Tokyo Tower (東京タワー Tōkyō tawā) is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.5 metres (1,091 ft), it is the second tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended
for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and
the tower is now used to broadcast signals for Japanese media outlets
such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV.
The Tokyo Tower has two mascots named Noppon. They are two brothers: Older Brother, who wears blue dungarees, and Younger Brother, who wears red dungarees.
