Climbing Tokyo Tower (東京タワー外階段)

How tall is Tokyo Tower?
333 meters tall (1,092 ft), 9 meters taller than the Eiffel tower in Paris.

When was Tokyo Tower built?
It was opened in 1958.
The fact that it’s 333 meters tall and it opened in year 33 of the Showa era is just a coincidence.

What is Tokyo Tower used for?
It was built as a television antenna, but since all television went digital in July 2011, two FM radio stations remain on Tokyo Tower; Inter FM and Tokyo FM.

Although it looks red and white, it is actually international orange and white.
Why is it white and orange?
That’s a safety feature.

Do they ever turn the lights off?
Yes, every evening at midnight.

Do you have to pay to go to the top?
Yes, and there are two options:
As of March 2023, you can get to the main deck, which is 150 meters, for ¥1200.
The elevator to the top deck, which is 250 meters, costs ¥3000 and it includes entrance to the main deck.
You can get a small discount if you buy ahead online. Link below.

How much does it cost to light the tower?
¥21,000 a day – less than $200

How many steps is it?
It’s 600 steps to the top, and you can do it in about 15 minutes.
