At a height of 1,09 2 feet (333 m), the Tokyo Tower is the world's tallest self-supported iron structure, and higher than the Eiffel Tower by approximately 30 feet (about 9 m) and inspired by the Eiffel Tower constructed in lattice that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. Built in 1958, the tower's main source of income is from tourism and antenna leasing. Every five years Tokyo Tower is repainted and it takes one year to do so. Foot Town, a four storey building directly under the tower houses museums, restaurant and shops. Upon arrival at the Tokyo Tower, take the elevator up to the 500-foot-high (152m high) observation platform for panoramic vistas overlooking the city.

Following your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximate 30-minute drive back to the pier.
