Tokyo Tower

The Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower in Tokyo, Japan. It was built in 1958 and stands at 332.9 meters tall, making it the second-tallest structure in Japan. The tower is painted white and orange and features an observation deck and a four-story building called FootTown with museums, restaurants, and shops. The tower generates income from tourism and antenna leasing and is repainted every five years. It was used for radio and television broadcasting, but with the completion of the taller Tokyo Skytree in 2012, it is no longer used for that purpose. It is a well-known landmark in the city, appearing frequently in media set in Tokyo.
