Well, the original thread for this got archived so couldn't add to it, thus the new thread. Well, it's done as many of you know!

I have not been back to Japan since completion but got a chance to see it from a distance in 2010 - Wow. It just loomed over everything at the end of 2010, well before completion and full height!

 

Has anybody had a chance to visit?

I've never been to Tokyo, but the views from the top of that thing have to be absolutely amazing!
