Apparently, in 3 years Tokyo will have a new Tokyo Tower.
It will stand in the area near Oshiage eki, and will be the tallest structure in the world (610.58m/2003ft tall, that's around twice the "old" tokyo tower's height!)
The official name hasn't still be decided.
In march 2008, Tokyo citizens took part in a public poll and choose six possibile names. The possible names are:
Tokyo Edo Tower 東京EDOタワー
Tokyo Sky Tree 東京スカイツリー
Mirai Tree みらいタワー
Yume Miyagura ゆめみやぐら
Rising East Tower ライジングイーストタワー
Rising Tower ライジングタワー
check this out 2008.4.1 for an explanation on the meaning of every possibile name.
What do you think about it?
I love architecture and extremely tall buildings! I can't wait to climb it.
But the names... they're terrible. I personally would choose Yume Miyagura, but, according to rumors, the official name will be Rising East Tower.
Which name would you choose?

The sakura really compliment the tower in that artist's rendition.
Also, here's a picture of the site it's being constructed at. It doesn't look very nice.
