Skytree, located in Sumida Ward and completed in 2012, stands at a height of 634 meters. The tower has two observation areas — Tembo Deck at 350 meters and Tembo Galleria at 450 meters. For visitors to be able to properly enjoy the view from either deck, however, the windows must be kept clean.
That’s where Takuma Tachibana and his fearless colleagues come in. The workers clean the tower and the surrounding buildings six or seven times a month. “You don’t often get the chance to look at scenery from this kind of height,” Tachibana says. “Being able to take in this view and feel the breeze without any windows in front of you is one of the privileges of the job. When there’s no glass, you see the full panorama and get a sense of realism.” Story in bio link. 📹: Chisato Tanaka
