Tokyo Tower: An Experience of Climbing on Foot

Hello, in this article, I will provide information about Tokyo Tower. Tokyo Tower is cherished as a symbol of Tokyo. While many people take the elevator to the observation deck, you can actually climb it on foot. You can walk up to the main deck located at a height of 150m in Tokyo Tower, which consists of 600 steps.

  1. Benefits of Climbing on Foot
    By walking, you can thoroughly enjoy the internal structure of Tokyo Tower and the cityscape. It's also recommended as a way to combat a lack of exercise and as a personal challenge. By the way, when descending, you can use either the elevator or the stairs; both are fine.
  2. Precautions
    When climbing on foot, please choose appropriate footwear. Avoid high heels or shoes that are slippery.
  3. Time
    On average, it takes about 15 minutes to climb, but depending on your pace, it might take longer. The fastest recorded time so far is 2 minutes and 6 seconds, set by an adult male. If you're confident in your stair-climbing abilities, why not challenge this record? When I tried, it took me about 10 minutes!
  4. Fees
    The fee for climbing on foot is the same as the regular admission fee. For detailed pricing, please check the official website.
  5. Access
    Tokyo Tower is easily accessible by train or bus. The nearest stations are the Oedo Line's "Akabanebashi station" and the Hibiya Line's "Kamiyacho station". For more details, please refer to the official website.

If you visit Japan, I highly recommend experiencing the climb of Tokyo Tower on foot. It will surely become a special memory for you.
