Tokyo Tower Top Deck — Attraction in Tokyo

Although the view from the top is nice the experience itself is pretty bad, especially for non-Japanese speakers. The first floor is nice, but after waiting for the next one you are given a radio to listen to some explanation... two people get one tape that have one earing. One needs to listen one needs to read. In the background one one is explaining in Japanese and with a microphone, so it is really hard to listen to the tape... it's like this in every section.

Second floor is only for taking a picture (that costs money of course) and if you don't want to you still need to wait for the next level... the observation deck is blocked for you if you are not taking a photo...

Next level is the main attraction. They do try to keep it not crowded and it has a nice view. But the cost difference (1,200¥ to 3,000¥) does not worth it just to go up.

And of course, to go down, you need to...

We went on a not busy day, so a portion of the tour was a little awkward due to the amount of staff standing and watching you finish a beverage they offer before continuing onward. Other than that the views are phenomenal, The tower itself is gorgeous, and the staff are super friendly. I recommend going at night for the view of the city lights! P.S. the best part is...

Probably because of this lowest level of service in Japan, there are few domestic repeaters, so that it is not very crowded. 時間制なのにかなり待たさせる。 降りるときもかなり待つ。 それなのに狭い定員少ないエレベーターに従業員が2人も乗る。 意味不明なタイミングで渡されるワンドリンクはアクエリアスor生茶。 写真は景色が伝わらず柱、ゴミ箱が丸写り。 展望デッキには景色の説明がないので、分かりづらい。土地勘のない人や外国人にも不親切なので。 おそらくこの最低レベルサービスのおかげで国内のリピーターが少なく、そのおかげであまり混んでない。

Makes you wait a lot even though it's scheduled ticket. Wait a long time when you go up and also down. Even so, there are two employees in a narrow elevator with a small capacity. One drink handed at an incomprehensible timing. You can choose a cup of Aquarius or Namacha(green tea). If you buy the picture, the pillars and trash cans are shown in it. It definitely very low quality service. There is no explanation of the scenery on the observation deck, so it is difficult to understand especially for unfriendly to people who are unfamiliar with the area and foreigners.
