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

Setsubun Tsuina Ceremony & Bean Throwing at Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower has been celebrating the coming of spring with a special Setsubun ceremony every year since the tower's opening in 1958. This year’s edition, the 66th, will be held on the second floor of the Main Deck from 10.45am to 11am, when monks from nearby Zojoji Temple will perform their rites. After that, you can watch as the tower's official mascot, Noppon and Tokyo Tower staff who were born in the year of the horse, perform the ritual of throwing beans and candies. The event is free, but you’ll need to purchase a ticket to enter Tokyo Tower.
