Since its opening in 1958, the Tokyo Tower has been the world’s tallest self-supporting steel tower. The Tokyo tower stands at 333m (the Eiffel Tower is 320 m high). Tokyo Tower has two observation decks - the Main Observatory and the Special Observatory, both offer spectacular 360 degree views of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mount Fuji can be seen to the south. The Main Observatory (145m), has two “look down windows” that allow visitors to stand over a small clear window and look directly straight down at the ground below - not recommended for anyone with vertigo! The Special Observatory (250m) is a completely enclosed observatory with glass walls, and being up much higher than the Main Observatory, gives a better view. At night, the tower is lit up and looks fantastic.

Only in Japan could there be a museum dedicated to ramen - the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum is a unique museum devoted to the popular Japanese noodle and soup dish. The Ramen Museum covers the history of ramen noodles in Japan, including the huge global success of instant ramen. The museum features several ramen restaurants, with each store featuring a special ramen dish from a different region of Japan. You can taste all sorts of ramen by purchasing “mini ramen” dishes from each store. This is a great place to learn some Japanese ‘foodie’ history, and taste a great selection of ramen while you’re wandering around. Make sure you’re hungry!

If you’re looking for anime and manga in Tokyo, then your first stop should be one of the many Animate chain stores. They’re the largest retailer of anime, games, and manga in Japan, and their range is simply mind boggling. The original store in Ikebukuro opened way back in 1983, and has since been joined by another 38 stores across Japan. If you’re into anime, manga, or weird Japanese games - then prepare to spend at least an entire day (and whatever you’ve got in your wallet) at Animate. They even have their own vending machines dotted around Tokyo!
