In the center of the three radio towers is a sturdy reinforced concrete transmission room.
When completed, it was a two-story building, but the first floor was buried underground in preparation for air raids during the Pacific War.
The three radio towers are arranged in an equilateral triangle, each side measuring 300 meters.
Although it was built a century ago, it was constructed with great precision and is believed to be strong enough to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 6.
