Tokyo Tower turns green for St Patrick's Day -

Sunday, March 18, 2007
Tokyo Tower was lit up in green on Saturday night to celebrate St Patrick's Day. The green illumination of the 333-meter-tall television tower was also to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bilateral ties between Japan and Ireland. Irish Network Japan, a non-governmental organization aimed at promoting cultural exchange between Ireland and Japan, organized a photography contest of the green-lit Tokyo Tower for amateur photographers, it said on its website. Eight parades will be held in Tokyo and other cities across Japan this weekend. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.-- Albert Camus

333 meters tall?
 That is one tall tower.  Wonder what the historical background of this Japanese-Irish celebration is? ~annelie

I know you can barely see it, but I don't use photo hosting sites and have not uploaded it to my public MySpace page. So, squint as hard as you can.
It wasn't all lit up, just the areas that already have lights on them were in green. Interesting fact, Tokyo Tower is 333 meters compared with the Eiffel's 330 m.
