At the time of construction of Tokyo Tower (1957/ - 1958/) Compared to steel quality, welding technology, and various typesStructural calculation(simulation) And other design technologies and special construction methods for foundations have made great progress, and the area is much smaller than the building area of ​​Tokyo Tower, but it is self-supporting at this height.Steel towerIt became possible to construct.Also, the entire main jointWeldingAlthough it is constructed by, it uses a branch joint that directly welds and joins steel pipes to reduce weight and increase earthquake resistance.The main steel materials areH steelnotSteel pipeWas used.Since the structure is a complexity that is rarely seen for a steel structure and the accuracy of dimensions required for each member is an order of magnitude higher than that of a general building, the factories that produce steel members have a high level in Japan. Many were temporarily busy making Skytree components.For this reason, there are many parts where manual craftsmanship contributes to some of the welding work.^[9].

January 2006Dai-ichi Life Economic Research InstitutePrediction issued by^[10] According to the report, it is assumed that 1 million people will visit in one year from the opening, and the economic effect is estimated to be 300 billion yen.In addition, according to the Sumida Ward "Survey Report on Regional Revitalization by the New Tower" published in January 473, the number of visitors to Tokyo Skytree is 2008 million per year, and the development block including commercial facilities attached to Tokyo Skytree. The total number of visitors is estimated to be 1 a year.^[11].

Tower design lighting

200611/24The design was published in.It is designed based on the following three concepts.

• Creating a cityscape that transcends time and space: A fusion of traditional Japanese beauty and futuristic design
• A detonator for revitalizing the town: 3 gates and 2 observatories where you can feel the bustle and familiarity
• cityDisaster preventionContribution to "Safety and Security": Ancient Japanese Architecture "Five-storied pagodaA new structural system that leads to

The inside of the tower is a cylinder (H375 made of reinforced concrete with a diameter of about 8 m, and the inside of the cylinder is a staircase), which is structurally independent of the outer truss part.EarthquakeSuppress shaking due toSeismic control structureIt has become.Nikken Sekkei, which designed the tower, uses this vibration control system.Five-storied pagodaIt was reported by the media as if the five-storied pagoda technology had been used because it was called "shinbashira vibration control" by analogy.However, the seismic control structure of the five-storied pagoda has not been clarified, and it is actually an application of modern vibration control technology.^[22]..In addition, a vibration damping device (total weight of about 100 tons, which suppresses the shaking of the antenna with a weight on a spring) is installed on the "gain tower" to which the antenna is attached, and is added together with the weight of the pillar itself. Form a mass mechanism.Gain towerPerimeter Of直径Approximately 6m, antenna outer diameter approximately 8m^[23].

The horizontal cross section of the tower is just above the groundEquilateral triangleHowever, the higher it is, the more it changes to a rounded triangle, and it becomes a circle at H320.The appearance is "getting up" (mukuri)Japanese swordJapan that makes use of the gentle "warp" curve ofTraditionbuildingThe aesthetic element of warpage is also included by making full use of the idea of^[17]..For this reason, depending on the direction in which the tower is viewed, it looks like it is tilted or the hem is asymmetrical.

Name

The tentative name until the official name was decided was "New Tokyo Tower".The official name was narrowed down to six from the 1 proposals submitted by the general public, by the "New Tower Name Review Committee" consisting of 8,606 experts.Based on the beauty and familiarity of words, "Tokyo Sky Tree""Tokyo EDO Tower""Rising tower""Mirai Tower""Dream Miyagura""Rising East TowerWas selected as a name candidate, and in the spring of 6インターネットA general vote was held through.As a result, the highest number of votes, "Tokyo Sky TreeHas been decided^[38].

