Tokyo's iconic 333-metre red-and-white lattice tower, inspired by the Eiffel Tower but taller, remains one of Japan's most recognisable landmarks and offers two observation decks at 150 metres (Main Deck, 1,200 JPY) and 250 metres (Top Deck, 3,000 JPY). A glass floor section on the Main Deck creates genuine vertigo for children, and the tower changes to a special orange glow illumination on special dates. The footof the tower is free to visit with small shops and the Foot Town entertainment complex. TripAdvisor community data shows Tokyo Tower consistently outscores Tokyo Skytree for atmosphere and nostalgia, and the surrounding Zojoji Temple (free) provides a beautiful garden backdrop. Best photographed from Shiba-koen park at twilight.
