Standing 131 meters tall just across from Kyoto Station in Japan, Kyoto Tower is the city's tallest structure. The tower was completed in 1964, the same year as the opening of the shinkansen (bullet train) and the Tokyo Olympics. A viewing platform is located 100 meters above ground with a 360 degree view of Kyoto, and as far as Osaka on clear days. Kyoto Tower stands on top of a typical commercial building with souvenir shops, restaurants, hotel and public bath in the basement.
