Rising 333 meters in the heart of Tokyo, Tokyo Tower is the tallest self-supporting steel tower in the world, standing 3 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower. It represents Japan's resurgence as a major economic force after the war and held the title of the tallest building in the country from its completion in 1958 until 2012, when the Tokyo Skytree took over.
