In the game
Tokyo Tower is the stage for the late chapters of Ghostwire: Tokyo. The game shows it lit up in orange above a shrine at its foot, and its store page lists it with Shibuya Crossing as the game's iconic landmarks. Japan's tourism board notes that the Tango Gameworks studio is hidden in the game just south of the tower.
The real place
The 333-metre tower was finished in 1958 as a broadcasting tower, modelled on the Eiffel Tower and painted international orange and white for air safety. It stands in Shiba Park, next to Zōjō-ji temple, and at night it is usually lit in the warm orange Landmark Light seen here.
Visiting
The Main Deck at 150 metres needs no booking; the Top Deck tour at 250 metres is best reserved online. For the classic photo, walk through Shiba Park or the grounds of Zōjō-ji at dusk, when the lights come on.
