The last destination is Tokyo Tower. Tokyo Tower is a communication tower located in Shiba Park, Minato. It is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world, the tallest artificial structure in Japan and 20th tallest tower in the world. The height of the tower is 332.6m. The tower acts as an antenna for television and radio broadcasts. On the ground, it has a 4 storey of shops. There are 2 type of observation decks. They are 2-storey Main Observatory located at 150m and Special Observatory at 250m.
We can see the tower even from the train station.
On the way to the tower, we passed the small gate.
Then the big gate.
Behind the gate is a temple. Zojoji Temple.
Bigger view of Tokyo Tower from the temple.
At the bottom of the tower.
We took the stairs to the Main Observatory and upon reaching the top, we received a certificate. You can look down from the small square transparent platform.
The view from the top.
And the view when you look down.
After getting some postcards and photos, we went back down and the tower was lighted up. We had to go back to the Tokyo Station by 5pm. So, here ends the Tokyo Orienteering 2008.
