Tokyo Night View Spot List

Visit Report: Tokyo Tower Observation Decks Main Deck & Top Deck

Built in 1958 as Japan's first full-scale night view observation deck. Even after more than 60 years since opening, it continues to be beloved as Tokyo's representative landmark.

Following a renovation that reopened in 2018, the former 'Dai-tenbodai' was renamed 'Main Deck.' It bustles not only with Japanese visitors but also many international tourists. During my weekend evening visit, the atmosphere was vibrant and international, with various languages being spoken throughout.

The distinctive feature is being able to enjoy Tokyo's cityscape from 360 degrees, with highlights in each direction as follows:

North Side Enjoy the high-rise building night views created by the Toranomon skyscraper cluster, including Azabudai Hills South Side View the scenery that became a social media sensation as 'Another Tokyo Tower' due to Metropolitan Route 301 merging with National Route 1 to form a tower-like shape East Side Gaze upon the illuminated Rainbow Bridge, Zojoji Temple, and Shiba Park West Side Take in Mount Fuji and the high-rise building cluster including Roppongi Hills

Incidentally, Tokyo Tower also has a Top Deck separate from the Main Deck, offering views of Tokyo's cityscape from a height of 250m (820 ft). With advance reservations required and limited capacity, the key point is being able to spend time more leisurely compared to the Main Deck.

This is also recommended for those who want to enjoy night view appreciation in a calm setting or experience the scenery from an overwhelming height.
