TOKYO TOWER

If Eiffel Tower is a significant symbol of Paris, Tokyo also has a very similar tower in shape, but much mor younger. Opened in 1958, Tokyo Tower is 333 m tall and weights 4000 tons (almost a half of Eiffel Tower). It is painted in orange and white according to the Civil Aeronotic Law : 28 000 liters of paint ! Four analog waves and 10 digital waves are transmitted from the Tower. Illumination are different depending on the season : orange light in winter and white incandescent light in summer. After 10 years in Tokyo, I never went to its top...
