TOKYO (Nexstar) — The Tokyo Tower has stood over Tokyo for more than 60 years as a symbol of hope and communication. After two weeks of quarantine, our Nexstar team in Tokyo finally got to visit it.

The Tokyo Tower also has its own cafe, where patrons can sip tea while admiring the views, as well as Club 333, a music venue that hosts performances daily.

Tokyo Tower was opened to the public on December 23, 1958. Standing 333 meters high, at the time of building it was the tallest freestanding tower in the world, ahead of the Eiffel Tower.
