The Birds Eye View
One of Tokyo’s most popular sightseeing attractions would be the Tokyo
Tower. Standing 333 meters high in the centre of Tokyo, Tokyo Tower is the
world's tallest, self-supported steel tower and 13 meters taller than its model,
the Eiffel Tower. Located in Minto Ward it is a symbol of Japan's post-war
rebirth as a major economic power. The tower's main observatory at 150
meters is reached via elevator or a 600-step staircase. Thanks to the tower's
central location, the observatory offers an interesting view of the city despite
being only at a relatively moderate height. If it is fine, visitors can also see the
Boso peninsula, Mt. Tsukuba and even Mt. Fuji far in the distance. From the
observation cafe at night, visitors can overlook the dazzling night view of
Tokyo while drinking tea. On the Club 333 special stage set up next to the
tower, jazz, pop and other music events are held under the concept of night
scenery and music.
