Save it now! Tokyo Tower 🗼 The most popular photo spot guide

Completed in 1958, the Tokyo Tower stands 333 meters tall, inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Summertime runs from July to September, and during the summer nights, it glows a cool silver (see the third photo). The rest of the year, it glows a warm orange. From sunset until midnight, the Tokyo Tower illuminates, making it one of Tokyo's most dazzling landmarks at night. The Tokyo Skytree, a historic landmark that was completed in 2012, is now primarily used for broadcasting and remains a popular tourist attraction. This attraction alone is worth a full day, with a recommended stay of 5-6 hours (including access to the observation deck, dining, and even catching the Tokyo Tower illuminated at dusk). There are also many vendors selling snacks at the base of the tower. We ordered colored ice cream and enjoyed ramen (Japanese ramen is quite affordable, cheaper than in Taiwan) and extra-long fries in the food court.

The direct 150m ticket is 1500 yen, while the top 250m for a panoramic city view is 3500 yen (approximately NT$726). Small drinks are available on the top floor, and the view is fantastic. The lighting changes during the elevator ride are fantastic, and even the restrooms are great for photos. 🤣

I bought a Tokyo Tower magnet, which was a good deal. After a 10% discount with a JCB credit card, it was 630 yen (not every store offers discounts, so it's recommended to ask the staff at checkout which credit card offers the discount). We also had a professional photographer take our commemorative photos before reaching the top floor. It cost 2000 yen to buy a commemorative and happy memory. 🥰🗼🥹💘

Shiba Park is a popular photo spot right now. It's located at the base of the Tokyo Tower, called the Tokyo Tower Underground Parking Lot. (Google search) Search the map for "Tokyo Tower Underground Parking Lot." This hidden gem has become a popular spot, attracting numerous tourists. Taking photos from the underground staircase makes Tokyo Tower even more impressive, making it a perfect photo spot. No wonder it's so popular! 📸

It's no exaggeration to say that my husband and I waited in line for a full 30 minutes just to get a photo from this angle! 🤣👍❗
As shown in the first picture.

I found at least five different spots to capture the Tokyo Tower! ☺️
I also took a photo of the Tokyo Tower illuminated at night as I reluctantly left.
