Tokiotoren
De Tokiotoren, ook Tokyo Tower, (東京タワー Tōkyō tawā) is een stalen toren in het Minato district van Tokio in Japan.
Het ontwerp is gebaseerd op de Eiffeltoren in Parijs in Frankrijk. De toren is 333m hoog en dat is 9m hoger dan de Eiffeltoren, of 16m als je de televisieantenne van de Eiffeltoren niet meerekent. Daarmee is het de hoogste vrijstaande stalen toren in de wereld en het hoogste bouwwerk in Tokio.
De Tokiotoren staat in het midden van een stadswijk. De toren weegt 4000 ton en is wit en oranje geschilderd om te voldoen aan de eisen van de veligheid voor vliegverkeer. 's Avonds is de toren verlicht met oranje licht. Voor speciale gelegenheden worden soms andere kleuren gebruikt; zo werd voor de Japanse première van de film The Matrix de toren in neongroen verlicht. Hoewel de belangrijkste functie radio en televisie zendmast is, staat de toren ook bekend als een toeristische trekpleister.
Op de begane grond is een aquarium met 50 duizend vissen, op de tweede verdieping bevindt zich een wassenbeeldenmuseum en een attractie die "Mysterious Walking Zone" heet. Er zijn ook twee observatiedekken. Het belangrijkste uitzichtdek is op 150m, en er is een speciaal uitzichtdek op 250m. Beide bieden een spectaculair uitzicht van 360° over de stad, en bij helder weer op de vulkaan Fuji (Fuji-san).
