Tokyo Tower
Peek Below from the 145-Meter High "Look-Down Window"
On the first floor of the Tokyo Tower Main Observatory, there is an extra-strength glass window called "Look-Down Window," where you can peek down to the ground below. You are looking down from the height of 145 meters, so beware if you have a fear of heights!
360° Panorama View
From the 250-meter Special Observatory, you can view all of Tokyo's 23 wards. This 360° panoramic view is truly spectacular! On a clear day, you can not only see all of Tokyo's wards but also Mt. Fuji, the Miura Peninsula and Boso Peninsula.
Night View from Tokyo Tower
From the 250-meter Special Observatory, you can see the complete night view of the city. The observatory is decked up in keeping with the theme of science-fiction. You get a feeling of floating in space, through lights projected on the windows as well as sounds. It is also a popular date spot.
Climb up 600 Steps
The staircase is open to public exclusively on weekends and holidays and with the regular entrance price, you can take up the challenge to climb to the top. You can climb the approximately 600-step staircase from the Foot Town till the Main Observatory (150 m) while taking in the view and enjoying the breeze. If you make it to the top, you will receive a "Noppon Certificate."
Spend a Whole Day at Foot Town, a Large Commercial Complex
At Tokyo Tower, other than the observatories, there is a large commercial complex called "Foot Town." It has plenty of amusement options such as an aquarium, cafés, restaurants and shops, and can be enjoyed all day long.
Changing Appearances through varied Lighting
Tokyo Tower decorates the Tokyo night sky using different variations of lighting: a warm orange during winter, cool white based colors during summer. It also changes colors and color patterns according to different occasions such as holidays, seasons and events.
