The mobile map showed that the walking time from Tokyo Metro Hibiya Station to Tokyo Tower was about 7 minutes, so my son decided that we should follow the navigation and walk there. There are very few pedestrians on the road. Fortunately, there is a navigation guide. From a distance, you can see the Tokyo Tower with red lights in the night sky. It is indeed like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, as the legend says.

Tokyo Tower is a landmark building in Tokyo, located in Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo, with a height of 332.6 meters.

It also has functions such as navigation beacons, wind direction and speed measurement, and temperature measurement.

It was built with the Eiffel Tower in Paris as a model and was completed on October 14, 1958. Since then, it has been the tallest building in Tokyo until the completion of the Tokyo Skytree (634 meters) on February 29, 2012 and it was relegated to second place. . The world ranking is currently outside the top ten, with the top three being Tokyo Skytree (634 meters), Guangzhou Tower (600 meters), and CN Tower (553.3 meters). My son visited the Skytree when he first came to Tokyo, so this time we chose Tokyo Tower.

The lighting time is between sunset and midnight. Tokyo Tower has a large observation deck at 150 meters and a special observation deck at 249.9 meters, which offer a panoramic view of Tokyo and Mount Fuji on a clear day. The night view of Tokyo is still very charming. Stand on the tower and look around. The lights are shining like the starry sky and the universe. The Rainbow Bridge in the distance is particularly beautiful and spectacular. Every city has its own unique style and charm. No matter where you are, the beautiful scenery No country.

The iron tower is supported by four legs and is a pyramid. The tower body is painted in sections of orange and milky white, which is bright and eye-catching. The four-story Tokyo Tower is built directly below. In addition to the entrance and exit to the observatory, it also houses the Tokyo Tower Aquarium and various souvenir shops. Standing on the hollow iron tower and looking down, I am still a little scared of heights. Many people stand there and take pictures, but I don’t dare. As I get older, my courage becomes smaller and smaller without realizing it, and I can’t control my legs. trembling, haha, it’s better to be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year-old ship.

Since analog television broadcasting in Japan was terminated on July 24, 2011, and was replaced by digital television, in order to improve the reception quality, the responsibility of Tokyo Tower was replaced by the 634-meter-high Tokyo Skytree in Sumida Ward, Tokyo from 2013.

Before the birth of Tokyo Tower, the tallest tower in the world was the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, but the Tokyo Tower surpassed it by 13 meters, reaching a height of 333 meters. However, the construction materials used were only half of those of the Eiffel Tower, and it took a year and a half to build the tower. With such little materials and such a short time, this giant typhoon-resistant and earthquake-resistant behemoth was erected on the ground, which shocked the world.

It is said that when the Tokyo Tower was built, part of the cemetery of Zojoji Temple on the original site was destroyed. It is said that supernatural phenomena often occur here. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it would be an adventure if I encountered it.

I left Tokyo Tower and walked back to the apartment along Shiba Park. It took about ten minutes. Tokyo was very quiet at night. I met a family of four foreigners riding a bicycle at night and a policeman on night patrol. I saw almost no locals. . I bought breakfast for the next day at a convenience store near my residence, choosing bread, milk, snacks and microwave food, and ended the entire first day of the tour.
