yesterday, which is 333 meters tall. It was built in 1958 and for 52 years it's been the tallest building in Japan.
However around 10 AM yesterday the Tokyo Sky Tree(東京スカイツリー), which is under construction, reached 338 meters tall. Until yesterday it was 328 meters tall. The construction of the tower began in the summer of 2008 as a radio wave tower for the digital broadcasting, and will be completed in the end of 2011. It is expected to be 634 meters tall, that is the highest independent radio wave tower in the world.
The Tokyo Sky Tree has already been a new sightseeing spot in Tokyo.
