Towering

Always my old favourite: Tokyo Tower.

 

Built in 1958 and designed by Tachū Naitō (内藤 多仲), this 332.5 metres tall tower is heavily inspired the Eiffel Tower in Paris - you just have to ignore that it's painted in bright orange and white due to air safety regulations. But it is, of course, taller than the Eiffel Tower. If you are inspired by something you have to beat it too, by a whole 2.5 metres. It's main purpose is to house TV antennas and to be a tourist attraction offering a great view of the city.
