Tower with a pillar called a shinbashira (6)

I believe the answer is:

pagoda

(Other definitions for pagoda that I've seen before include "Eastern building" , "Eastern tiered tower" , "Buddhist memorial building" , "Pyramidal Asian temple" , "Many-tiered building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
