It's a copy of the Tour Eiffel and it gives the same chance to embrace the city from the top observatory. It is great to understand part of Tokyo urban design. More

Great views at the top but kinda boring at the same time too. You have to pay to go right to the top, and there's long waits, but the view in the middle is great. More

Don't get me wrong.. The views up there are amazing. You have to pay more to go to the very top.. Is kinda worth it, but still it only took us about an hour in total to go to both levels of the tower and have lunch in the cafe at the bottom. I do think it's something you should... More

Recommend you to visit the tower at night when it glitters. Few minutes from Shiba koen station on Mita-line. Take a walk to Zojoji Temple & Shiba Park located near by. More

The Tokyo Tower is higher than the Eiffel Tower. It is the best way to view the landmarks of Tokyo. Just make sure that the sky is clear and the weather is fine or else, the scene will be covered with fog or clouds. There are two levels of the tower that you can choose from: either you'd be on...

We visited the tower as part of a full day tour with Tokyo Tours. The views were pretty spectacular and had good english descriptions of the buildings around the tower. There was a glass window on the floor which my wife and daughter enjoyed standing on. There was the usual gift shop, but you never felt pressured into buying anything.... More

Not just a tower but a collection of attractions too. Was raining when we went (Aug 2008) so couldn't see very far but was a good trip none the less. More

The new Tokyo Tower wasn't open yet when I was there, so I settled for the original tower. I don't think it looks anything like the Eiffel Tower, nor is it as tall. But you still get very good views of Tokyo and its skyline. If you like taking good pictures, you can get some great ones at dusk. But... More

A short walk away from Hamamatsucho JR station. In fact it is the closest station for the Tokyo Tower. If you enjoy a long walk, it can be done brom Roppongi. I visited the Tower both during the Day and the Night. Great views during both times although I prefered the night. The entry ticket wasnt that expensive, cannot remember... More

It's well worth the trip to the tower. I went on a clear day and the 360 views were amazing. It was $8 US to get to the 150 meter platform and from there another $6 US to get to the 250 meter observation deck. The views from 250 meter are much better. More
