This is Kyoto Tower. It's located in front of Kyoto station. If you get off a train at Kyoto station, you'll see it at first. Kyoto Tower is designed to imitate a lighthouse. It's a image that a lighthouse throw light on Kyoto city without sea. The tower build on a building. The style is unique.
I saw it the first time when I went on a school excursion to Kyoto. I have been to there for sightseeing sometimes but I didn't specially like it. After that I got married and I often went to Kyoto because Kyoto is my husband's hometown. I came to like it and I felt a sense of closeness when I saw it.
Kyoto Tower is also said like a candle. I think this image fits it perfectly because there are many temples in Kyoto. Which do you think it, lighthouse or candle?

I think it looks like both a lighthouse and a candle - it could certainly represent light and welcome people to the city. There are towers like this in several cities, the Space Needle in Seattle and there is a very similar casino in Las Vegas :)
