The famous 600-step open-air exterior staircase connecting Tokyo Tower Foot Town and the Main Deck (150m) is a Tokyo Tower signature experience. Usually open on weekends and holidays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, this Valentine's Day (February 14th) will be special as the staircase remains open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM (last entry)!

The real highlight of the nighttime open-air staircase is the unique sensation of climbing through the illuminated steel framework while enjoying the night views.

Even better, February 14th will feature the special "Valentine's Diamond Veil" illumination in pink, creating a magical experience as you climb through the pink-lit tower while taking in the nighttime cityscape. Share this special moment with someone dear as you encourage each other up the stairs – it might just become a literal "step up" in your relationship!
