Inspired by the Eiffel Tower, the Tokyo Tower was built in 1958 and is painted bright orange and white. Standing 1,092 feet high, the building was the country's tallest structure until 2012 and is now the second tallest. The tower's main observatory sits at 492 feet and can be reached either by elevator or by climbing a set of 600 stairs; from here, elevators bring visitors up to the special observatory, which sits at a height of 820 feet. Directly underneath the tower, visitors will find a variety of museums, shops, and restaurants in a four-story complex known as FootTown.
