Great view of the city. Did notice the tower does sway a little although. I do recommend getting there at sunset to see the city lit up. Does look better as the snow is setting or sunset. Open till late which is great.
The entrance fee for Kyoto Tower is definitely worth it! You get an amazing view over the entire city of Kyoto. The telescopes are a lot of fun too – they really bring out your inner child. A great experience overall and highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto!
You can go up in this tower and check Kyoto from the sky. Since there are not a lot of tall buildings in the city you can see almost everywhere. Is not expensive and you can go up very fast. We saw a really nice sunset.
Last stop today before heading for the hotel. Enjoyed the view from 100m during day time and also after dark. Also got a chance to capture Shinkansen train from the top.
Ticket was 1,000 Yen per adult.
