This 131 meter-high observatory tower was constructed in 1964 on top of a building directly opposite JR Kyoto Sta. building. Its unique form is in the shape of a Japanese candle stick. Instead of a conventional steel frame it is made of a tower of steel rings. The observation deck is located 100 meters above from the ground and is a major sightseeing spot with a wonderful view of the whole city of Kyoto nearby temples and shrines and the 36 peaks of the Higashiyama range. A sauna is located in the 3rd underground level of the tower building (open 7:00 - 20:30).
Opened: December 28 1964