The most popular "Oedo Tower" in the open call for participants is near the planned tower construction site.Japanese sweetsYa (Morihachi Honpo Co., Ltd.) has already acquired the trademark in anticipation of deciding the name of the tower, and the third place "Sakura Tower" has been around for a long time.Takanawa Prince Hotel"Sakura Tower" was already registered as a trademark, so it could not be used.^{[Annotation 6]}.."New Tokyo Tower", which was used as a tentative name, is similar to the existing Tokyo Tower, and the building has nothing to do with Japan Radio Tower Co., Ltd. (currently TOKYO TOWER Co., Ltd.), which manages Tokyo Tower. It was removed.When it was a candidate site, the name "Sumida Tower" was used on the project homepage, but it was linked with the Taitung area.2007/It has disappeared since summer.

"Tokyo Sky Tree" is a registered trademark of Tobu Railway and Tobu Tower Sky Tree (No. 5143175 and others).

Degree of attention

Due to the great topic of being the best building in Japan and the best radio tower in the world, it was widely covered in various mass media even before its completion.Since the special program covering the Sky Tree under construction has been broadcast on TV from time to time, it has become a "new attraction in Tokyo" during the construction period, and people who shoot the tower on holidays The area is crowded with spectators.

In addition, it will be the first in Japan for overall heating and cooling.Underground heatUsedDistrict heat supplyThe system has been adopted, and it is attracting attention from that point as well.^[39].

Tokyo Sky Tree as a radio tower

There are 1 terrestrial digital TV broadcasting antennas for one station at the top of the gain tower for eight stations (for NHK and five wide-area commercial broadcasters in Tokyo (hereinafter six TV companies in Tokyo), one of which is a spare antenna) Is installed, and a broadcasting antenna for TOKYO MX is installed under it.An FM radio antenna is installed near a height of 80 m, and a multimedia broadcasting antenna is installed below it.TransmitterThe room is located on the H350 floor above the heavenly deck floor 360^[44].

Tokyo Sky Tree as an observation facility

Lightning

In order to elucidate the mechanism of lightning strikes, a logoski coil of a measuring device that constantly monitors the occurrence of lightning strikes and records changes in current magnitude and waveform is installed in a hexagonal shape at the base of the gain tower at 497 m above the ground. Being, Tobu Tower Sky Tree,Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo,Central Research Institute of Electric Power IndustryThe joint research of the three parties started in March 3.It is expected that lightning strikes 2012 to 3 times a year near the height of 500 m where the gain tower extends, and more data can be accumulated than on the ground.An example of installing a measuring device in a skyscraper with a height of more than 20 m is from Canada.CN towerIn the future, we can expect rare research results in the world, and based on these results, we hope to lead to the development of electronic devices that are resistant to lightning and prevent lightning damage.^[93][94][95].

Program aired on TV TOKYO on June 2017, 6 ``Sunday big variety/ Shooting permission, I got it! ~ Gachi negotiations! According to the explanation of the person in charge of the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry in "SP for the first time on TV", there were 5 lightning strikes in 62 years from the start of observation.^[96].

Attracting activities and the process until the construction site is decided

"Six companies in Tokyo new tower promotion project" is the construction site of the new tower The first candidate site is "SumidaTaito"Area", the second candidate site is "Saitama ShintoshinHowever, it was decided on March 2006, 3 as "Sumida / Taitung area".^[191]..By the time the decision was made, a number of activities were carried out in various parts of Tokyo.

Tokyo

Sumida

The "Narihirabashi / Oshiage district" in Sumida-ku, Tokyo, which was the first candidate site, is on the Tobu Isesaki line.Narihirabashi StationIt is an area centered on the site of a freight station located between a part of the premises and Oshiage Station (Keisei Oshiage Line, Toei Asakusa Line, Tobu Isesaki Line, Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line).The owner of the site is Tobu Railway, and the company will bear the construction cost of about 500 billion yen as the business entity.

