Walk in Tokyo: Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower(東京タワー, Tōkyō-tawā) is a high-rising tower located in the centre of Tokyo. The tower was finished in 1958 as a symbol of Japan as one of the greatest economic powers in the world. An amazing fact is, the Tokyo Tower is actually taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris by 13m. It is 333m tall.
It costs about ¥1500(about $16/£11) to get to the top, and if the weather's good, you can even see the Mount Fuji, the holy mountain of Japan. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tokyo.
