Tokyo Tower
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.
In June 2025, we took a local bus in Japan and got off at a stop near Tokyo Tower. We walked the rest of the way and enjoyed taking in Tokyo Tower along the route.
I especially loved the second photo. Even though Tokyo Skytree was partly blocked by lush green trees, it didn’t take away from Tokyo Tower’s vibe—it actually made it feel really unique.
