Kyoto Tower Tickets

One of the major attractions of the Kyoto Tower is the magnificent view that it offers from its 100 meters high Observation Deck. With your Kyoto Tower tickets, you can gaze at the Toji Temple which is the head temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Inside the Toji Temple is the five-storied structure which was built by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the grandson of Japan’s first shogun. The five-storied National Treasure stands at a height of 55 meters which makes it the tallest pagoda in Japan.

Once you get your hands on your Kyoto Tower entry tickets, you will be spoilt for choices by the number of things you can do inside. Situated 18 meters atop a cliff, sits the Kiyomizu Temple, which is distinctly visible from the Kyoto Tower’s Observation Deck. The temple is a World Heritage Site and is also among the popular tourist attractions in Kyoto. The view of the Kiyomizu Temple surrounded by lush green trees is a divine vision that’ll leave you in awe.

The Nishi Honganji Temple is located at a 15-minute walk from the Kyoto Tower, however, the bird’s eye view of the temple’s site is truly a vision to behold. The Honganji temple is a great place to experience modern Japanese Buddhism. It is one of the head temples of the Jodo-Shin sect with over 10,000 sub-temples in Japan and about 200 across the world. The temple was declared one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites in 1994 and the beautiful ancient Japanese architecture is enchanting to witness.

The Tofukuji Sanmon Gate was built during the 14th century and is considered one of the oldest and largest National Treasures of Japan. The classic architecture of the Sanmon Gate comprises elements from Japanese, Chinese, and Indian architectural styles. Your Kyoto Tower tickets will offer you a distinct view of the Rakuna area of the temple which is typically closed to the public. The view is much better during the autumn season as the maple trees surrounding the temple turn red and accentuate its beauty to another level.

Famous for its 1001 statues of the armed goddess named Kannon, the Sanjusangendo temple is another beautiful sight you can peek at from the Kyoto Tower. The temple was originally built in 1164 by Taira no Kiyomori and rebuilt a century later due to the damage caused by a fire. The Main Hall of the Sanjusangendo temple is 120 meters high which is the longest wooden structure in Japan. Your tickets for Kyoto Tower will provide you with a clear vision of the beautiful temple hall from the deck.

Chion-In Temple is the head temple of Japanese Buddhism’s Jodo sect which is another National Treasure that you can spot from the Kyoto Tower. The Chion-In Sanmon Gate is an eye-catching attraction of the temple which stands at a height of 24 meters. The history of the Sanmon Gate dates back to the early 1600s and it’s the largest wooden temple gate in Japan. The glorious beauty of the Sanmon Gate is hard to look away from and you will be instantly able to spot it from the Observation Deck.