20058/25, The companyNHK・ Since the six companies in Tokyo and Sumida Ward exchanged a "three-party confirmation letter" to discuss the construction decision and agreed to make a final decision at the end of December, Sumida Ward could be decided as a candidate site. It became influential.However, due to the fact that the plan to renovate and use the current Tokyo Tower has not disappeared and the negotiations over the rent at the new Tokyo Tower have been difficult between the broadcaster side and Tobu Railway, it will be within the year on December 6th. The decision was abandoned and changed to the decision by the end of March 12 (Heisei 12).

Sumida Ward and Tobu Railway explained that the decision time was postponed because the consultation time was insufficient. 2006 (Heisei 18)3/25NHK and 6 companies in Tokyo officially decided to build in Sumida Ward,31th of the same monthA press release was made in.

The operating company of Tokyo TowerJapan Radio TowerIt is,2004/In the summer of (16), the height of Tokyo Tower was raised by about 30 meters from the current level to broadcasters, and after the end of analog TV broadcasting, the analog TV antenna was removed and replaced with a digital TV antenna, and the transmitting antenna position. The plan was to install the TV at 90 meters above the ground, which is about 350 meters higher than the current one.In the case of this plan, the repair cost is about 500 billion yen, which is cheaper than the construction cost of about 40 billion yen for the new Tokyo Tower, and it is said that there is a big difference in the rent of broadcasting facilities compared to the new tower of each station. ..The company earns about 6% of its income from rents such as broadcasting-related equipment, and when the new Tokyo Tower is completed, all the equipment of the broadcasting company will be moved to Tokyo Sky Tree, resulting in a significant decrease in income. ..

Although these movements were not widely reported, the company announced in 2007 (Heisei 19).9/21It was reported that the antenna would be raised from 80 meters to 100 meters to support the complete transition to terrestrial digital broadcasting.

"Saitama Tower" was a candidate site next to "Sumida / Taito area" because it has an excellent backup function in the event of an earthquake in Tokyo due to the new tower promotion project of 6 companies in Tokyo.Officials in Saitama Prefecture and Saitama City worked hard to attract the "Saitama Tower" in an attempt to improve the image of "Saitama", but the radio wavesinterferenceIt is estimated that there will be about 14 households, which is about seven times as large as the "Sumida / Taitung area", and the cost of countermeasures will be even larger.

Discussion on the pros and cons of the new tower construction itself and its location

The advantages and disadvantages of constructing a new radio tower in the Kanto area were discussed.

In northern Kanto, Utsunomiya (Utsunomiya) due to geographical conditionsUtsunomiya Tower) ・ Haruna (Maebashi Television Station) It will be possible to receive terrestrial digital broadcasting even in areas where waves cannot be received and even the reception level of tower waves is low.It is expected that the area will be substantially expanded by changing the TOKYO MX of the prefectural area station to 16 channels with less interference in Ibaraki prefecture and moving to Skytree without the current transmission output and directivity. Was there.On the other hand, TOKYO MX will be able to deliver broadcasts to the entire area of ​​Tokyo by moving the master station to Tokyo Sky Tree and transmitting from a position higher than Tokyo Tower, but spillover will occur on a large scale by that amount. It was repelled by an independent broadcasting station in a neighboring prefecture.

When considering the construction of a TV tower in the Akihabara area in the past, one of the reasons for the suspension of construction was that "a high-sensitivity receiver may generate noise directly under the radio tower."For this reason, there are similar concerns at Tokyo Skytree.^[196].

Question that it may be necessary to change the direction of the TV antenna because it will be in a different place from Tokyo Tower^[197] However, the opinion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Engineering Department of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, etc. is "no problem".^[198] Is. According to the simulation up to 2009 (Heisei 21), sufficient electric field strength can be obtained even in the direction of 90 degrees, which is the most difficult to receive with respect to the Sky Tree.However, reception in the immediate vicinity will attenuate it.AttenuatorIt may be more stable to use.

