As I had announced yesterday, I crossed the Sumida River to take the photo, but as expected I missed my chance to take a picture. I was completely late. I pressed the shutter button after passing the building and checking the skyscraper. Next time I'll look at the edge of the building and press the shutter as soon as I pass it. People entering today's May skill evaluation venue are already lined up in front of the blue sign at the water bus stop in front of Ryogoku Kokugikan. It seems that the second floor seats are open. Tickets are only available for the second floor seats, and are distributed on the day from 8am, with 1000 seats available each day, one per person. The event runs from May 8th to 22nd.

It's cloudy today and visibility is poor.
There is no change in appearance.

This photo was taken on April 24th last year at Tobu Nikko Square World, the first day of the public unveiling of the completed Tokyo Sky Tree.
The shape of the Gain Tower used to be like this. It's the same in CG and the like. I think this is the shape that's still on the market. I was surprised when I first saw the vibration control device at the top of the Gain Tower shaped like an inverted triangular top.
At the time of the blueprint stage of this photo, the design of the Gain Tower had not been completed, so it was probably made from imagination.
