Tokyo Tower tickets cost \u00a51,500 (about US$10) for an adult on the 150m Main Deck, or \u00a53,300 (about US$21) online for the Top Deck Tour to 250m, which rises to \u00a53,500 at the counter. The Main Deck is open 9:00\u201323:00 with last entry at 22:30, and you don’t need to book it ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Top Deck Tour is the one to book: it runs on timed slots, it’s \u00a5200 cheaper online, and evening slots can sell out. At weekends and on public holidays you can also walk up about 600 outdoor steps to the Main Deck for the price of a normal ticket. Below: every price, which ticket suits whom, the stations and exits, and what’s on in November and December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US$ at \u00a5157 = US$1: the Main Deck is about US$10, the Top Deck Tour about US$21 online or US$22 at the counter, and the Diamond Tour about US$45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price list starts at age 4, so there’s no ticket category for younger children. The Top Deck Tour price includes the Main Deck. The outdoor stairs have no separate fee: you pay the normal Main Deck price (official stairs page<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many English guides still quote \u00a51,200 for the Main Deck and \u00a52,800 \/ \u00a53,000 for the Top Deck Tour. Those are old prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Tokyo Tower ticket should you buy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three tickets and one way to skip the lift. For most first-timers, the Main Deck is enough. Pay for the Top Deck Tour if you want the guided bit and the higher view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Main Deck (Observation deck)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Tokyo
The two-storey Main Deck box sits at 150m; the Skywalk Window glass floor is on its lower level. Photo: Ignacio Estevo \/ Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Lowdown: The classic 150m deck, spread over two floors. Floor 1 has the Skywalk Window glass floor, where you look straight down 150m, plus Caf\u00e9 La Tour. Floor 2 has the official shop and Tower Daijingu, a small shrine (official Main Deck page<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: Inside Tokyo Tower, 4-2-8 Shibakoen, Minato-ku. Lifts go up from the tower’s ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vibe: Busy, bright and family-friendly. Lower than Skytree, but closer to the city, so buildings look like buildings rather than a model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price: Adult \u00a51,500, high school \u00a51,200, child \u00a5900, preschool (4+) \u00a5600. The same price online and at the counter. Open 9:00\u201323:00, last entry 22:30, and the tower warns last entry may be earlier when it’s crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Link: Tokyo Tower tickets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: Buy it online anyway. It costs the same, and you walk past the ticket queue on a busy Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Top Deck Tour (Guided tour to 250m)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Tokyo
The Top Deck at 250m is the smaller box above the Main Deck. Book a slot about 30 minutes after sunset. Photo: Christian MacMillan \/ Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Lowdown: A timed tour to the Top Deck at 250m, a mirrored, glass-walled room with a 360\u00b0 view. A December 2025 visitor report describes the format: you collect an audio-guide smartphone on the ground floor, look round the Main Deck, then meet at the Top Deck Gate. From there you pass through the Tower Gallery and a “Secret Library” in a former office, take a souvenir photo and a free drink on the platform, then go up to the top (Castel, December 2025<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: Start at the Top Deck lane on the ground floor of the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vibe: Part museum, part light show. Quieter than the Main Deck because numbers are capped per slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price: Adult \u00a53,300 online, \u00a53,500 at the counter. Includes the Main Deck. Runs 9:00\u201322:45, last entry 22:15. It’s suspended in bad weather (official fee page<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Link: Top Deck Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: Book the slot about 30 minutes after sunset. You go up with the last colour in the sky and come down to the full night view on the Main Deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tokyo Diamond Tour (Premium tour)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Lowdown: The premium version of the Top Deck Tour, capped at 10 people per tour and 70 a day. You wait in the Maple Lounge with free drinks and snacks, then a performer and an attendant take you round. You get a framed souvenir photo at the end (official Diamond Tour page<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: Meet at the Maple Lounge, Foot Town 1F, at least 15 minutes before departure. Late arrivals can’t join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vibe: Small group, no queues, a bit of theatre. It suits a special occasion more than a first look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price: Adult \u00a57,000, high school \u00a56,500, child \u00a54,700, preschool (4+) \u00a53,300. Seven departures a day, hourly from 12:00 to 18:00. Book on asoview, the official seller. No changes, cancellations or refunds within 2 days of the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Link: Tokyo Diamond Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: The last tour leaves at 18:00. In November and December that’s after dark, so it’s the slot for night views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Open-air stairs (Stair climb)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Steps

The Lowdown: About 600 outdoor steps from the roof of Foot Town to the Main Deck at 150m. It takes about 12\u201313 minutes, and climbers get a “Noppon-certified” certificate. You can’t switch to the lift halfway (official stairs page<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: Start on the Foot Town rooftop, at the foot of the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vibe: Windy, a bit sweaty and good fun. You see the steel frame up close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price: Included in the normal Main Deck price. Going up is weekends and public holidays only, 9:00\u201316:00. Going down runs every day, 9:00\u201320:00. Both close in rain, storms or heatstroke alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Link: Open-air stairs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Japan Pro Tip: In November and December 2026, the up-stairs days are every Saturday and Sunday plus 3 November (Culture Day) and 23 November (Labour Thanksgiving Day). On a weekday, you can still walk down from 150m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it cheaper to buy Tokyo Tower tickets online?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only for the Top Deck Tour, and only by \u00a5200 per adult. The Main Deck and the Diamond Tour have a single price (official fee page<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official ticket page<\/a> links to asoview for the Main Deck, the Top Deck Tour and the Diamond Tour. Set tickets that pair the deck with other activities are also sold through asoview, Jalan and Trip.com. Klook and similar platforms resell tickets too, so compare their price with the official one before you pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need to book Tokyo Tower in advance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"People

Not for the Main Deck. Just turn up. For the Top Deck Tour, booking ahead is worth it, especially for evening slots at weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
