The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Odaiba / Shiodome / Shinbashi
Odaiba is an entertainment hotspot with a giant ferris wheel, concert halls, amusement arcades and lots of shopping. It also boasts Oedo-onsen-monogatari, a hotspring that recreates old Edo-era ambiance and is very popular with foreign visitors. Shiodome has ultra-modern office buildings where you can often find restaurants with a great high-rise view of Tokyo. The neighboring area of Shinbashi is a district of much older commercial buildings and it's a great place to join 'salary men' enjoying a drink and snacks at street stalls under the railway bridges after work.

- camo72Sydney, Australia97 contributionsBird's Eye View Of TokyoTokyo Tower is a good way to spend an hour with the family, when in Tokyo. The views are great and glass deck sections are hair-raising. It is quite a lengthy walk from the nearest train station, so be prepared for that if with kids. There's also not much else in the area to see... but it's still worth the effort, for the views alone.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 18 March 2024
- Hương NHo Chi Minh City, Vietnam3 contributionsThe view was amazingThe view from the vantage point was truly breathtaking, offering a mesmerizing panorama of the illuminated Tokyo cityscape against the night sky. I found myself captivated by the beauty of the scene and couldn't resist capturing numerous photographs to cherish the moment. Without a doubt, I highly recommend experiencing this unforgettable sight firsthand.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 2 April 2024
- ShannonMelbourne, Australia1,154 contributionsBetter Than SkytreeAbsolute top attraction value. The attraction is well planned out with experience intervals at each area. I would recommend taking the Top deck ticket as the space is less crowded compared to the main deck and the view from inside the elevator going up and down is outstanding. Compared to the Skytree this attraction was less crowded and had more interactive areas. Recommend reserving tickets a day in advance as time slots are limited, no need to print out paper tickets.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 April 2024

I happen to be at TUJ and when I go to campus I go on a subway and get off right next to a place called the carrot tower and there is an observation deck which I call carrot top!! I posted it on is Instagram and said it was the view from carrot top!! I decided to come here and see the views because the observation decks in NYC are big ripoffs!! I went to an udon place and then got a 1100 yen ticket to the main deck!! I was enjoying the views and looking I felt like a pigeon who didn’t have wings!! It was all very good!!Visited April 2024Travelled soloWritten 19 April 2024

- Abel RMiami, Florida845 contributionsIf you're claustrophobic this is not for you.We arrived at the appointed time and had to wait in a long line. We were moved from area to area, standing about with no place to sit. The higher view was fabulous but my feet were very sore by the end. The observation deck itself is divided into the main deck (150m) and top deck (250m). The staff were nice enough and gave a decent monologue on the way up. You will be crammed up with people in the elevators.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 24 April 2024
- Shalli AngSingapore, Singapore757 contributionsSimple Observation and Viewing TowerIt was a rainy AM in Tokyo and we decided to head out to the tower in the AM. The weather was wet and rainy in the AM and we were soaking wet after arriving at the tower. There are hardly any visitors and the admission w Klook ticket were quick and fast.

- Franziska KMulhouse, France141 contributionsNice for pictures (especially at night), but not worth going upTokyo Tower looks very small, but is taller than the Eiffel Tower. Very pretty in the evening/night. I don't advise you to go up, the view is good, but everything is done to take advantage of you and extend your stay (3 elevators that you have to wait for, obligatory photo session, etc.).Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 26 May 2024

Wandering around the city we decided to stop at the Tokyo Tower.
Located in Tokyo, in the district of Minato (Shibakoen district), easily identifiable and accessible on foot and by public transport (the nearest subway station is Kamiyachō).
The Tokyo Tower is an orange and white truss steel tower over 330 meters high (a similar fax machine of the French Eiffell Tower), used for telecommunications and as a viewing point for tourists.
There are two panoramic terraces, at different heights, accessible by internal lifts.
The view is spectacular, you have a 360-degree view of the city of Tokyo, being able to admire large areas of the metropolis.
To access both terraces (first and second level) we paid the equivalent of 6000 yen total for two adults paying by credit card.
At the exit there is a shop where you can buy souvenirs of all kinds and photos taken by photographers of the Tokyo Tower placed on the panoramic terraces.
We chose to buy a photograph made on the second level at a cost of 1500 yen.
Suitable for families and couples.
Everything clean, tidy and well signposted.
Very kind and professional staff who worked in the tower.
I recommend it.

Tokyo Tower was the last point of interest I went to on my last day in Japan, capping off a visit that came after the pandemic restrictions were lifted. It held up just as well as it did when I last went.
There's not much to say aside from it remained a classic. It was not exactly close to any metro stations but the walk was manageable, the tickets were cheap and unlike Skytree, the queue didn't snake around the entire lobby. If you're looking to do something at sunset, head up the Tower, plug in your curated City Pop playlist and soak it in. Even as new observation decks are opened each year, Tokyo Tower is still one of the prettiest places to view the city from.
Also, for goshuin collectors, there is a small shrine that you can get to with the regular ticket and the gift shop at the observation deck sells pre-made goshuin that rotate seasonally. I happily bought both the regular and paper-cut variants that were available.

