Higashiyama Water Tower

The Higashiyama Tower reaches into the sky, combining functionality as both a water reservoir and television signal transmitter for the Nagoya region.

The construction of this dual-purpose tower in 1930 marked a period of substantial infrastructure development during Japan's early modernization efforts.

The tower exemplifies Japanese engineering principles from the early Showa period through its efficient design that serves multiple utility purposes.

Located at coordinates 35.173425, 136.9547, the tower remains operational for water supply management and broadcasting services across the Nagoya area.

This structure performs two distinct functions simultaneously, storing water for public distribution while broadcasting television signals from its elevated position.