Regarding the orientation of the antenna, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is the Information and Communications Council Information and Communications Policy Subcommittee "The 42nd Review Committee on Promotion of Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting" (2009 (21))1/16At the event), he said, "The shift of the master station of terrestrial digital broadcasting in the Kanto area from Tokyo Tower to Tokyo Sky Tree will have almost no impact on viewers."The strength of radio waves is strong in the 23 wards of Tokyo, and there is a high possibility that you can watch terrestrial digital broadcasting programs even if the antenna is not facing the Tokyo Sky Tree, and it is located in areas far from Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree. There was a view that the relationship would not change relatively, so there would be almost no impact on the viewers.^{[Annotation 14]}..However, in reality, radio interference as described later occurred, causing a large delay in the transition schedule.

Problems with Tokyo Sky Tree

Economic side

It is expected that the creation of the Tokyo Sky Tree will bring more tourists to the area and revitalize local commerce.However, when recruiting tenants, although priority was given to local shops, the rent was high (the unit price per tsubo in Sumida Ward is around 1 yen, but Skytree is 3 to 5 yen), so it was decided not to enter one. Tata^[199]..As a result, Tokyo Skytree has a large-scale commercial facility, and in the short term, it is local.Shopping districtIs likely to put pressure on^[196]..In the long run, as many tourist towers and tourist facilities built in the past in JapanTheme parkThe number of visitors is decreasing as time passes from the opening due to the decline in value and obsolescence.To secure a stable number of visitorsTokyo Disneyland,Tokyo Disney SeaincludingTokyo Disney ResortIt has been pointed out that relying heavily on the tourism value of the tower itself entails significant management risks, as huge reinvestments such as are required but the costs are not sufficiently secured.^[200].

Entering 2018, the number of visitors is decreasing year by year^[201](7% compared to the year after opening) Background^[202] Announced a policy to reduce the price of group reservation customers from April 2019^[202]..In addition, the number of visitors to Skytree Town has decreased from 4476 million in the opening year to 3078 million.^[202].

Environmental and safety aspects

In the surrounding area, by a large number of tourists and spectators who visited Tokyo Sky TreeIllegal parking, GarbageLittering,Standing piss, Midnight / early morning noise, traffic jams,Walking cigaretteEtc. are also a problem^[203][204].

It is also said that the wind hits the tower body and the wind noise becomes noise.^[205].

Electromagnetic waveMedical research on the effects of electromagnetic waves on the human body is still underway, but electromagnetic waves have caused local residents toElectromagnetic hypersensitivityIt has been pointed out that the risk of developing the disease may increase.It has also been pointed out that electromagnetic waves may cause electromagnetic interference and affect computers, etc.^[206].

Weather problems

From February to March 2010, it reached about 22 meters, and on April 2, it reached a height of about 3 meters, but at this time it was in Tokyo.SnowfallAnd stuck to the top of the towersnowA piece or lump of^[207]..For this reason, a countermeasures headquarters is set up in the office during snowfall. In late January 2012, damage that was thought to be caused by snowfall occurred within a radius of 1 meters.

Structurally, the cylindrical pillars of the tower are slanted up and down, making it difficult for snow to accumulate, but because the material is metal, it is susceptible to changes in outside temperature.Furthermore, snow tends to accumulate on the observatory, and snow that has accumulated for a long time at a high position tends to become hard like ice, so in case a large lump falls, 2012 (Heisei 24)2/11と12 daysToTobu TowerとObayashi teamCalled passers-by to watch out for snowfall.In addition, Tobu Tower is responding to compensation for the damage.^[208].. By the end of 2012, a total of 150 cameras will be added between 634 meters above the ground and 45 meters above the top, and about 60 guards on the ground will alert pedestrians and residents of falling snow by monitoring the snow cover. I do^[209].. 20131/15Snow lumps with a diameter of 20 cm or more fell on the roof many times, some of them were regulated, and four damages such as holes in the roof of a private house occurred.