We arrived here just after 1:00 pm and took some good photos of ourselves with the tower but we felt it was too busy when we went to go up to the main deck. The cost to go up is reasonable at 1200 yen per adult but we had just done the nearby Azabudai Hills Mori JPTower Sky Lobby which was free to enter and offers similar views of the city including an excellent view of the Tokyo Tower itself. The Azabudai Hills Mori JPTower is a 12 minute walk away and their Sky Lobby is on the 33 floor.
The Tokyo Tower is iconic of Tokyo and we would be more keen to go up to one of the viewing decks if it wasn't too busy. We did get a stamp near the ticket counter which was a nice memento for our visit here. There are a few metro stations nearby the tower and it is relatively easy to get to.

Opened at the end of 1958 and inspired by the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower is recognizable among many others with its red and white painting.
Two observatories are accessible, one at 145 m and the other at 250 m, reached after using a glass elevator.
Access to the main floor is via elevators located in the corner of the base where you can also find several shops. Once there it is a 360° view that awaits you with especially the buildings and adjacent neighborhoods. On a clear day it is possible to see Mount Fuji.
Admission is not expensive and we advise you to book your tickets in advance, in order to avoid the queue. The staff is friendly and welcoming, smiling. The windows are cleaned regularly in order to optimize the view and especially remove the fingerprints of delicate visitors.
Plan 1 hour visit.

We planned to visit both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree, so we specifically chose evening time for Tokyo Tower. Be prepared to be very crowded, but it's worth it. There is also an interactive inside where they will tell you about the structure itself, you can take free photos, and, of course, just slow down a little and enjoy the lights of the huge city.
Despite the fact that many people write that it is not worth it, I am of the opposite opinion :)

The Top Deck Tour is a farce: instead of information, the audio guide gives you Disney-like chatter with no information or background on the city's history. The tour means constant queuing in stuffy air: in front of the lift to the first station on the top deck, in front of the lift to the top deck itself, and twice when going down. A complete waste of time! A visit to the middle deck (half the price!) is completely sufficient!

It is certainly much lower (or rather, less high...) than the Skytree (333 meters against 634 meters), but we definitely prefer it: we absolutely recommend the option of climbing not only to 150 meters (it costs very little, but among other things you stay lower than various nearby skyscrapers) but to 250 meters, because the view is far better and a "show" is offered (with a program/explanation also in Italian to download with a QR Code) that simulates, in a "secret library", a dialogue between the two "creators" of the tower; the public is also asked to interact - with a little naivety, moreover quite frequent in certain aspects in Japan - with the staff; there is the opportunity to be photographed and a drink is offered. Beautiful elevators, not fast compared to others, with views outside (appreciated by those who do not suffer from dizziness). We really liked the structure, even if it resembles (too much?) the Eiffel Tower. Not cheap tickets for the highest climb (about 19 euros per person).

The tower is worth visiting, but it’s not cheap. We paid 7400 Yen for a top deck tour for two adults and one high school-aged child. We rode up to the top deck from the main viewing deck, in a fancy elevator. In an ante-room, we learned about the two founders of the tower, media mogul, Hisakichi Maeda and architect, Tachū Naitō. It’s a semi-fictionalised story of them getting together to build the tower in the 1950s. Obviously, it’s based on the Eiffel Tower, which was built about 70 years before. And, yes it is fractionally taller, although the Special Observation Desk we went to is around 250m off the ground, and the Eiffel Tower’s highest deck is much higher. Anyway, this is about Tokyo Tower, not the Eiffel Tower! If you can get in at sunset, the views are stunning. You can see all of Tokyo laid out beneath you – including a view of Tokyo Skytree which is nearly twice as high and much more modern. You can even see Mount Fuji on a good day, although we didn’t. There is an audio tour telling you what you are looking at, at each compass point, but it was a bit hard to follow and you couldn’t pause it easily to get your bearings, so we gave up. It was still very enjoyable, though and we could recommend visiting.

In conclusion, it is not very good as a night view spot.
The surrounding buildings are too tall on the main deck, so you cannot see a glittering night view of the city.
The top deck is higher than the surrounding buildings, so you can see the city from above.
However, the observation deck on the top deck is very narrow, so you cannot relax and enjoy the view. Because it is narrow, you have to wait for your turn for a long time.
In the first place, this top deck tour is not about enjoying the view, but about enjoying the experience with elaborate production like a Disney attraction.
If you are thinking "I just want to go for the view from the observation deck," I strongly recommend you reconsider. The main deck is 1200 yen. Including the top deck, it is 3000 yen. It is not worth the price. I strongly recommend you to visit other places such as Mori Tower in Roppongi or Tokyo Skytree.

Very good place to have a 360° view of the city of Tokyo. We bought the tickets online, but I didn't see any big advantages since the queue to buy at the venue wasn't that big. The Top Deck tour takes you up to 250m high, which is amazing. I recommend coming before sunset to see the day, the sunset and the lights of the buildings lit, giving a different Impression. I recommend.

The top deck is currently surrounded by scaffolding and constructions so the views are very obstructed. Check before you go up to see if they’re still working and if they are don’t bother going all the way up.
