The shinbashira was put to the test before Tokyo Skytree was even finished. When the Great East Japan Earthquake struck on March 11, 2011, the tower was still under construction, but the shake-reduction technology worked as planned, and all construction staff members on site were safe that day. The structure was also unscathed, and just a week later, on March 18, workers affixed the lightning rod to the top of the tower, bringing it to its full height of 634 meters.
