One of the best sightseeing trips that we have taken while here in Tokyo has been to see the Tokyo Tower. After half a day of sightseeing and browsing the famous Ginza Shopping district we decided to head over to the tower, the largest man made structure in Tokyo. Standing at a little over 300 meters the tower is very similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, however it's colours are mostly red with a bit of white. This tower exists for the purpose of sending and receiving telecommunications signals, so it is not just a vanity statement. Interestingly enough, it appears that there will be a similar structure built soon, and it will be over 600 meters high, taller than the CN Tower.
