Tokyo Tower is one of my favorite landmarks in the city, and I always recommend visiting it at night when it’s fully lit up. The illumination makes the tower look stunning, and there’s something magical about seeing it glow against the night sky. When I used to live nearby, I would often jog around the tower, enjoying the calmness of the evening while being surrounded by its grandeur.

One of the more unique experiences you can have at Tokyo Tower is climbing the stairs to the 150-meter observation deck. Yes, you can actually walk up the stairs! It’s not just a workout, but a rewarding one, especially when you reach the observation point and see the breathtaking views of Tokyo.

Tokyo Tower also regularly hosts different promotional events, so there’s always something happening. You can also find upscale restaurants in the area with impressive views of the tower—perfect for a special occasion or even just a relaxing dinner.

At 332.9 meters tall, Tokyo Tower has been a symbol of Tokyo since its completion in 1958. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower, it’s painted in vibrant white and orange for air safety. The tower doesn’t just offer amazing views; it also serves as a hub for TV and radio broadcasting and features plenty of attractions in the FootTown shopping complex below, including museums and stores.
