Animate Akihabara

Animate Akihabara is a branch of "Animate," one of Japan’s largest specialty stores for everything anime, comics, and games. It opened in 1997 and has since continued as a beloved mecca in Akihabara for anime fans. As part of a planned renovation, this particular location reopened its No. 2 Building in December 2022, and has now launched the grand reopening of the No. 1 building next door as of April 2023.

We took the high-speed elevator to the observation deck, and the view of central Tokyo from above was incredibly expansive! There are also shopping areas on the lower floors where you can browse and buy souvenirs.

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.

Tokyo Tower's red-and-white exterior is very distinctive, and it's even more romantic when illuminated at night.
Inside, there is a beautiful light projection in the shape of the tower. This is a must-visit when traveling to Tokyo!
