A broadcasting tower under construction in eastern Tokyo surpassed 600 meters above the ground on Tuesday to become the world's tallest tower.
The developer of the Tokyo Sky Tree says work is progressing on hauling up the structure's steel antenna housing through an interior shaft. When the antenna is in place, the tower's total height will be 634 meters.
The structure has now exceeded 601 meters, surpassing the 600-meter Canton Tower in Guangzhou, southern China.
Many spectators gathered around the Sky Tree on Tuesday to take photos.
A housewife visiting from Osaka said she felt lucky to witness the record-setting moment.
Another man said he comes to take pictures once a week, and will continue to do so until the work is completed.
The structure, which will house 2 observatories and commercial facilities, is scheduled to begin operation in spring 2012 as the world's tallest broadcasting tower.
Tuesday, Ma
