东京塔高耸入云的东京塔是东京的名胜之一。这座被东京人引为骄傲的铁塔,座落在东京都港区芝公园内。塔高三百三十三米,比著名的巴黎埃费尔塔还高三十三米。这个高度是日本的建筑家为超过埃费尔塔而苦心设计的,一九五八年十二月二十三日落成时,为世界最高的铁塔。东京塔由于使用优质钢材,采用世界先进的建筑工艺和现代化的技术进行施工,所以,用的钢材只有四千吨,相当于埃费尔铁塔的二分之一,施工的时间为一年半,约为埃费尔塔施工期的一半。对于日本在如此短的时间里,用如此少的材料建成这座可抗台风和强烈地震的高塔,全世界都曾为之一惊。建筑这座铁塔的主要目的是用来发射广播和电视的无线电波。东京各广播电台和电视台均在铁塔顶端架设了发射天线。在铁塔的中段,设有两个了望台,一个是设在铁塔一百五十米高处的大了望台,一个是设在二百五十米高处的特别了望台。每个了 Tokyo Tower Towering Tokyo Tower is one of Tokyo’s top attractions. This tower, prized by the Tokyo people, is located in Shiba Park, Minato Ward, Tokyo. The tower is 333 meters high, 33 meters above the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. This height was built by Japanese architects over Evenett and was the tallest tower in the world when it was completed on December 23, 1958. Tokyo Tower due to the use of high-quality steel, using the world’s most advanced construction technology and modern technology for construction, so the steel is only four thousand tons, equivalent to one-half of the Eiffel Tower, the construction time of a year and a half, About half of Eferta’s construction period. It has been astonishing for Japan in such a short period of time to build this tower that can withstand typhoons and strong earthquakes with so little material. The main purpose of building this tower is to broadcast radio and television radio waves. All radio and television stations in Tokyo have erected a transmitting antenna at the top of the tower. In the middle of the tower, there are two observation platforms, one is a large observation deck at 150 meters above the tower and the other is a special observation deck at a height of 250 meters.
