Tokyo Tower

#japantrip One of the highly recommended places to go to, I found this place just alright. It is especially beautiful when illuminated so I recommend going at night time. On the ground there is a museum of the tower as well as various shops and eateries that reach up to five floors, so visitors could spend a good chunk of time here if they want. The observation deck itself is divided into the main deck (150m) and top deck (250m). Wasn't really a fan of being crammed into an elevator with a lot of people, but the staff were nice enough and gave a decent monologue on the way up. We only went to the main deck as we felt that the top deck prices were not worth it and had very long wait times when we arrived there. As for the main deck, it was a bit claustrophobic since there were so much people in a relatively small space which hindered my viewing experience. At the times that I could get a peak through the window, I found it quite beautiful but a bit lacking. The space again was an issue and some of the lights inside the main deck reflected on the viewing windows, making the viewing experience a bit ugly. Perhaps the Top Deck would have been a better experience, just be prepared to spend more time and money if you're going to do so.
