Tokyo - Shiodome

After walking all over Ueno and Marunouchi my feet were killing me so I took a taxi to the Tokyo Towers. The driver was really niced and used his limited english to point out foreign embassies to me along the way.

Tokyo Tower ladies and gents. It was build in 1958 and is a broadcasting tower. It is 333 meters tall and it modeled after the Effiel Tower in Paris.

Overpriced, not so good food at Tokyo Tower
