Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower modeled after the Eiffel Tower, standing at 333 meters. It was the tallest structure in Japan from its completion in 1958 until Tokyo Skytree surpassed it in 2012. The tower features two observation decks: the Main Deck at 150 meters and the Top Deck at 250 meters, both offering panoramic views of Tokyo including Tokyo Bay, the Rainbow Bridge, and on clear days, Mount Fuji. The FootTown building at the base houses restaurants, shops, and a wax museum. The tower is beautifully illuminated at night with seasonal lighting designs. Located in the Shiba-koen area near Zojo-ji Temple, it is a short walk from several subway stations. The surrounding area offers great vantage points for photographing the tower, especially from Shiba Park.
