Tokyo Tower Live Cam

History

Tokyo Tower, an iconic symbol of Japan's capital, was completed in 1958. The structure was designed by architect Tachū Naito and constructed by the Takenaka Corporation. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tokyo Tower stands at an impressive height of 333 meters (1,092 feet), making it the second tallest structure in Japan after the Tokyo Skytree. The primary purpose of Tokyo Tower was to serve as a broadcasting antenna for television and radio signals, which were increasingly essential in post-war Japan.
