- Top Deck Tour: ¥200 cheaper online for an adult; buy on the website before you go.
- Tokyo Diamond Tour: limited to 70 guests a day, with departures on the hour from 12:00 to 18:00. This is the ticket to book ahead.
- Weather: the tower can suspend the Top Deck Tour and the Diamond Tour in storms, so check on the day.
Which booking includes which deck
The tower sells its own tickets at the prices above on its website. The GetYourGuide admission ticket covers the same three decks as options, costs from US$10 for the Main Deck against ¥1,500 at the window, and keeps the booking in English with your other plans. Two bus tours fold a Main Deck visit into a first day in Tokyo: Hato Bus runs the morning route below and an afternoon version (from $40, 4.5 from 390 reviews).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much are Tokyo Tower tickets?
An adult Main Deck (150m) ticket is Β₯1,500, the same at the window as online, and from US$10 on GetYourGuide. The Top Deck Tour (250m, includes the Main Deck) is Β₯3,300 online or Β₯3,500 at the window, and the Tokyo Diamond Tour is Β₯7,000. High-school students, children and preschoolers pay less, and under-4s go free. Every age group is in the price table (tower fee page, checked October 2026).
Do I need to book Tokyo Tower tickets in advance?
Not for the Main Deck: you can turn up and pay at the window, and buying ahead only saves the ticket queue. The Top Deck Tour is Β₯200 cheaper online for an adult, so buy it on the website before you go. The Tokyo Diamond Tour is limited to 70 guests a day, so book that one ahead. Check dates
Is the Top Deck Tour worth it over the Main Deck?
The Main Deck at 150m already gives full 360-degree views, the glass floor, and cafΓ©. The Top Deck Tour adds the 250m deck with floor-to-ceiling windows, mirror installations, a drink and a photo card, and a guided multimedia experience β worth it for first-time visitors who want the full experience, at a little over double the price. On hazy days the Main Deck alone is the better value.
Can you just turn up at Tokyo Tower?
Yes. The Main Deck sells tickets at the window every day from 9:00, with last entry at 22:30, though the tower can close entry earlier when it is crowded. You can buy the Top Deck Tour at the window too, but it costs Β₯200 more than online. If you want the ticket sorted before you fly, the GetYourGuide admission ticket is bought ahead in English, and some of its options stay valid for up to six months.
Can you go up Tokyo Tower for free?
No. The observation decks are paid for everyone aged 4 and over, and under-4s go free. Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple next door are free, and they give some of the best views of the tower itself.
Can I see Mt. Fuji from Tokyo Tower?
Yes β on clear days, especially winter mornings (November to February). Mt. Fuji is visible roughly 80 days a year, about 100km to the southwest. See our Mt. Fuji visibility guide for month-by-month odds and the best decks to try.
How long should I spend at Tokyo Tower?
A quick visit takes 1 to 1.5 hours. A standard visit with both decks and photos runs 2 to 3 hours. With nearby Zojoji Temple and Shiba Park, plan a half day.
Is Tokyo Tower wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Elevators reach all levels, restrooms are accessible, and wheelchair rentals are available free of charge at the information desk.
Tokyo Tower or Tokyo Skytree β which should I visit?
Tokyo Tower (1958, 333m) is central, historic, and famous for its orange silhouette and views that include the tower-free skyline. Skytree (2012, 634m) is taller and more modern, in east Tokyo. Many visitors do both β they photograph each other's skyline. See our full ranking of Tokyo's observation decks.
Can I climb Tokyo Tower on foot?
Yes β the open-air Tower Climb takes about 600 steps to the Main Deck, typically on weekends and holidays 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, weather permitting. Climbers get a certificate at the top, and the stairs use the same admission ticket as the elevator.
