The special observatory in Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower reached the practicing fiftieth anniversary on December 23rd in 2008. Since practicing in 1958, it is proud of the height (333m) which is the best in the world as the independent steel tower. It was charged (Heisei 23) with a role as the electric wave tower which sends the electric wave of the TV and so on but it transfers the role to Sumida Ward Oshiage in 2011 when the Tokyo sky tree is complete (Of the relief because the removal of Tokyo Tower isn't thought of). Building what which is in the foot of ( Tokyo Tower where there was a sense which became outdated with images such as the outdated tourist resort there being is Tokyo Tower? When opposite with the movie of "the setting sun in ALWAYS 3-chome" and so on in ) indignantly and where the smell in the Showa times was hanging It gets to be bathed in the footlights as the place where it is possible to appreciate nostalgia in the Showa times. It gets off to the fact that the impact formed in the view in Tokyo in that the development of the Waterfront Subcenter in , and also at Odaiba and so on was done and gulf scenery's, too, changing roughly and so on and it is possible to make a line to be consecutive holidays and so on to enter a big observatory, too.
There are two observatories in such Tokyo Tower. It is some "the big observatory" and "the special observatory" which is in the 250-m height to the 150-m height.
The big observatory becomes 2 pieces of layer structure of the 1st floor and the 2nd floor, and there are a cafe and a store, a shrine and so on and crowds of excursionists can enter. In the holiday, it releases stairs, too, and it becomes possible, too, to go up and down using the stairs of about 600 paragraphs.
The special observatory is more the small circular observatory which is in 100 m upper (being 250 m from the ground) from the big observatory. The one of the time not to be an observatory at open first and to service an antenna and so on When heading for the special observatory from the big observatory in the one to have generally made public the one (Showa 42) which was used as the workbench in 1967, it asks the facility space which the excursionist turning doesn't make unconciously and it can be known. Because it is extremely good, once, the view from the special observatory is the observatory to want to attempt to climb, but as expected, because it is transporting a piston in that the elevator which can do the ride of about 11 is only in one, it awakes to the waiting time and must pass. The desire is to head for the special observatory, entering at 9 o'clock of the open time.
The admission fee is 820 yen of adults to the big observatory and is 600 yen more to the special observatory. At the 1st floor, a ticket at the special observatory can not be bought and it buys it at the big observatory. Business hours 9:00-22:00.
