Tokyo Tower–a nice Japanese copy but is 9 meters taller (333m/1098ft) than the Eiffel Tower—celebrated its 150 millionth visitor since the tourist trap opened to the public in December 1958. This is a PR photo from the official tower website shows the winning visitor, Junya Hosaka, his family, and the famous Pink Penis Mascot, “Noppon”.


these pink penis plushes are a huge seller in the tower’s stores. (Tokyo Tower is privately owned, not city owned.)

Have a look at Tokyo Tower on the NTT live webcam and the official photo gallery of the Tower.
Also note that the new Sumida Tower for digital HDTV is making the Tokyo Tower obsolete, and its days are numbered.
