Well I was thinking I could just post the info here, but I could make a new thread as well. I haven’t really organized a group event like this before. ---

@tankwidow @whinette @Abbas099 We can create a separate thread and then put that link in the first wiki post (like we did for Tokyo Skytree). We can create a connection between this thread and the new one but keep heavy discussion related to the new initiative on the new thread. ---

It’s 634 meters tall. Level 60 has 1 radical and 32 kanji right now. Let’s try to get to level 60 and complete all radical and kanji lessons before Tokyo Skytree turns 10 years old on May 22, 2022! Along the way, there are two observation decks, at 350 and 450 meters. In my opinion we reach those when we get to level 35 and level 45.

Next stop Tokyo! (Well… when the borders open again) I visited Tokyo in October 2012 and was going to climb it, but it was really expensive then (well I remember it being expensive). ---

For the Tsurukame users on this thread, I have a question. The number of Kanji on Tsurukame differs from the number of Kanji on WK site. They never match on any level. Is this expected? Or am I missing something? Tsurukame Kanji (33) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/a/5/1/a5186d70925baf0691169c595aa7895c01fd7bbb.jpeg) WK Kanji (30) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/8/6/d/86d5710da0023f4b4acac7c858b8254dca3c94fe.jpeg) ---

I think there are 33 total Kanji on level 20, but you only need to get 30 to guru to move on to level 21. Tsurukame shows all kanji, but WaniKani shows only what’s left to level up. ---
