pilgrimage to the holy tower

if i had to nominate a "final boss" of japanese towers (if it is not yet clear, i am something of an authority on them), it would be the 大平和祈念塔 (lit. "Great Peace Prayer Tower"), or as i have sometimes seen it called for short, the "PL Tower". for one, it's obscure, it never shows up in sightseeing guides and the local tourism promotion office won't even mention it...
