After business meetings we stopped at the Tokyo Tower to view the city. The tower was opened in 1958 and is a steel tower that is taller and lighter than the Eiffel Tower. It is 333m tall and has a special observatory at 250m. When you look out over the city you see buildings as far as the eye can see in every direction. This city’s scale is mind boggling. Over 35 million people live in the greater Tokyo area. Amazing thing is that the sidewalks are never that crowded. People use trains and the subway so the traffic is not that bad with the only bottleneck being the Bay Bridge. This place is just huge.
