From The Wall Street Journal:
[quote="Andrew Joyce"]Welcome to Tokyo, city of the future.
While construction of the city’s massive new landmark, the SkyTree, proceeds nearby at a rate of knots, life in sleepy Mukojima continues much as it has for decades. With the peace and quiet set to be broken once the tower opens in Spring 2012, it might be worth visiting now before the big changes start.
Mukojima, buried deep in Tokyo’s eastern side, is an area of narrow streets and rickety houses, with a faded patina that harks back to Japan’s golden postwar era. It’s also one of the few areas of the city where geisha still ply their trade. We’re a long way from the gleaming skyscrapers and neon of “Lost in Translation.â€

As I probably mentioned elsewhere, my apartment is right opposite the new tower, so occasionally I take snaps of the progress. Here's a few I've taken...

Not the best pic, but here's one I took awhile ago.
I always thought it kind of resembled Hedorah flying...but "flying gold turd" sounds much better

Here's a couple of photos I took:
I took this from the bridge at the Sumida River on the Asakusa side:
This is from a street near Asakusa's Nakamise Av.:
