 Over the Tokyo Moat, Tokyo
Tower can be seen. by kdoc13
The only good thing about the tower (Other than the fact that it is useful for broadcasting TV signals) is the view of the city from the top. On a good day, you can even see Mt. Fuji. It costs about 1500 Yen to get to the top, but you can be like Japanese Children and get a little stamp commemorating your visit to the tower. It is a free souvenier that you can't get anywhere else.

Tokyo Tower is also a 10 minute walk from Hamamatsucho Station on the JR Yamanote and JR Keihin-Tohoku Line.Website: http://www.tokyotower.co.jp/

 Tokyo Tower took from
expressway by dennisKL
You can ascend to the main observatory at 150 meters and the special observatory at 250 meters to get a bird's eye view of Tokyo. Under good weather conditions, Mount Fuji can be seen in the distance.
But nowaday, tourist is getting less since they are lots of new tourist spot located in Tokyo such as Roppongi Hill and Disneyland. Leave a Comment

There is a main observation deck and a higher observation deck just like Eiffel Tower.
You can have a panoromic view of Tokyo and even Mt. Fuji and the Central Japanese Alps on a clear day. But I enjoying seeing the shoe-box like buildings below with the tentacles of highways and blotches of green park from above.
At least you can say, "I went up Tokyo Tower".

The 333 metre (1,091 ft) Tokyo Tower opened in 1958 and it is the world’s tallest self supporting steel tower. Tokyo Tower is 13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower. The main observatory tower is 150 metre high, from there you can view large chunk of Tokyo at 360 degree rotation.
Like the Eiffel tower in Paris, Tokyo Tower is a popular tourist destination. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening.
There are restaurants and shops for you to buy goodies. The tower also features an aquarium, a wax museum, and several of showrooms. At night the tower looks impressive. We can see Tokyo Tower day and night from our hotel (Grand Prince New Tanakawa).
If you end up going to Tokyo Tower you might as well visit Zojoji Temple, there next to each other.
Open: 09.00 - 22.00
Cost: 1420 Yen (to top floor), 820 Yen (to intermediate floor only)

As we stayed at Tokyo Prince Hotel, we are just behind the famous TOKYO TOWER with a height of 333 metres. Our rooms had breathaking views day and night of the tower.
Of course it is still a must to go and see inside the humongous structure! We paid just 1400 yen for our family of four up to the special observatory section which is about 250 metres high. Visitors can go up to 150 metres which give 360 views around the city and on a clear day view Mt. Fuji from a distance as well!
It was still a bit foggy in some parts of the city but sunny in most so we were lucky in a way as we breezed our way to the top up to 250 metres.
Get a brochure which gives a guide on what attractions to look out for at the south, north, west or east of the tower!
Aide from the good souvenir shop where we got mementoes like magnets, key chains, shirts, etc. there is also an aquarium, wax museum, and an amusement center for the kids and kids at heart.
No worries, remember there are also a wide variety of eateries and fast food shops and restaurants to choose from! They cater to all sorts of budget too and there is even a family variety mini supermarket! Don't forget to pass by the little specialty shops manned by friendly old Japanese ladies who will meticulously wrap each item you buy in dainty shiny colourful wrapping papers! That is the bonus!
