Staff Pick! How to Enjoy the Top Deck Tour in October
October brings crisp, clear air, making it the perfect season for sweeping views. With sunset occurring around 5:00 PM, it is a wonderful time to leisurely enjoy the shifting scenery as evening turns into night. Here, we introduce some staff-recommended ways to enjoy the "TOP DECK TOUR" during this special month. The TOP DECK TOUR is an immersive observation experience that takes you to the Top Deck, located 250 meters above the ground—well above the Main Deck (150 meters). To begin, present your ticket at the elevator boarding area on the first floor of FootTown and ascend to the Main Deck. Next, check in at the "Top Deck Gate"—the tour entrance located on the second floor of the Main Deck. As you make your way to the Top Deck while soaking in the history of Tokyo Tower, you can also enjoy a welcome drink and a photo service.
The Top Deck, reached via a glass-walled elevator, offers an atmosphere completely distinct from that of the Main Deck. Inside, geometric mirrors reflect the scenery outside, creating the sensation of being enveloped by the view.
For October, we recommend heading up before dusk so you can enjoy the transition from daylight to sunset and the night view all in one visit. With the skies so clear this time of year, distant cityscapes are often sharply visible, making the view from 250 meters up truly exceptional.
As the tour operates on a reservation-only, timed-entry basis, booking online ensures a smooth experience. Purchasing online also offers better value compared to other options. Whether you have previously enjoyed the view from the Main Deck or are visiting for the first time, we invite you to experience a fresh perspective of Tokyo with the October TOP DECK TOUR.
