Do you know that Tokyo Tower is the highest in the world as the self-supporting tower made of steel?
The tower is 333 m in height.
It is taller than the Eiffel Tower (320 m high) in Paris.
Tokyo Tower has two observatories at 150 m and 250 m high, where you can get a fine view of the huge metropolitan area before your eyes.
The observatories keep ranking high in the tourist attraction of Tokyo since its opening in 1958.
Those are always full of domestic and overseas tourists.
You hear a lot of interjections of several foreign languages flying about back and forth there.
"Look Down Window", the tempered glass window built into the floor of the main observatory, is very popular with visitors. The view right just under looked down from the window is really thrilling. The person with the acrophobia should not get close to that.
