Tokyo Tower
Standing tall at 333 meters, Tokyo Tower is one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks, inspired by the Eiffel Tower but painted in white and international orange for air safety. Located in Minato, it offers panoramic views from its main deck (150m) and top deck (250m), showcasing the Tokyo skyline, Mount Fuji (on clear days), and even Tokyo Skytree. Besides its observation decks, the tower houses FootTown at the base, which includes souvenir shops, cafes, and the quirky Tokyo Tower Aquarium. The atmosphere in the evening is especially magical with the tower’s illumination adding to Tokyo’s skyline charm.
