Tokyo Tower is a white and orange international communications and observation tower. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it stands 332.6 meters tall. Its base rests on an 80-meter square. Between its pillars is a four-story gray and black building, Foot Town, a shopping mall with a gallery and tourist attractions, including an aquarium.
The main observatory is 145 meters high and is the first duplex floor of the tower. It is accessed by elevators located in the tower's three pillars, or by a 600-step staircase.
There are observation tables, souvenir shops, a Shinto shrine, and a small concert hall.
The special observatory is 250 meters high and is the top floor of the tower. It consists of a circular glass gallery that offers a panoramic view of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.
Just above the top floor, there is the digital television transmission system, and therefore its antenna.
