Tokyo Tower - The Iconic Observation Deck

Last year, I was fortunate to visit two of Japan’s most iconic landmarks - the Tokyo Tower and Mount Fuji.

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: with its distinctive emojis, is probably the country’s most recognized landmark.

Tokyo has four observation decks.

The other are:

  1. Shibuya Sky.
  2. Tokyo Sky Tree
  3. Tokyo Municipal building.

Of these, #4 is free.

I purchased the tickets in advance via Klook.
Entrance is only during the designated time slot
This is done to avoid a rush at the observation deck.

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: is remarkably similar to the Eiffel Tower, though not as tall.

The Tokyo SkyTree is both modern and taller.
But Tokyo Tower has a distinct charm and familiarity as an icon of Tokyo.

Enjoy the panoramic views from the top.
The observation deck offers a stunning perspective of the city skyline.
Go there late evening when the city lights up beautifully.

The experience was smooth with well-organized ticketing and helpful staff.
There are also souvenir shops and other facilities like a food truck at the base of the tower.
