Tobu Tower Skytree Co Ltd, the operator of Tokyo Skytree, has kicked off "Detective Conan x Tokyo Skytree The Dazzling Skytree", its first collaborative event, with the popular anime series Detective Conan, until July 14.

The 450m-high Tembo Galleria has an exhibition featuring the event's key visuals, with limited-edition goods that are only available at the event and special cafe menu items are offered on this floor.

In addition, a photo shoot service is available to visitors who want a picture of themselves with their favourite "Detective Conan" characters, according to a statement.

Meanwhile, on the 350m-high Tembo Deck, exclusive videos are screened on the windows converted into a giant screen of Skytree Round Theater, while the exterior of the tower will have a special "Detective Conan"-themed lighting inspired by various characters from the anime.

Tokyo Skytree's official character Sorakara-chan, dressed in the costume of Detective Conan, also has four meet-and-greet sessions every day with visitors to pose for snapshots taken with them. Guests can also purchase special entry tickets that include a novelty card featuring the beloved anime.

The 634m-high Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest free-standing broadcasting tower, with two observation decks, namely the Tembo Deck and the Tembo Galleria, commanding a spectacular panoramic view of Tokyo.

At night, the tower is colourfully lit up in three lighting styles, characterised by a pale blue, Edo purple, and the auspicious tangerine hue, with special lighting that can be seen during seasonal and other events. - Bernama
