Japan
Diary – What’s missing in Tokyo Tower?
These views are completely from tourist point of
view and has no intention of devaluing Japanese technology or architecture.
During my Japan tour, my friend had organized
a quick visit to Tokyo Tower on one of the evening. I appreciate his efforts and time considering
he would have visited the place earlier.
I enjoyed the day roaming around
Eifel Tower at Paris the earlier spring. The whole day I strolled through the
surrounding area, ate some good food, sipped great coffee. For the same reason,
I was excited to see this replica or inspirational version of Eifel Tower.
The Tokyo Tower does resemble to Eifel
in some way. The beautiful structure is erected on probably 1/5th of
the place that of Eifel Tower. It’s definitely a great example of structural engineering.
From the top through ‘look down window’, Tokyo city surrounding looks amazingly
beautiful.
Tokyo tower is primarily built for observation and communication. One of the revenue sources for tower is tourist. What’s missing in Tokyo Tower is the grace and elegance, peaceful and loving natural beauty, the coffee shops and great restaurants, gardens where you can spend almost entire day and most important ‘love in the air’ which is very much prevalent in Paris.
