Amazing Tokyo Tower Photo Spots

👉🏻A trip to Tokyo isn't complete without a visit to Tokyo Tower, but if you want to save time and take great photos, you need to plan ahead! Today, I'll share my Tokyo Tower photography guide, where you can visit 5 photo spots in an hour and wow your friends with amazing pictures! Remember to save this post!
First, here's the route to these photo spots. Screenshot and save it!
1️⃣Spot 1: Exit Akabanebashi Subway Station, turn right and cross the street to find this popular spot. You can take a photo with the street sign and Tokyo Tower in the same frame. After that, cross the street twice. The unobstructed spots on the roadside are great for taking photos. Feel free to get creative here. I took a lot of photos.
2️⃣Spot 2: Navigate to Shiba Park, about a 2-minute walk. Find a bench, sit down, and have your companion take a low-angle shot. You'll get a relaxed Tokyo Tower photo.
3️⃣Spot 3: Navigate to ukai Tofuya. Walk up the slope, and you can take a photo leaning against the railing. The popular spot next to the tofu shop is in the underpass. There's usually a 1-hour wait, so I skipped it. You can choose to wait if you want. I heard there's no queue if you go at 8am!
4️⃣Spot 4: Locate Kaledo Tower. From this spot, you can see Tokyo Tower through the alley. It's not crowded and easy to take photos! There are many alleys along the main road where you can see Tokyo Tower. Choose a nice, uncrowded alley to take your photos!
5️⃣Spot 5: Navigate to Azabudai Hills, a new commercial center that opened at the end of 2023. When I visited early last year, it was free to take photos. This time, I found out you need to buy a coffee to visit and take photos. The entrance is on the first floor. Take the elevator directly to the 34th floor Sky Lobby. The view of Tokyo Tower through the large windows is stunning. If you have time, you can enjoy a coffee here, wait for the sunset, and watch Tokyo Tower light up.
👉🏻After visiting these spots, you'll have more than enough photos for your social media! If you're traveling to Tokyo, save this post and check them out!
