Tokyo Tower - What To Know BEFORE You Go

The Basics

Tokyo Tower’s two high-rise observatories are its most popular draws, with panoramic views that show off the city below. The lower main observatory sits on top of Foot Town, Tokyo Tower’s entertainment hub, while the more lofty special observatory is at 820 feet (250 meters) and offers views of Mt. Fuji on clear days.

Most city sightseeing tours include a visit to Tokyo Tower, whether you choose an option by bus, bike, or Go-Kart. Private and small-group tours are available, with some combo tours also including a Sumida River cruise. To see Tokyo Tower from above, opt for a private helicopter tour of the city.

How to Get There

Tokyo Tower is located in the Shiba-koen district of Minato. Public transportation is a good way to travel in the city, and the nearest subway stop is Akabanebashi Station on the Oedo subway line. Turn left out of the ticket gate and head to the Akabanebashi Crossing exit. From there, it’s a 5-minute walk to Tokyo Tower.

Amazing tour with friendly guide

Private tour - All "Must-Sees"! Enjoy your First-Time Visit Tokyo!

The private tour was amazing. The tour guide did his best to explain everything about the Japanese culture and also made sure to go to all the places I liked to visit. The tour guide had good English skill and a fun and friendly personality. I would definitely recommend this to people who visit Tokyo for the first time and want to make sure that they see all the nice places with a good explanation.

Best Day of My Trip!

Megan_P, Jan 2020

This tour was by far the best thing I did on Tokyo. My guide, Mr. Katsunori, was communicative, knowledgeable and just fun to spend a day with! We saw all the “must sees” and he provided me with background information for all the sites. Our hotel was right by the Tokyo Tower (a spot on the planned itinerary) but he changed course according to my preferences. I highly recommend!

Tour review

carabarker, Feb 2020

One on one tour of some of the main tourist districts in Tokyo - Shinjuku, Shibuya and harajuku. Rui my guide was very friendly and easy to talk to. She spoke great English. She was willing to stop at any shops I wanted to. She helped understand the train system better. I would definitely recommend for when you first arrive in Tokyo.

Chiaki was brilliant!

Chiaki was great friendly and really put in a lot of effort to show us the main sites we wanted around Tokyo . She’s brilliant!

Perfect Intro to Toyko

Marla K, Dec 2019

My guide was Jordyn and she was an excellent guide for introducing me to Tokyo - I learned how to navigate the subway - saw several unique neighborhoods and had an amazing lunch in a place that no tourist could ever find on their own! She was friendly and informative and I can't say enough good things about her! Highly recommend

Excellent

Robin_J, Nov 2019

It was a wonderful tour where we got to see everything we wanted to and at the pace we wanted. Our guide got us through Tokyo easily and we would’ve been lost without her and it would taken 3x as long. She was knowledgeable, sweet, helpful, and a joy to spend the day with. We are so happy to have taken this tour for our first time to Tokyo

Money well spent!

Lori V, Nov 2019

Kento was awesome! There were 6 of us and he helped us get our JR passes and Suica cards up and running and got us familiarized with the train system. We even had time to see a couple of sites and then had lunch at one of his favorite sushi restaurants. Money well spent and a great way to kick off our first day and get situated for the rest of our trip.

Once in a lifetime experience

Nereida_A, Mar 2020

While we were in Japan during an unprecedented time which meant major attractions were closed due the virus and we had rained upon our tour. Our tour guides Eric and Sakurai were very considerate in attempting to give us our full experience in Japan and had to make some changes to our itinerary due to the weather and the crisis. We still had a great time and got to experience some of the temples without major people traffic. We got to see Japan in a way it has never been seen before and I look forward to returning to see it busy and full of life again..

Great trip!

LorelieAnn_A, Mar 2020

Sonoko our tour guide is absolutely love. She is on time, gives clear directions and suggestions and very professional. She made sure our itinerary is met and always so helpful with our toddler she even has treats for her. She is knowledgeable and speaks English really well. I would highly recommend this private tour in Tokyo specially with Sonoko as your guide. Prepare to be exhausted though as it's very compact, a lot of walking and train ride but super worth it. Thanks again Sonoko and Viator for a fun day in Tokyo!
