Tokyo Tower - The Observation Deck with an Emoji đź—Ľ

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: is probably the most recognized landmark of Japan after Mt Fuji, both having prominent emojis :mount_fuji:

I was fortunate to visit both last year.

The Tokyo Tower is in the South-Central region of Tokyo city and is easily reachable by Tokyo Metro.

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: is one of the four observation decks in Tokyo.

The other are:

  1. Shibuya Sky.
  2. Tokyo Sky Tree
  3. Tokyo Municipal building.

Of these, the last one is free.

The tickets can be purchased in advance via Klook, and they strictly allow entrance during the designated time slot to avoid a rush at the observation deck at the top.

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: is not as tall as one might expect, especially when compared to the modern Tokyo SkyTree. But taller isn’t always better. I could still get some amazing views from its main deck.

The panoramic views from the top are breathtaking, offering a stunning perspective of the city skyline, especially at nighttime when the city lights up beautifully.

The atmosphere up there was both exciting and entertaining.

The experience was well-organized, with smooth ticketing and helpful staff. There are also great souvenir shops and a variety of attractions within the tower, making it more than just a viewpoint.

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: is beautifully illuminated at night, creating a romantic atmosphere. It’s easily accessible, with shops, restaurants, and attractions at the base.

The Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower: was built in 1960, four years before the Tokyo Olympics, and stands as a symbol of Japan’s post-war recovery. The design closely resembles the Eiffel Tower.

Souvenir Stamps

In Japan, we can collect a souvenir stamp at every major monument, including a unique stamp for every Metro Station. It is a fun way to keep a log of places you have visited.

Besides that, people also make their unique personal stamp. So always carry a notebook with blank white pages to collect memories.

Here’s my stamp collected from the Tokyo Tower :tokyo_tower:
Besides that is my personal stamp that reads “Local Guide - Tushar Suradkar” in Japanese.

I created it using the free site at https://www.stampjam.com/

Wow amazing pictures @TusharSuradkar the orange tower is wonderful. That reminds me my favorite tower is the Eiffel tower in Paris, France (one of the best view of the world for me).
