Tokyo Tower: Main Deck or Top Deck?
Choose between Tokyo Tower’s 150 m Main Deck and the 250 m Top Deck Tour. The Top Deck Tour includes Main Deck access, so first avoid buying overlapping tickets.
Official information reviewedWhere should I start?
The official ticket guide includes both decks in the Top Deck Tour. Recheck the product name and included areas before paying.
Planning this outing
Decide whether you want a short viewing stop or time for a tour. For evening views, leave space between deck entry and dinner reservations. Keep an indoor backup as an option rather than booking it for the same time, so weather changes do not create conflicting reservations.
Questions before you go
Do Top Deck visitors need a separate Main Deck ticket?
The official ticket guide includes both decks in the Top Deck Tour. Recheck the product name and included areas before paying.
Does the Top Deck always operate in bad weather?
Bad weather or safety conditions can suspend the tour. Check your seller’s and ticket’s instructions for changes or refunds.
Are all Tokyo Tower tickets cheaper online?
It depends on the product. Compare web and counter prices separately for each deck, and do not upgrade solely for a discount if you do not want the extra experience.
