In Japan, the 634-meter-tall Tokyo Skytree is regarded as a tree symbolizing happiness. This time, it takes the form of a 6.34-meter-tall “Tree of Happiness” at the “Southern Plaza” on the Xinyi Road side of Taipei 101 Mall. Visitors wishing to make a wish can pick up wooden “ema” (wishing plaques) flown in from Japan at the Tokyo Skytree booth in Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center during the Taipei International Travel Fair from November 7th to 10th—limited to 634 plaques per day. From November 11th to 23rd, wishing plaques will also be distributed daily at the Tree of Happiness event plaza, again limited to 634 pieces per day for visitors to experience.After the event, all the “ema” hung on the Tree of Happiness will be taken back to Japan’s renowned Nikko’s Futarasan Shrine for prayers and blessings.

During the travel fair, mascots of both landmarks will meet visitors at the event plaza. Especially rare is the first appearance of Miss Skytree in a kimono look in Taiwan.(Mascot appearance schedule: 11/7, 11/8 at 11:30 & 13:30, and 11/9 at 11:30—total of 5 appearances)

This is already the third wave of the friendly activities between Tokyo Skytree and Taipei 101 in 2014. Since launching a popular dual-landmark product line in July this year, in August, Taipei 101 traveled to Tokyo Skytree to exhibit selected works from the “Taipei 101 International Photography Competition,” allowing more locals and tourists to learn about Taipei 101 and through it, discover Taiwan. Then, in November, Tokyo Skytree once again took the opportunity of the travel fair to visit Taiwan and joined hands with Taipei 101 to launch the “Tree of Happiness Wish Activity.”
