Due to advances in iron-steel technology, the Tokyo Tower is 333 meters tall; thirteen meters higher than the Eiffel Tower. Though 13m difference does not seem much to brag about, the Tokyo Tower weighs roughly 4,000 tons. This, in comparison to the Eiffel Tower's 7,000 tons, is the real feat in the Japanese structure. As of this date, 5/5/10, the Tokyo Tower is the world's tallest self-supporting steel structure.
The tower was not built just to break a record, but as a housing for many essential elements to the city. A large number of TV stations broadcast their stations from the tower. The Tower also contains weather analysis instruments. Its height makes it very useful for these, and many other uses.
