2. Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower is the 333 metres tall (332,6 for precision’s sake) symbol of Tokyo. It is designed off the Eiffel Tower by architect Taichū Naitō, although it is exactly 7,6 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower. It weighs 4000 tonnes and was constructed between 1957 and 1958.
In summer it is illuminated by 176 white lights (to cool..?) and in winter by 176 orange ones (to warm up…?)
It’s antennae was twisted during the 2011 earthquake, and it’s radio and television functiona were moved to Tokyo Sky Tree.
