TOKYO TOWER, Tokyo Tower

Hi, my name’s Rick, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: Tokyo Tower.

Tokyo Tower is one of the most universally known symbols of the city.

With a height of 333 meters, it is the second-highest structure in Japan. In compliance with air safety regulations, it is painted orange and white, making it easily visible from a distance and bringing a dash of color to the futuristic skyline of the city.

Built in 1958 and modeled on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tokyo Tower was initially used as a broadcasting antenna and observation point, while today it is one of the city’s major tourist attractions: although it still transmits TV and radio signals, it has been visited by over 150 million people since it was built.

Two fast elevators take visitors up to the terraces, which offer breath-taking views over Tokyo from heights of 150 and 250 meters....
