Why Visit Kyoto Tower?

Kyoto Tower, standing 131 metres (429 feet), provides stunning panoramic views of Kyoto and even Osaka. Completed in 1964, it symbolizes a blend of tradition and modernity in Japan. Designed by architect Mamoru Yamada in collaboration with Kyoto University, its sail-like structure is engineered to withstand earthquakes and typhoons. The tower features restaurants, souvenir shops, and the Tower Kyoto Hotel, all beneath the observation deck offering remarkable views.

The Best Vantage Point in Kyoto

At 100 metres (328 feet) above ground, the observation deck at Kyoto Tower provides unrivalled views.
