When the 90-metre antenna was bolted into place on 14 October 1958, Tokyo Tower was the tallest freestanding tower in the world, taking the title from the Eiffel Tower by 13 metres.
Keď bola 90-metrová anténa vyvŕšená 14. októbra 1958, Tokijská veža sa stala najvyššou samostatne stojacou vežou na svete, pričom zobrala tento titul Eiffelovej veži.
