Tokyo Tower, built in 1958, is a symbol of Japan's recovery and modernization after World War II. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower, it was originally a television and radio broadcasting tower, and today it is an iconic observation point and emblem of the city. It represents Japan's spirit of renewal.

The best time to visit is at sunset, as you can enjoy daytime views, the sunset itself, and the city lights coming on. As for the best season, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer more pleasant weather and clearer skies. Check visibility forecasts before you go.
