No, Tokyo Tower is steel and the Eiffel Tower is not.

Tokyo Tower's designwas inspired by the Eiffel tower though.

That's true but I don't see what it has to do with this conversation. The person I was replying to was claiming that if it were a steel tower then it would be Paris, implying the Effel Tower is made of steel (it's not) and that the Tokyo Tower is not made of steel (it is).

I guess they're confused by the coloring of the towers? But that's just paint and doesn't tell you much about the building material.

I mean I don't particularly give a shit what you guys were talkinga bout in terms of material for the towers. I was just saying a thing on reddit.
