"Tokyo Tower" is a thorough commentary on the highlights! How to enjoy the observation deck, the nearest station, the fee?

「東京タワー」のみどころを徹底解説! 展望台の楽しみ方や最寄り駅、料金は?

"Tokyo Tower" is one of the landmarks of Tokyo. It is a symbol of Tokyo and enjoys a persistent popularity as a tourist spot. Even if you can see such a 333m high tower from all places, it is not known how to enjoy the inside of the tower? So, we will introduce the highlights of Tokyo Tower, how to enjoy it, and the access that you care about.

Why did Tokyo Tower have this color...?

東京タワーはなぜこの色になったの…?

Tokyo Tower, located in Shiba Park, Minato-ku. It has been familiar to people as a landmark in Tokyo since its opening in 1958.

It is such a Tokyo tower, but the two colors that look out from between the buildings catch your eyes. In fact, it is easy to think of red x white, but it is a combination of international orange x white.

It is said that this color was used because the Civil Aeronautics Act stipulates that buildings above a certain height must be used.

There are two observation decks! Introduction from the entrance to the inside of the tower

入口からタワー内部までご紹介

Just below the Tokyo Tower is a shopping facility called "Foot Town", on the first floor of which is the Tokyo Tower ticket office.

To head to the observation deck, aim for the front entrance close to the ticket office.

"Koh-Yo-Kan ~ Maple Club ~" is a place where you can see the steel frame of Tokyo Tower and the cityscape of Tokyo at the same time. There is a feeling of openness with large windows, and the light of the building looks like a starry sky at night, so it seems that public relations are also a good place!

If you see the Tokyo Tower? Public relations recommended spot

大江戸線赤羽橋駅の赤羽橋口を出てすぐ

I came to shoot the Tokyo Tower, but I don't know where I can take the whole picture beautifully... some people say?

So, when I asked a public relations spokeswoman about the recommended location, she said, "I recommend a place just off Akabanebashiguchi at Akabanebashi Station on the Oedo Line!"

It's the nearest station to Tokyo Tower, so it might be a good idea to take a picture when you go or return.

If you want to enjoy the collaboration with nature, the Tokyo Tower, which you can see from Toei Mita Line Shiba Park, which is just a short distance from Akabanebashi Station on the Oedo Line, is also beautiful in the spring.

This time, we introduced how to enjoy and highlight of Tokyo Tower, as well as interesting access methods. For many years, it's a spot that shines as a symbol of Tokyo, but it's packed with charms you want to visit as many times as you want.
