Tokyo Tower
333m Iconic Landmark, Symbol of Japanese Rebirth & Go Kart Tour Experience
Rise above the skyline and delve into the history of the iconic Tokyo Tower. Standing tall at an impressive height of 333 meters, this architectural marvel surpasses the Eiffel Tower by nearly 3 meters. Tokyo Tower is indeed a symbol of Japanese resilience, rebirth, and economic recovery after World War II.
The marvel and magnificence of the Tokyo Tower is a masterpiece given that it was designed and built in one year and half (June 1957 – December 1958). With handwritten drawing and a dedicated workforce of 220,000 laborers working tirelessly from 6am – 6pm daily, this incredible feat was accomplished without the aid of machines and harnesses. Legends of the construction tells tales of bolts and nuts being thrown and caught; a perilous technique known as the death catch.
One distinctive feature of Tokyo Tower’s design is its flexibility, enabling it to absorb seismic shocks. This remarkable attribute proved its resilience when the tower survived the devastating Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011.
