Today, I'm going to introduce you both domestic and foreign ones below.

*Domestic*

Sapporo clock tower (see the lower picture)

---When Japanese people heard a word "clock tower", most of them will think about this clock tower, I think. It's very famous here. This clock tower is one of the most oldest one in Japan.

Yasuda auditorium (see the lower picture)
---This is placed in the University of Tokyo, the most prestigious university in Japan. This clock tower is regarded as a symbol of this university, so, many cram schools use this picture with its students for advertisements.

NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building
---This is placed in Shibuya, Tokyo and is  the biggest Tower clock in the world! It's fifteen meters across...!


*Foreign*
Big Ben　(see the lower picture)
---This is placed in London. It's 96.3 meters high and the clock is placed at 55 meters high above the ground. The melody of its chime is very familiar to Japanese because the melody of most of Japanese schools' is similar to it.

The big three clock tower in the world is said to be Big Ben (London), Rajabai Tower (India), and Kremlin towers (Russia). Sad to say, I searched on the Internet but couldn't get much more information... I'm afraid but I will finish writing today's article.
