Landmarks & Monuments in Tokyo

Standing at 634 meters, Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest tower and offers unparalleled panoramic views of the sprawling metropolis. The tower features two observation decks the Tembo Deck at 350m and the Tembo Galleria at 450m. On clear days, you can see Mount Fuji in the distance. The complex includes shopping, dining, an aquarium, and a planetarium, making it an all-day destination.

Inspired by the Eiffel Tower, this 333-meter tall orange and white landmark has been Tokyo's symbol since 1958. Visit the Main Observatory at 150m or the Top Deck at 250m for stunning city views. The tower is beautifully illuminated at night, creating a romantic atmosphere. The base houses museums, shops, and restaurants themed around Japanese pop culture and history.

Home to Japan's Emperor, the Imperial Palace sits on the former grounds of Edo Castle surrounded by impressive stone walls and moats. While the inner grounds are generally closed, the East Gardens are open to the public and feature beautiful landscapes, historical ruins, and seasonal flowers. The palace's double-bridge (Nijubashi) is one of Tokyo's most photographed landmarks. Guided tours of the palace grounds are available by reservation.

This 798-meter suspension bridge connects central Tokyo to the waterfront area of Odaiba. The bridge features spectacular LED illuminations at night that change colors with the seasons. You can walk across the pedestrian walkway for free views of Tokyo Bay, though the walk takes about 30 minutes. The bridge appears frequently in Japanese films and television as a symbol of modern Tokyo.
