Kyoto Tower

Symbol of modernity, Kyoto Tower proudly stands in front of the city’s main station. Built in 1964 and designed by Mamoru Yamada and Ryo Tanahashi, its height reaches 131 meters from the ground – a rather modest height but enough to admire the whole city over 360° from its observatory and even spot Osaka.
