Tokyo Tower Site Features

The Tokyo Tower is a candid copy of the Eiffel Tower, but at 333 meters, the Tokyo Tower is higher than its European counterpart. It also makes it the highest self-supporting iron tower in the world. However, it is lighter, weighing only around 4,000 tons. The advances in steel manufacturing have made it some 3,000 tons lighter than the Eiffel Tower.

The tower, a member of the World Federation of Great Towers, also has its own attractions. It is home to an aquarium and a wax museum (where the Beatles and other rock stars plus the Last Supper appear frozen in time). Also, on the third floor, you will find the Walking Zone of Hologram Technology. You can have fun with the Trick Art Gallery with its fascinating 3D images of world-famous paintings and sculptures on the fourth floor. Realize and experience how your eyes can play tricks on you with the help of some highly advanced reproductive technology. There are also shops, cafes and a small amusement park.
