Did you know that you can climb Tokyo Tower on foot?

There are stairs leading up to the main deck at a height of 150 meters.

There are about 600 steps, but even children can climb them in about 15 minutes, so if you’re confident in your physical strength, why not give it a try? Of course, you can also take the stairs only on the way down.

Unlike the elevator, you can experience the air and scenery 150 meters above the ground.

When names were solicited for Tokyo Tower, there seemed to be many suggestions such as:

・Peace Tower

・Showa Tower

・Japan Tower

The most popular was “Showa Tower” with 86,269 submissions.

However, in the end, it was decided to be “Tokyo Tower” based on the geographical name.

As a name for a tower that would become the world’s tallest, “Showa Tower” might have been too weak to make its name known to the world.

Tokyo Tower

It is said that the work site during the construction of Tokyo Tower was incredibly harsh by today’s standards.

There were no safety nets to prevent falls, no safety belts for workers, and no handrails, yet the construction workers were performing tasks at high altitudes.

They apparently worked as long as the wind speed was below 15m/s. A wind speed of 15m/s means the wind travels 15 meters per second, which translates to 54km/h! This is a situation where strong wind advisories are issued.

It’s strong enough to shake entire large trees, making it difficult to walk against the wind, and at sea, the crests of waves break, and white foam is blown away by the wind. It’s comparable to the strong wind area of a typhoon.

Despite this harsh environment, the workers continued their work.

Unfortunately, one construction worker fell to his death due to the strong wind, but the annual number of deaths in the construction industry at that time was 1,846, which makes one even more amazed at the enormity of the Tokyo Tower construction.

Thanks to these many workers, it became a magnificent world-class tower and remains a popular tourist attraction even today.

Tokyo Tower has an image of being red and white, but if you look closely, the red color is actually orange.

It is natural that Tokyo Tower, with its distinctly strong color, does not blend in with the surrounding scenery.

This color scheme is based on aviation law regulations that require buildings exceeding a certain height to be painted red and white.

The orange color that appears red is “International Orange,” a color stipulated by aviation law for safety purposes.

Tokyo Tower is designed to not blend in with the landscape in order to avoid danger.

It is said that Tokyo Tower is modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Let’s compare their differences.

📃Purpose

🇯🇵Tokyo Tower: Constructed as a symbol of Japan’s recovery and primarily built to serve as a radio tower for television broadcasting. It is a symbolic building of Tokyo’s development as a modern city.

🇫🇷Eiffel Tower: Built for the 1889 Paris Exposition. It was a symbol of modern architectural technology at the time and a landmark to showcase France’s technological prowess.

⚙️Structure

🇯🇵Tokyo Tower: Made of steel, with a stronger structure to withstand Japan’s harsh climate and earthquakes.

🇫🇷Eiffel Tower: Made of iron, with a spatial structure that gives a graceful impression. A lattice design is used for weight reduction and durability.

🎊Opening

🇯🇵Tokyo Tower: 1958

🇫🇷Eiffel Tower: 1889

🏗️Height

🇯🇵Tokyo Tower: 333m

🇫🇷Eiffel Tower: 330m

*Initially about 312m, then 321m in 1957 with the installation of antennas, 324m in 2000, and 330m in 2022.

✏Designer

Tokyo Tower is characterized by its orange and white exterior, designed after the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

When it was completed, it transmitted television and radio waves, but since the 634-meter Skytree was built in Sumida Ward, the television and other radio waves have been transferred, and it is now operated as an FM radio tower.

The height above ground is 333 meters, and there is a “Main Deck” at a height of 150 meters and a “Top Deck” at 250 meters, from which you can see the cityscape of Tokyo and, if the weather is good, even Mount Fuji.
