Tokyo skytree

Tokyo Skytree ( Tky Sukaitsur ) is a broadcasting, restaurant, and

?

observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its
full height of 634.0 metres (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the
Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft).

The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kant region; the older Tokyo
Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is
surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to
the public on 22 May 2012.[6] The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded
by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the
adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station, the complex is 7 km (4.3 mi) north-east of
Tokyo Station.

Tokyo tower

Tokyo Tower ( Tky taw?) is a communications and observation tower located in

the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.9 metres (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest
structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and
international orange to comply with air safety regulations.

Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million
people have visited the tower since its opening. Foot Town, a four-story building located directly under the
tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from there, guests can visit two observation
decks. The two-story Main Observatory is located at 150 metres (490 ft), while the smaller Special
Observatory reaches a height of 249.6 metres (819 ft).

The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio
antennas were installed in 1961, but the tower is now used to broadcast signals for Japanese media outlets
such as NHK,TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned digital television transition by July 2011 was problematic,
however; Tokyo Tower's height, 332.9 m (1,092 ft) was not high enough to adequately support
complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower, known as Tokyo
Skytree, was completed on February 29, 2012.

Ohori park

hori Park ( hori-ken) is a park in Ch-ku, Fukuoka, Japan and a registered Place
of Scenic Beauty.

The name hori means a large moat and it derives from the fact that Kuroda Nagamasa, the old lord
of Fukuoka, reclaimed the northern half of a cove or an inlet called Kusagae which was facing Hakata
Bay and made a moat for the Fukuoka Castle. At the same time the Hii (Tajima) River, which was flowing
into the cove, was diverted from its course to the west.

The present park was reconstructed by Fukuoka City, modeled on the West Lake of China, and opened in
1929. This park is one of the most beautiful water parks in Japan and loved by local people as a relaxation
spot. A fireworks festival is held here every August.

The Fukuoka Art Museum and the United States Consulate are nearby.

Fukuoka castle
Fukuoka Castle ( Fukuoka-j?) is a Japanese castle located in Ch-ku, Fukuoka, Japan.
It is also known as Maizuru Castle (Maizuru-j) or Seki Castle (Seki-j). Completed in the early Edo
period for tozama daimyo Kuroda Nagamasa, it has been decreed ahistoric site by the Japanese
government.

The castle lies in the centre of Fukuoka, on top of Fukusaki hill. The Naka River, Naka-gawa in Japanese,
acts as a natural moat on the eastern side of the castle, while the western side uses a mudflat as a natural
moat. Hakata, a ward with a bustling port, is located on the opposite side of the Naka River to the east.
The castle town was established on the northern side, facing the sea.
Much of the castle grounds has been converted to Maizuru Park, which houses several sports facilities, a
courthouse, and an art museum. Heiwadai Baseball Stadium, the past home field of the Nishitetsu
Lions and the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks, was also located on the castle grounds. Some of the castle's gates as
well as its towers and turrets, known as yaguras, are preserved inside the park, one of which has been
marked as an important historical artifact by the Japanese government.

The remnants of a korokan, an ancient guest house for foreign diplomats, were discovered under the castle
grounds in 1987, showing that the castle was a vital geographical checkpoint even into the Heian period.
This is the only korokan remnant found in all of Japan.

4KHD technology, which proved to be popular among the younger generation. The family area "Universal

ride of its kind in the world. With a total investment of 45 billion yen, the addition of The Wizarding

over the next 10 years in Japan, and anticipates many visitors from both Japan and overseas. On Monday,
October 29, 2012, Universal Studios Japan greeted its 100 millionth visitor since its opening in 2001.
