Tokyo Tower
This tower is modelled in the vein of the Eiffel Tower in
France, only in true Japanese style, it is more colourful and
serves a technological purpose. Tokyo Tower functions chiefly as a
television and radio antenna. At 1,091 feet (332m), it is the
tallest structure in Tokyo, in Japan in fact, and a great vantage
point from which to take in the city. At the base of the tower,
tucked snugly under its 'legs', is the four-storey Foot Town.
Inside Foot Town visitors will find shops, restaurants, a wax
museum, the Guinness Book of World Record Museum, an aquarium and
the Mysterious Walking Zone, which is not as spooky as it sounds.
It's a display of holographic technology and imagery. The top floor
of Foot Town is an interactive art gallery, featuring optical
illusions which can be manipulated by visitors.

Japanese is the official language. Most Japanese people

understand what is said to them.
Money
The currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY), which is equal to 100
sen. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and
stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. Cash and travellers
cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency
exchange bureaux. Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to
3pm. Travellers cheques offer the best exchange rate and are best
taken in US dollars. ATMs do not accept all credit and debit cards;
only the international ATMs in post offices, airports and some
major stores.
