The Nagoya TV Tower ( Japanese 名古屋 テ レ ビ 塔 , Nagoya Terebitō ) is a 180 meter high transmission tower with an observation platform in the center of Nagoya , Japan . It is the first television tower built in Japan and a major landmark of the city of Nagoya.
Construction
The television tower was built as a steel framework. The construction phase lasted 8½ months from September 29, 1953 to June 19, 1954. The design comes from Prof. Naitō Tachū from Waseda University , who later also designed the Sapporo television tower and the Tokyo Tower . The construction was carried out by a shipbuilding company from Kobe , which used around 1,000 tons of steel.
At the foot there is a restaurant, a souvenir shop and a gallery at a height of 25 or 30 meters. A closed viewing platform (sky deck) at a height of 90 meters enables a 360 ° panoramic view of the city. The sky deck is overlooked by an open-air balcony (sky balcony) at a height of 100 meters. Both platforms with a capacity of 200 people are open to the public and can be reached by elevators. A staircase with 310 steps can also be used. The ticket costs ¥ 600.
