Kyoto, the cultural capital, has always resisted modern looking architecture, and the Kyoto Tower had its share of resistance, but was finally completed and opened to general public in 1964. Designed to look like a Japanese candle, Kyoto Tower is an observation tower which is just opposite of JR Kyoto Station.
Do not miss an aerial view of Kyoto, well equipped with binoculars which can give you a wonderful view of this city so rich in culture.
