Touto (Tokyo) Tower
A communications and observation tower located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan built in the 1950s. Inspired in design by the Eiffel Tower, this landmark has become a popular tourist and school field trip destination. In the manga and anime series the tower is referred to by the "Touto Tower" name instead of "Tokyo Tower": "Touto" is just another way of saying "Tokyo". The tower was featured recently in the 13th movie, The Raven Chaser during the climax of the film.[1]
Tsutenkaku Tower
A weather and observation tower located in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan built originally in 1912, dismantled, and then rebuilt in the 1950s. This tower, like Touto Tower, was inspired in design by the Eiffel Tower in addition to the Arc de Triomphe. The 1912 Tsutenkaku Tower was built next to an amusement park but later dismantled in the 1940s in an effort to thwart American bombing raids. The current tower was built on the same site in the 1950s thanks to the efforts of the citizens of Osaka.[2] Notable appearances of this landmark in Detective Conan include The Naniwa Serial Murder Case and The Last Wizard of the Century.
