The Tokyo Tower was built for the purpose of transmitting broadcast waves in 1958. Its height is 333m. The Tower is taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris and was the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower at that time. The tower has been popular with people as the symbol of the recovery of postwar Japan and the origin of Japan's rapid economic growth.
