What could be a better spot to start the trip with then the top of Tokyo Tower?
TOKYO TOWER:
In 1958 Tokyo Tower, a tower that reminds of the Eiffel Tower but slightly taller (333m tall), was constructed for TV broadcasting. It is the second tallest tower in Japan (the tallest one until the twice as tall Tokyo Skytree was built in 2012). Unlike the Eiffel Tower, it was painted red and white, and the elevators are more modern and situated on the inside of the towers, with windows that offer views on the ride upwards. (The red colour is actually international orange that is used by the air industry). The observation decks of the tower (Main Observatory at 150m and Special Observatory at 250m) offer great views of Tokyo. Glass floors have been installed where you can look right down on the ground beneath your feet. FootTown is a building on the base of the tower that houses museums, shops and restaurants. The tip of the tower was bent after the 2011 earthquake, but has been repaired. Tokyo Tower is situated in the Shiba-koen district of the Minato Ward, near Roppongi. It is very famous landmark that can be visible on Tokyo’s skyline from most angles.
