Japan - Tokyo tower
- 4 years ago
Tokyo Tower is built in 1958. It is Japan’s communications and observation tower in the Shiba-koen district of Minato. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safetyregulations At 332.9 metres (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan.
The tower's main sources of income are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower. FootTown, a four-story building directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from there, guests can visit two observation decks. The two-story Main Deck (formerly known as the Main Observatory) is at 150 metres (490 ft), while the smaller Top Deck (formerly known as the Special Observatory) reaches a height of 249.6 metres (819 ft). The names were changed following renovation of the top deck in 2018.
