Tokyo Tower was born in 1958.
When it was built, Tokyo Tower proudly stood out as the tallest steel tower in the world. At a height of 33 meters, it was taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
It is located in Minato Ward in the center of Tokyo. Take in sweeping views of the city from the observation deck.
Currently under renovation, it is always changing.
The interior of the tower is divided into 2 sections: the Top Deck with an observation floor at a height of 250 meters and the Main Deck with another one at 150 meters.

  1. The Top Deck: At 250 meters above ground, get a bird’s-eye view of Tokyo from the Top Deck. It seems almost as if you could reach out and touch it!.
  2. The Main Deck: From a height of 150 meters, the streets of Tokyo below feel like a 3-D view.
  3. Foot Town: This is located at the base of Tokyo Tower. Buy souvenirs and enjoy food and drink here.

Highlights

    Compared to the modern vibe of Skytree, I actually prefer the nostalgic feel of Tokyo Tower.

    Tokyo Tower looks even more stunning at night with all the gorgeous lights.

    The lighting design of Tokyo Tower has both traditional meaning and festive colors. Different light displays can represent various holidays or special events. Its classic shape stands out even more at night, making it an unmissable landmark in the city.

    Even though Tokyo Skytree has become more popular since it opened, Tokyo Tower is still the true symbol of Tokyo.

    If you have some extra time, I recommend walking from Hamamatsucho or Daimon Station. The distance isn't bad at all, and walking lets you really appreciate how big Tokyo Tower is as you get closer.
