Tokyo Tower was finished in 1958, a red and white lattice tower inspired by the Eiffel Tower and slightly taller. For decades it was the symbol of a city rebuilding itself after the war, and it is still the warmest sight on the Tokyo skyline.
In the morning the tower stands among the towers of Minato as the sun comes up over Tokyo Bay. In the evening it lights up in warm orange, and on clear winter days you can see Mount Fuji far to the west at sunset from its observation deck.
A sunrise over Tokyo Tower is a gift for someone who loves Tokyo — a city that never sleeps, at the one moment it is almost quiet.
The best season
Winter, from December to February, brings dry, clear air and the best chance of seeing Mount Fuji. Spring has cherry blossom in Shiba Park below the tower; summer is humid and hazy.
Where to watch
Shiba Park and the Zojoji Temple grounds look up at the tower. Roppongi Hills to the west shows it against the city at sunset and after dark.
