The Tokyo Tower is Japan's answer to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It soars above the Tokyo metropolis, a symbol of Japan's reemergence as a major economic power after the devastation of World War II.
The Tokyo Tower is located at Minato-ku, Tokyo, and serves two purposes – landmark and broadcasting antenna. Thus, it is painted white and international orange in compliance with aviation safety regulations.
The tower is dazzling. With 176 floodlights positioned in various parts of the tower. At night, the tower casts a bright glow that beckons and invites, making it one of Japan's most popular tourist attractions. During spring and winter, it is lit a bright orange. Come summer and fall, and the lights are changed to silver. The lights are set aglow every night from dusk to 11 in the evening.
