Tokyo Tower is located in Minato, Tokyo. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tokyo Tower was built in 1958 to serve as a communications tower. The tower stands at 333 meters tall, which is about eleven hundred feet and is the second tallest structure in Tokyo (after the Tokyo Skytree). Since it’s opening in 1958, over 150 million people have visited this landmark. Tourism, in fact, is it’s main sourcees of revenue. As with nearly every tower in Japan, Tokyo Tower is painted with the same orange and white color scheme — this to comply with aviation safety regulations. Tokyo Tower is re-painted every five years and can take up to a full year to complete. There are two observations decks. The main deck, which is the lowest, is at 150 meters from the base. This deck has two floors or levels, each offering 360-degree views of Tokyo. You’ll come out on the second, or top floor when you arrive and step off the elevator. There’s a gift shop here, and a tour guide robot named, Tawabo, who provides information about the tower in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. The Tower also has its own shrine. The lower level has a cafe, and you can take a selfie on the glass see-through floor. For an extra fee, you can ride to the upper, secondary deck. This one is about 250 meters up. So how do you get there: If you take the city subway, there are three stations that are within about 5 or 10 minutes walking distance. The Kamiyacho station, the Onarimon Station, the Akabanebashi Station, A little further out is the Hamamatsucho Station. Now, this one is on the JR Train.
