In Japan, there are many symbolic places. Tokyo also has many symbols and probably the most famous one is here, Tokyo tower.
Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.9 metres (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Just as the Eiffel Tower is often used in popular culture to immediately locate a scene in Paris, France, the Tokyo Tower is often used in the same way for Tokyo. The tower is also frequently used in the Japanese kaiju film genre.
If you want to watch Tokyo tower with greens, probably best way to watch is from Shiba park.
Shiba park is a public park nearby the tower offering a great view with nature in a heart of Tokyo. The most recommended spot is the park’s promenade where you can enjoy the view of lined-up trees and the tower.
The next to Tokyo tower, there is a Zojooji Temple which is the temple that view of the main hall with the tower behind is just so unrealistic. Enjoy the great combination of future and past.
