Tokyo Tower, Beloved as a Symbol of Tokyo
Tokyo Tower was born in 1958.
When it was built, Tokyo Tower proudly stood out as the tallest steel tower in the world. At a height of 33 meters, it was taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
It is located in Minato Ward in the center of Tokyo. Take in sweeping views of the city from the observation deck.
Currently under renovation, it is always changing.
The interior of the tower is divided into 2 sections: the Top Deck with an observation floor at a height of 250 meters and the Main Deck with another one at 150 meters.
Its red and white hue is impressive.

Tokyo Tower is like an orange-red bookmark tucked between Tokyo’s high-rises. During the day, it looks classic and striking; when it lights up at night, it takes on a touch of romance. Only when you stand directly beneath it do you realize that Tokyo Tower is far more impressive in person than in photos. This visit felt like more than just checking off a photo spot—it was like meeting one of Tokyo’s classic landmarks.
When visiting Tokyo, you have to find a good angle to see Tokyo Tower. Its red-and-white structure rises above the bustling city. Even as Tokyo gains more and more landmarks, Tokyo Tower still has an irreplaceable presence. Up close, it is even more impressive than I imagined, and the surrounding streets add a touch of Tokyo's distinctive urban character. Whether during the day or at night, you can enjoy it from different angles and capture a different beautiful view each time.
How could you visit Tokyo and miss this classic red-and-white steel tower? Tokyo Tower remains one of the city's most iconic landmarks, with a distinctive charm that's instantly recognizable both day and night.
This time, I specifically went to Prince Shiba Park (Shiba Park) to photograph Tokyo Tower and unexpectedly discovered that it's also a great vantage point. Surrounded by greenery, the park and the towering Tokyo Tower make for a particularly pleasant scene. Compared with some popular photo spots, it's also relatively less crowded, so you can leisurely find good angles without constantly dodging passersby.
With sunlight filtering through the green trees and the red-and-white Tokyo Tower right in front of you, it's simple yet distinctly Tokyo.
Visiting Tokyo Tower at night has a charm all its own! Besides going up to the 150-meter-high observation deck to enjoy the dazzling night view and indoor light projection show, the biggest surprise was happening upon a limited-time collaboration between the anime Girls Band Cry and Tokyo Tower. Life-size character standees of Rupa and Nina Iseri were on display, attracting tons of fans to take photos.
Looking up from beneath the tower at its steel framework bathed in golden and warm orange lights was visually stunning. You could also get a commemorative Tokyo Tower badge and take souvenir photos. It's well worth visiting whether you're making an anime pilgrimage or simply enjoying the night view. I recommend coming at night—not only can you avoid the daytime crowds, but you can also experience romantic and varied nighttime-only activities!
Tokyo Tower has always been one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks to me! During the day, you can take the elevator up to the observation deck and look out over the city; at night, it turns into a romantic and charming date spot. Many people may not know that Tokyo Tower's decorative lighting actually changes with the seasons and special events. At Christmas, for example, it switches to red and green lights, giving the whole place an especially festive atmosphere.
On this trip to Tokyo, I chose a hotel room with a view of Tokyo Tower so I could enjoy it in a different way. When I woke up in the morning, Tokyo Tower was the first thing I saw; and when I returned to my room at night, I could say good night with the tower's lights beside me〜
