Tenkai-japan.com interviewed with  spokesperson of  TOBU TOWER  SKYTREE CO.,Ltd. , the operating company of  the tower’s Developing Project.  We learned a lot of  interesting information on the background of the project  and possibilities of  future development of the area including tourism. 

Yasunori Mochizuki,  a manager of that division explained the details of the tower’s project at the company’s building  which is just next door to the very construction site of Tokyo Sky tree.

The small film theater where the short movies are run in the plaza has  capacity of  35 persons and there were 14 panel photos.  We saw  photos of construction site. Photos are replaced periodically!

About 300 people visit here a day on average and on weekends much more people visit here, for example, it welcomed about 600 last Saturday.

In  the show window of the plaza ,  there exhibited a very elaborated beautiful,  shiny, half-transparent  rendering diorama of  Tokyo Sky Tree and surrounding towns, which touched us very much.

“Visiting groups, booking briefings, are allowed to ascend the indoor stairs of the plaza to the second floor for  better viewing  of  the Tree”, Mochizuki explained.
