Tokyo Tower at Midnight (Single)
DESCRIPTION
At night, Tokyo Tower stands as a beacon of glowing light amongst the crowded Tokyo cityscape. When the communications tower was built in 1958, it was the tallest building in Japan, standing at 332.9 meters (1,092 ft). This was only surpassed in 2012 by the Tokyo Skytree. Lit up in a radiating yellow glow in this photo, the tower has many different lighting designs for special occasions. Even with this wide panoramic view, the Tokyo Tower stands out amongst the rest of the buildings.
