Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft) (from Wikipedia).

Printing Tips

Suggested parameters:

15 or 20mm/s outer perimeters, for better details
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: as low as 12%

No supports needed. 

A version split in two parts is available and recommended, because when printed as a single body, the top part may wobble and print out of alignment to the central axis.

Print both separate parts at once, so the thin antenna has time to cool and set. There may be some stringing, should be easy to clean after with a knife or heat gun. You can use a brim or raft to secure the adhesion and diminish wobble.
