No, no, this is Tokyo Tower, which resembles Paris' Eiffel Tower but failed to gain the global recognition of its Parisian twin, standing at 333m-tall with orange and white stripes, was once the world's tallest self-supported steel structure., Tokyo Tower turned 50 in December 2008 and in recent years, it has become harder to spot the tower among the ciyt's growing number of ever more boldly designed skyscrapers. In 2011, it will lose its distinction as the city's tallest structure to a new television tower, the Tokyo Sky Tree which, at 610m, is nearly twice as high.
Nippon Television City, the owner of Tokyo Tower plans to renovate the Tower and hopes that it will survive another 50 years of glory history.
