Three Photo Spots to Capture Tokyo Tower Beautifully

2026.01.19

Tokyo Tower is one of the most iconic landmarks in Japan.
While it is impressive on its own, the surrounding environment greatly influences how it appears in photographs.
Below are three carefully selected photo spots where composition, background, and atmosphere come together to showcase Tokyo Tower at its best.

【Zojoji Temple】A timeless contrast between tradition and modern Tokyo

Zojoji Temple is one of the most well-known locations for photographing Tokyo Tower.
From the front of the main hall, you can capture a striking composition where the historic temple stands in the foreground and Tokyo Tower rises behind it.

This location offers different moods depending on the time of day.
If you visit in the evening, the temple is sometimes illuminated, allowing you to photograph both the lit-up main hall and Tokyo Tower together, creating a calm yet powerful image.

【Shiba Park】A spacious setting with natural colors and clean sightlines

Shiba Park provides an open environment with fewer tall buildings around, making it easier to photograph Tokyo Tower without visual distractions.

During the green season, the contrast between the lush grass and the red structure of Tokyo Tower creates a particularly pleasing image.
The wide open space also allows for flexible angles and compositions.

In autumn, the ginkgo tree-lined paths become a popular photo spot, where Tokyo Tower can be seen framed in the distance, adding seasonal character to your photographs.

【Akabanebashi Crossing】A clean, urban composition favored by photographers

Akabanebashi Crossing gained popularity through social media, thanks to its clear, unobstructed view of Tokyo Tower.

From this angle, surrounding buildings are mostly excluded, allowing Tokyo Tower to stand out against the cityscape.
Including road signs or crosswalk markings in the frame adds a strong urban atmosphere and tells a visual story of Tokyo.

Please be mindful of traffic and surroundings when taking photos here.
