Tokyo Tower by Night — Simply Magical! I visited Tokyo Tower in the evening around 8:30pm, and the night view of the city was absolutely breathtaking. Seeing Tokyo illuminated from above — with endless lights stretching in every direction — was a moment I’ll never forget. The atmosphere at night is calm and romantic, and the tower itself looks stunning all lit up. The observation deck offers inc...

We didn’t go to the top, but just being around Tokyo Tower was an amazing experience! The tower looks stunning up close, especially in the evening when it lights up. The area around it has a nice vibe, with great spots to take photos and enjoy the view. A must-see if you’re in Tokyo! 🇯🇵📸

The elevators for getting up and down the tower were pretty small, each can hold about 6 people comfortably with everyone spaced out but they cram a lot of people in the so it gets hard to stand comfortably. My family and I took the ...
