Top places to visit

1. Tokyo Skytree

In 2012, Tokyo made world news when visitors flocked to the opening of the tallest tower on the planet. Standing at 634 metres, Skytree is twice as high as the Eiffel Tower and gives unrivalled views of Tokyo’s cityscape and beautiful surrounding environment. Poets and artists across the centuries have looked to Mount Fuji for inspiration, and from Skytree you can take a moment to gaze on its symmetrical, snow-capped cone from a unique perspective.

2. Tokyo Tower

From the ground, Tokyo Tower in southern Tokyo is an unmissable landmark. Inspired by Paris’s Eiffel Tower, but nine metres taller, it was built during the reconstruction of Tokyo after World War II both as a broadcasting tower and as a symbol of Japan’s growing economic power. When it was finished in 1958, it was the tallest tower in the world. Since then, more than 150 million people have visited the tower and continue to flock here every year.
