In the eastern part of Tokyo in the area of Schiba, one of the main symbols of the capital of Japan is the old television tower. It was built in the 50s and for that time was a unique height (330 m) metal structure. Moreover, steel was used from repulsed boves American tanks. For the sample, the architect took the Eiffel Tower, although it was unlikely to surpass her beauty. In addition, the red and white color looks too functional, although coincides with the colors of the national flag.
Personally, I traveled to the tower always on foot, as I stayed at the hotel nearby. However, the four metro stations of different lines are located nearby, the path from which takes from 5 to 10 minutes. However, I would advise you to use the ring urban jr, travel on it cheaper and faster, the scheme is the simplest, and the city can see the city in contrast to the subway. From the Hamamacet Caution Station, it takes about 15 minutes if you do not go to the most interesting temple complex Zoyai on the way.
The tower operates from 9 am to 11 pm. The entrance ticket costs about 10 dollars for an adult and 5 for a child. Moreover, it is valid for the whole day, i.e. In principle, the economical person can pass his comrade after visiting. Tickets are required by those who want to rise to the observation platform. Those who want to walk on the lower floors can do it for free. Here are souvenir shops, cafes, small exhibitions, and on the lower floor aquarium with hundreds of seeds of marine inhabitants. Souvenirs are not the most interesting and cheap souvenirs. The aquarium looks at all impressive.
I recommend to visit the tower in the evening, but before sunset. Thus, at first it will be possible to examine the city - each sector is equipped with a card with the indication of the main attractions. If you're lucky with the absence of clouds, you can even see Mount Fuji. And then at the occurrence of darkness, the illumination is turned on - a wonderful sight.
