Tokyo Tower, the Symbol of Tokyo. Let’s Visit This Famous Spot!
Tokyo Tower is a tower whose official name is Nihon Denpato (Japanese radio tower). It is located in Shiba Koen Park, Minato, Tokyo.
Its height is 333 meters.
The Tokyo Tower was the tallest tower in Japan until the Tokyo Skytree tower was built, standing at 634m. The Tokyo Tower is now the second tallest tower, after Tokyo Skytree.
There is a large park and a temple named Zojo-ji nearby that you can visit together. At night the area is beautiful with lit up buildings and the Tokyo Tower glowing red.
Inside the tower, there are souvenir shops and an observatory.
