One Way Japan has a page of factoids on Kyoto Tower which includes:
Kyoto Tower ( 京都タワー Kyōto-tawā ) is an observation tower located in Kyoto, Japan. The steel tower is the tallest structure in Kyoto with its observation deck at 100 metres ( 328 ft ) and its spire at 131 metres ( 430 ft ).
The 800-ton tower stands atop a 9-story building, which houses a 3-star hotel and several stores. The entire complex stands opposite Kyoto Station.

Of course, Kyoto Station is best known to kaiju fans as the final battleground between Gamera and Irys in Gamera 3.
