Tokyo Tower

東京タワー

👀 SEE

333m, built 1958, Eiffel-inspired, painted International Orange for aircraft visibility. Two observation decks (150m Main, 250m Top). Less overwhelming than Skytree — gentler heights, shorter queues, and the night illumination against the city is genuinely photogenic. Zojo-ji temple next door frames the best traditional-meets-modern Tokyo photo. A VR gaming center at the base fills rainy-day time.

💡 Local tips
  • Upper deck is less vertigo-inducing than Skytree's 450m top floor.
  • Best photo of the tower itself: from Zojo-ji Temple grounds.
  • Wet day fallback: the base-level VR gaming center.
