The Tokyo Tower is one of the iconic monuments you must
visit when you come to Tokyo. It is also one of the most destroyed structure in
anime and in a lot of the Godzilla movies. Some of my favorite movies of all
time I like the original. Godzilla (Gojira)
is the giant monster from the series of tokusatsu films that first appeared in
Ishirō Honda's 1954 film Godzilla.

An amazing feat of structural engineering. Built in 1958,
the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over

(819 ft).

They make the elevator hard to see at the center with its design.
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for
television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961, but the tower
is now used to broadcast signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS
and Fuji TV.
