Tokyo Tower

I was a bit depressed after my Giants lost last week so I decided I was going to find the highest point in Tokyo and throw myself off the edge. So I set out to find it. Seriously though Tokyo Tower is the tallest self supporting steel structure in the entire world. Yes, it's even bigger than the Eiffel Tower. (TAKE THAT FRANCE!) It's approximately 332.6 meters (1,091 ft) high. It also functions as a radio and communications tower. When you go to visit it, you can either go up to the first station (that's the large white rectangular portion of the tower) or you can up to the top. I opted for the top. You can pretty much see the entire city of Tokyo from up there, it's pretty cool. However the elevator that brings you up to the top is kind of sketchy. It makes alot of weird noises but according to the announcement those noise are "completely normal". The jury is still out on that. Despite that scariness I was able to get a picture with the outline of Mt. Fuji in it. All in all I'd say it's worth it just to get a really cool view of Tokyo.
