The Tokyo Tower is an impressive red and white tower that offers a stunning view of Tokyo's cityscape. It is considered a landmark of Tokyo and is still undergoing renovation and evolution.

The tower was built in 1958, and at that time, it was the tallest self-supporting tower in the world at 333m, surpassing the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The tower is located in the central part of Tokyo, in the Minato district, which makes it easily accessible to visitors who wish to enjoy the breathtaking views of the city from the observation deck.

The tower's unique color scheme of bright orange and white was established by law in order to ensure that it is clearly visible to aircraft pilots during the day. This feature has made it an influential presence and a popular landmark in Tokyo.

In 2012, the tower transferred several radio tower functions to the TOKYO SKYTREE, which is still transmitting radio waves.

One of the most notable design features of the Tokyo Tower is its striking color. Every five years, the tower is repainted with a project that takes a full year to complete. Compliance with aviation safety laws requires that the tower remains painted in the attractive and eye-catching bright orange, officially known as "International Orange."

At night, the Tokyo Tower is illuminated by a series of spotlights designed to celebrate its 30th anniversary. It glows against the night sky, making it the most famous sight in the city's skyline after dark.

The lights go out at midnight every night, and it is said that when you see the tower lights go out at night with the person you love, you can have a long and happy relationship. During the hot summer months of July to September, the tower's lights are set to a cool white color, while in the cold winter months, they turn a deep, warm orange.

Every Monday, the tower is illuminated with a special light show called "Infinity Diamond Veil" to celebrate the Order and the new era. Each month, the light show takes on a different color. Special festivals such as New Year's celebrations and Valentine's Day are celebrated with unique lighting displays.

What is more interesting is that once a month, on the night of the full moon, the tower lights will be completely extinguished.

For visitors, there are two observation decks at Tokyo Tower, which offer a panoramic view of the city. A special observation deck is located at 249.9 meters, with three elevators constantly transporting visitors. It takes only one minute by elevator to get from the ground floor of the building to the observation deck, but if you prefer, you can climb the 563 steps.

The lower observation deck, called Main Deck, is divided into two levels. At 150 meters above ground level, the view from here is about as high as the roofs of nearby skyscrapers and office buildings. However, the view is excellent, and you can see all of Tokyo or even further away.

On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji to the west very clearly. Recently, this observation deck underwent renovation work, and larger window panels have been installed, allowing for a clearer view of the outside world.

Getting to the Tokyo Tower is convenient, with many transportation options available. The tower is easily accessible by train or bus. The closest station is Akabanebashi Station on the Oedo Line, which is just a five-minute walk from the tower. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Tokyo Station or Shinjuku Station, and it will take you directly to the tower.

Visitors to Tokyo Tower can choose from various ticket packages depending on their preference. There is the Main Deck Admission ticket that allows you access to the lower observation deck, while the Top Deck Admission ticket gives you access to the special observation deck.
