Visit Report: Tower Hall Funabori Observatory
Tower Hall Funabori is beloved as a landmark of Edogawa City.
This large-scale complex facility houses event venues, conference rooms, movie theaters, and more, sometimes counted as one of the "Three Great Towers of Tokyo" alongside Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree.
At 115m (377 ft) high, there's a circular-corridor style free observatory that offers panoramic views of all Tokyo. Free observatories with such spectacular views are precious finds in Tokyo.
The highlight is the western scenery where you can see Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, Mount Fuji, and more. It's an urban landscape with impressive, dramatic appeal.
The view of Tokyo Skytree is arguably among Tokyo's most beautiful. With no obstructions, you can see Skytree's complete silhouette crystal clear.
For tripod photography, you need to visit the reception on the 5th floor before taking the direct elevator to get a permit. The permit is issued free of charge, so don't forget to stop by.
Visitors planning to take photos should keep this in mind.
