Tokyo Tower
The Tokyo Tower stands high in Tokyo, it looks like the Eiffel Tower but it is a communications tower. The Tokyo Tower is 9m higher than the Eiffel Tower and is the 11th tallest building in the world.
You can go to the two observation desks in the Tokyo Tower but neither are near the top of the tower. The views from the decks still are amazing and you can see all of Tokyo and Mount Fuji. On the first floor of the Main Observatory there are two 'look down windows' that allow you to stand over the window and see down to the ground.
