Tokyo Tower Tickets

Tokyo Tower is the sentimental favourite: the 333-metre orange-and-white icon that has stood over the city since 1958. The Main Deck at 150 metres covers the classic views, and the Top Deck Tour at 250 metres adds a guided ride to the smaller upper gallery with its geometric mirror ceiling.

Main Deck or Top Deck?

The Main Deck alone is a satisfying visit, with two levels, a glass floor panel and a straight sightline to Roppongi and the bay. The Top Deck Tour is timed, smaller and calmer, and comes with the best odds of a Fuji silhouette on winter mornings. Booking the Top Deck ahead is close to essential in busy seasons.

When to go

Night is when the tower itself glows, but you cannot see the tower from inside it, so many do the deck at dusk then walk to Shiba Park or Azabudai Hills for the classic lit-tower photo afterwards. Weekday mornings are the quiet window.

Getting there

Akabanebashi on the Oedo line is the closest station, five minutes on foot, with Kamiyacho and Onarimon similar. From Tokyo Station allow 20 minutes by metro or taxi.

Frequently asked questions
