Time Out says

Tickets are now available via out affiliate partner Klook.

The resemblance to the Eiffel Tower is deliberate, as is the superior height – it is 13m taller than the Parisian structure. Back in 1958, when it was built, it must have been impressive.

Nowadays, though, constructions such as the Mori Tower, Shinjuku’s Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building or Tokyo Sky Tree offer impressive city views as well. But with the opening of Tokyo Tower's top deck in spring 2018, the capital's landmark is back in the race for the most stunning views.

The observatory is laid out in a futuristic design with mirror walls, providing excellent Instagram-worthy shots. As the city's most recognisable structure, it's also the most striking attraction when viewed at night from any of the other observation decks.

What’s on

Tokyo Tower Light Fantasia - Halloween Party

Enjoy a projection mapping show with a spectacular view of Tokyo's skyline as a backdrop this October from the main deck of Tokyo Tower. Made by the creators of A Summer Flow of Light, this Halloween-themed performance is projected on the 30-metre-wide glass windows with a scenic view of Tokyo in the background. It features a breezy autumn evening with leaves falling, insects chirping in pampas grass, and ending in a spooky scene of jack o' lanterns, bats, ghosts and witches that will synchronise with the music to scare guests. While you're there, don't miss the special Halloween-themed Tokyo Tower light-up on October 31. Titled 'Infinity Diamond Veil Halloween,' it's a rare chance to see the tower in pumpkin orange and magenta.
