Main Deck or Top Deck Tour: which ticket should I buy?
Main Deck (150 m)
¥1,500. Open late, and the price is the same online and at the counter. Fine for a quick look or a night view.
Top Deck Tour (150 m + 250 m)
¥3,300 online. A visit to the 250 m Top Deck plus the Main Deck. Buy online: it's ¥200 more at the counter.
Tokyo Diamond Tour
¥7,000. Top Deck, Main Deck and a lounge. Only 70 places a day; the official site says buying online guarantees your entry.
The Top Deck Tour and Diamond Tour can be cancelled in bad weather or for other reasons, so keep an eye on the forecast if you book days ahead.
Do I need to book Tokyo Tower in advance?
For the Main Deck, not really. It costs the same online and at the counter, so you can buy it when you arrive. The official ticket page suggests buying ahead for a smoother entry.
For the Top Deck Tour, buy online for the ¥200 saving. The official pages don't say how far ahead tickets go on sale, so once your date is fixed, check the ticket site for it.

Official site or Klook: which is cheaper?
Tokyo Tower's own prices are fixed, so the comparison is simple: if an agency sells the Main Deck below ¥1,500 on your date, it's a saving; if not, buy from the official site or at the counter. Agency tickets have their own cancellation rules.

Is Tokyo Tower worth it, or should I go up Skytree instead?
Go to Tokyo Tower for the classic red tower and a central location; it's 7 minutes on foot from Kamiyacho, the station for Azabudai Hills. Go to Skytree for the greater height: its Tembo Galleria is at 450 m, against 250 m for Tokyo Tower's Top Deck.
Getting to Tokyo Tower
There is also a free hydrogen shuttle bus that loops from Tokyo Station via Takeshiba and Takanawa Gateway, about 60 minutes to the tower. An IC card covers all the trains above. Suica for visitors →
