Some of the most beautiful sights that you\u2019ll ever set your eyes upon are the observation towers that light up the night sky. Probably the most famous of all the observation towers is the T\u014dky\u014d Tower (\u6771\u4eac<\/strong>\u30bf\u30ef\u30fc<\/strong>,). The T\u014dky\u014d Tower serves as a support structure for radio and television broadcasting stations. The Tower is also a major tourist site where tourists can go inside the tower and view museums and art galleries, eat at cafes and restaurants, and even go shopping for souvenirs at the various gift shops.<\/p>\n

The Ky\u014dto Tower (\u4eac\u90fd<\/strong>\u30bf\u30ef<\/strong>\u30fc<\/strong>) is a steel tower with nine elevators. Inside the elevator visitors can visit a spa, even get their teeth cleaned at a dentist office, play arcade games and even spend the night at a hotel. Ky\u014dto is known for being a place of tradition and old customs. The Ky\u014dto Tower is a bit of an anomoly because it is a modern tower with steel rings stacked one on top of the other and able to withstand an earthquake.<\/p>\n

The K\u014dbe Port Tower (\u795e\u6238<\/strong>\u30dd\u30fc\u30c8\u30bf\u30ef<\/strong>\u30fc<\/strong>) is located in K\u014dbe and is a beautiful tower that is one hundred and eight meters tall. The K\u014dbe Port Tower is famous for its hyperboloid structure, which refers to the intricate latticed steel beams that decorate the Tower. For a small fee visitors can go up to the highest part of the observation deck and get a view of the K\u014dbe bay area. The K\u014dbe Port Tower is open seven days a week so there\u2019s no excuse not to visit such a fabulous tower!<\/p>\n

The Yokohama Marine Tower (\u6a2a\u6d5c<\/strong>\u30de\u30ea\u30f3\u30bf\u30ef<\/strong>\u30fc<\/strong>) is one hundred and six meters high and serves both as an observation tower and lighthouse. It is located in the inner harbor of the Yokohama bay area. From the observation deck of this tower, visitors can see Mount Fuji. Also impressive is the lighting of the Yokohama Marine Tower. Against the night sky the Yokohama Marine Tower looks as if it is a huge diamond.<\/p>\n

The Sapporo Tv Tower (\u3055\u3063\u307d\u308d\u30c6\u30ec\u30d3<\/strong>\u5854<\/strong>,) is located in the middle of Odori Park (\u5927\u901a\u516c\u5712<\/strong>,). From the observation deck, tourists can see the entire park for a fee. The Tower is famous for its digital clocks, which line all four sides of the Tower. At any given time you can check the time by stretching your neck up towards the Tower. Inside the Tower is a shopping center, information desk, restaurants and a ticket booth to go up to the observation deck. It\u2019s pretty awesome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
