Tokyo Tower Observation Decks
Last updated: August 26, 2026
Tokyo Tower rises 333 metres over the city it has symbolised since 1958, and its two observation decks are the classic way to take Tokyo in. The two-storey Main Deck at 150 metres pairs sweeping panoramas with lookdown windows set into the floor, while the Top Deck at 250 metres lifts you higher still — with Tokyo Skytree, Odaiba and, on a clear day, Mt. Fuji on the horizon.

The Main Deck sits at 150 metres across two storeys, with lookdown windows set into the floor, a café and a souvenir shop. The Top Deck is a smaller, mirror-lined gallery at 250 metres reached by its own lift — the higher vantage opens up Tokyo Skytree, Odaiba and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji.
Akabanebashi Station on the Toei Oedo Line is the closest, about five minutes on foot; Kamiyacho on the Hibiya Line and Onarimon on the Mita Line are both within a ten-minute walk. Approaching through Shiba Park puts the tower's full height in front of you the whole way.
Yes — an open-air stairway of around 600 steps runs up to the Main Deck as an alternative to the lift, weather permitting. The climb takes most visitors around 15 minutes, with the view widening at every landing.
