High-quality experiences inside and outside Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower, located in Shiba Park, Minato City, Tokyo, was built in 1958 and stands at 333 meters tall, making it the second tallest structure in Japan (after the 634-meter Tokyo Skytree). Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, its red and white exterior and nostalgic charm of the Showa era have made it a classic Tokyo landmark, attracting visitors seeking romantic views and historical culture.

The tower features two observation decks (Main Deck at 150 meters and Top Deck at 250 meters). Surrounding attractions include Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple, blending modern and traditional elements, contrasting with the anime-commercial vibe of Tokyo Skytree, the serene Shinto atmosphere of Meiji Shrine, and the ancient city charm of Kyoto's Higashiyama district.

The Main Deck offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Tokyo, including Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Skytree, and Mount Fuji on clear days. It also features the "Lookdown Window," a glass floor for a thrilling high-altitude experience.

The Top Deck requires participation in the "Top Deck Tour" (approximately 45 minutes, available in English or Japanese), providing an elevated perspective and exclusive experience. Tickets cost around 3,000 yen (including access to the Main Deck). The tour includes a historical introduction to the tower and AR photo opportunities, ideal for visitors seeking a deeper experience.

Tokyo Tower is illuminated nightly (until 11:00 PM) with orange lights, and special occasions like Christmas and Valentine's Day feature colorful light shows, creating a romantic nighttime ambiance.

For a premium dining experience, Tower Restaurant (located on the Main Deck) offers a fusion of Western and Japanese cuisine, allowing guests to enjoy Tokyo's views while dining. Reservations are required.

Cafe La Tour, also on the Main Deck, serves matcha lattes and exclusive desserts (such as Tokyo Tower-shaped cakes, priced around 800-1,500 yen) in a relaxed atmosphere.

Visitors can save time by purchasing a "Tokyo Metro Pass" or walking from Hamamatsucho Station (JR Yamanote Line, approximately 10 minutes).
