This was pretty cool. Very easy to get to from the subway too. We went up to the very top and it felt like the whole structure was swaying. Kinda freaky. All in all good times. Do the observation towers when the weather is the clearest.
I gave it a crappy rating for value because you can go to the Tokyo Government building and get to see all the same stuff for free.

Gorgeous tower. sceneadvisor.com profiled the 50th. A monument to some and a monstrosity to others, Tokyo Tower turned 50 on the birthday. The 333-meter-high (1,092-foot-high) tower in the heart of Tokyo marked its 50th anniversary Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2008, with a light show, a day-long concert and a cake-cutting

big deal

i didn't think it was that great. painted a rather tacky red and white similar to tv and cell phone towers. as usual there is plenty of shopping beneath the crotch of this aesthetic monstrosity, so i guess you could go for that...
I really enjoyed the rich beauity of the palace gardens and the imperial palace. And visting the Foot Hill temple before getting a great view of Tokyo ...
They're going to tear down Tokyo tower soon, so if you wanna see it go soon. It's pretty cool tower, especially at night. You will be able to see most of Tokyo's skyscrapers. They do some crazy stuff during Christmas and new year, so go check it out!
I really enjoyed the rich beauity of the palace gardens and the imperial palace. And visting the Foot Hill temple before getting a great view of Tokyo from the Tower. I would love to go back.

Tokyo Tower

As you can expect, the view was awesome and well worth the ~800 yen for the first platform and an extra ~600 for the second. Unfortunately, this is a popular place and you'll spend most of your time in queues to go either up or down. So yea, you might want to check when the busiest times are and avoid them.
