Kyoto Tower Tickets

Unlock the best views of Japan's ancient capital with a ticket to Kyoto Tower, the tallest building in the city.

Why Visit Kyoto Tower?

Kyoto Tower stands 131 metres (429 feet) tall and offers stunning panoramic views of Kyoto and as far as Osaka. Completed in 1964, it symbolizes a fusion of tradition and modernisation. Designed by architect Mamoru Yamada and Kyoto University, its unique sail-like structure withstands earthquakes and typhoons. Your ticket grants access to various restaurants, souvenir shops, and the Tower Kyoto Hotel located beneath the observation deck.

The Best Vantage Point in Kyoto

Perched 100 metres (328 feet) above ground, the observation deck offers unrivalled views of the city. You can see iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, T?-ji Temple, and Hongan-ji, along with landmarks like Chion-in Temple and Sanj?sangen-d?. The contrast between Kyoto’s ancient temples and its modern skyline is striking. On clear days, you can also view the Osaka skyline and witness spectacular sunsets from the deck; telescopes are available for enhanced viewing.
