Worthless.

Never buy a ticket here. At the counter of the tower much cheaper. Later contacted viator. No more responses received. We feel ripped off.

Great views of Kyoto

The Kyoto Tower has a great view of the whole city. There are free binoculars around the tower and indicators on the window of the major buildings, although they could be more helpful. Admission was JPY 900 where you can buy online or on site. Length of visit: < 1 hour Atmosphere: good, not too crowded on a Friday morning Staff: very courteous and extremely helpful.

Kyoto’s Tallest Modern Building

Kyoto Tower is a wonderful observation spot right next to Kyoto Station, offering stunning 360-degree views from 100 meters high. Standing at 131 meters tall, it's the tallest modern building in the city. This impressive landmark provides a truly unique perspective of Kyoto, blending the city's traditional charm with modern architecture. Kyoto Tower looks especially beautiful in the evening light. I was tempted to go up to the observatory for 900 yen, but the queue looked quite long, so I decided to enjoy this gorgeous tower right in front of Kyoto Station instead, soaking in its beauty.

Great view...Worth a visit ~

The Towers are always a must because of the views. This one is right at the train station. It was night time when we got there and all lit up. We didn't go to the top until the next day. Great view and worth a visit ~

No worries and we loved it

Very easy and hassle-free excellent experience fast and efficient, with the input they scanned directly from the mobile. We climbed the tower and loved the observatory. They took a souvenir photo.
