Tokyo Tower is similar to the Eiffel Tower, except that this one is the largest freestanding steel structure in the world. The views from Tokyo Tower at night are supposed to be great but the timing worked out that it was better to go there in the morning, and randomly today happened to be clear enough to see Mt. Fuji. If you ever go and the weather is clear, pay the extra money and plan to wait a bit longer on the main observation deck to go up to the top. They have a good queuing system that lets you wander around the main deck until your number is allowed to go up to the top level. At the lowest floor on the main level there is
a window that you can look straight down to the people and traffic far below...Around part of the base of the tower there is a children's play area with rides, and oddly, a trained monkey show. He/she was rather talented to the delight of the crowd and was sporting some shorts and a hawaiian style t-shirt.
