Tokyo Tower 東京タワー

4-2-8 Shibakoen, Minato City, Tokyo

Your current location:

The original icon of Japan's capital

Tokyo Tower, rising to a height of 333 meters, was built in 1958. Its observation decks and illuminations are a popular draw.

Tips

  • Combining sightseeing and exercise by climbing up the outdoor staircase to the tower's main deck
  • Seeing the city far below your feet while standing on glass "Skywalk Windows" on the floor

You can choose to take the elevator or walk up 600 steps to the main deck, located 150 meters above the ground. If you are lucky, on sunny days you can even catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji rising in the distance. If you are not afraid of heights, try standing on the glass "Skywalk Windows" on the floor and looking directly down to the ground—almost 145 meters under your feet. The very top deck—250 meters off the ground—is decorated with geometric mirrors and LED lighting. Standing there feels like floating above the city in a spaceship.
The Tokyo Diamond Tour, a premium tour of the observation decks that began operation in 2024, is open to only 70 participants a day.

Tokyo Tower hosts illuminations and other events throughout the year, offering a chance to enjoy the view from the observation deck whatever the season, even on rainy days. At the bottom of the tower, there is a wide variety of shops, attractions, and restaurants in Foot Town.
