Tokyo Tower was finished in 1958, and is modeled on the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It stands at 333 meters tall, and is the tallest self supporting steel tower in the world.
Tourists can go up the tower and get great views of Tokyo from the observatory at 250 meters. On a good day you can see for miles, and even spot Mt.Fuji in the far distance.
At the bottom of the tower are several attractions, including a wax works museum and an aquarium. Next to the Tower is one of Tokyo's most famous temples: the Zojoji Temple.
I'd love to visit Tokyo Tower - I think it's a must when visiting Tokyo! I bet the views from up there are amazing!
