The Tokyo Tower

The Tokyo Tower is one of the largest structures in Japan. Actually, it is the second largest structure in Japan. At nearly 332.5 meters it's gigantic. Conversion wise, that's 1,091 ft high! that's almost a mile in height! The tower was built back in 1958 and is mostly for tourism and antenna leasing purposes. Several major Japanese television companies use the Tokyo Tower for broadcasting power through the use of antennas set up there. To give a description, the Tokyo Tower looks similar to the Eiffel Tower only it's a maroon-ish color instead of silver.