In this way, the problem of snowfall has often been pointed out before the opening of Skytree, but the problem of strong winds has also emerged since the opening.On the first day of opening, the elevator operation was suspended as early as the storm, and the second observatory was closed more than two hours earlier.^[210]..Including this day, the observatory was closed on the 2012th in FY25.

In 2013 (Heisei 25), the observatory was closed for 40 days, and the annual number of visitors to Skytree was about 619 million, which was 25 less than expected.^[211].

Radio disturbance

IbarakiKasumigaura CityThe TV watched at was receiving radio waves from Tokyo Tower, but there are areas where it is difficult to receive radio waves due to interference with the radio waves from Tokyo Sky Tree, so radio interference due to Tokyo Sky Tree Was alerting the public^[212][213].

As mentioned above, it is thought that radio interference is unlikely to occur due to the move from Tokyo Tower to Tokyo Sky Tree, and the switching of the six TV companies in Tokyo was scheduled for around January 6.^[51] Has stopped transmitting from Tokyo Tower at midnight between July and October 2012, and conducted a monitor survey of viewer participation using test radio waves transmitted from Tokyo Sky Tree.housing complexIt was found that 10.5% of households and 11% of detached houses could not receive radio waves correctly.Causes include problems with antenna orientation, use of indoor antennas, and installation in strong electric field areas.Receive boosterThere was a problem that the radio wave was amplified and was too strong to be received correctly.Reception failures are not unevenly distributed in the region, but are scattered in dots according to the installation situation, and it is estimated that it will affect about 1 out of about 6 million households and business establishments in 1500 prefectures in the Kanto region. NHK Chairman said that the transfer of functions is expected to be delayed due to the measures against the above reception problems.Masayuki MatsumotoIs 2012 (Heisei 24)11/1Revealed at a press conference^[169][214].

For this reason, 2012 (Heisei 24)12/22Prompts you to confirm the reception of radio waves from Tokyo Sky Tree.Tokyo Sky Tree reception confirmation test』Broadcast started at 6 TV companies in Tokyo, calling for consultation with the Tokyo Skytree Transition Promotion Center if there is a problem, and paying a total of 100 billion yen to take measures to avoid reception problems such as adjusting and replacing antennas in each home Was to be done^{[169][170][171][215]}..In addition, if the reception of broadcasting stations other than the six TV companies in Tokyo (Tele-Tama, Ciba-Tele, tvk, The Open University of Japan, etc.) is affected, the Transition Promotion Center will handle it.Due to this problem, function transfer2013/(25)5/1After that, it was changed to around the end of May of the same year.

Then, as a result of repeatedly received confirmation test, carried out in consultation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications from the fact that number of consultations from viewers with the prospect of reduced corresponding construction, 2013 (25)5/24ToMinister of Internal Affairs and CommunicationsYoshitaka ShindoHowever, in the same year, provided that reception failures do not increase sharply in future test broadcasts and that each station takes all possible measures for reception even after relocation.5/31Announced that it would allow the move to Skytree, and announced that the six TV companies in Tokyo would officially move on the same day.^{[176][177][178]} did.Then, on May 5, the same year, it shifted to broadcasting from Skytree at 31:9.

Works dealing with Tokyo Sky Tree

The Tokyo Sky Tree has received a great deal of attention since it was under construction, and has appeared in various novels and video works as a new symbol of Tokyo.However, since there are so many works that they may appear directly or just as a background, they are omitted.

Also, unlike Tokyo Tower, "Tokyo Sky Tree" is a brand name, so permission from Tobu Tower Sky Tree is required, so if the name cannot be used, avoid mentioning it, such as "Tokyo Sky Tower". In some cases, the name is changed to^{[Annotation 15]}.

Many Tokyo TowerSpecial effects movies,Special effects TV dramaでmonsterI dealt with monsters in recent years, probably because I was defeated byNovel,Comic, In anime, there are many works in which Tokyo Sky Tree is attacked by monsters as a landmark of Tokyo instead of Tokyo Tower.^{[Annotation 16]}.
