Tokyo Tower

This is one of the best-known towers in the world. Made of prefabricated steel, Tokyo Tower is called light because it weighs only 4,000 metric tonnes. At a height of 1,092 feet (333 metres), it is the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower.

Since its opening in 1958, it has become well known to visitors around the world, not only as one of Tokyo's popular sightseeing attractions, but also as the symbol of Tokyo as an international city. All of Tokyo's nine television and four FM radio stations are transmitted throughout the entire metropolitan area from Tokyo Tower.

Various gauges and instruments mounted on top of the tower monitor the condition of the air above Tokyo and the traffic conditions in the streets below. The lights of Tokyo Tower, suspending it beautifully in the night sky, are made up of 164 flood lights installed on the various parts of the tower.
