14 Tokyo Tower Tickets for a First Trip

1.Tokyo Tower: Admission Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,661 reviews · 1 hour - 3 days · from $9Our pick

Visit Tokyo Tower for broad views from its 150m Main Deck, or choose the Top Deck Tour for a higher 250m outlook and a look at the tower’s history. Shops, cafes, and interactive attractions are inside. Go near sunset for a chance to see Mount Fuji before the city lights come on, but check the weather and your ticket option before booking.

“This tea ceremony went beyond anything we expected. From the start, the staff made us feel welcome and guided us through each step with warmth and cultural insight. We were dressed in beautiful kimonos (with help from the lovely staff), and the ceremony took place in a stunning 100-year-old Japanese house. Don’t be fooled by the simple exterior – what’s inside is truly special. We made our own matcha, rang the ceremonial bell, wrote our names in three Japanese styles, and received a personalized scroll. The photos we took in our kimonos were beautiful. This was one of the best and most meaningful experiences we’ve had in Japan. Highly recommend…”
