Top 6 most beautiful towers in Asia2026 ranking

If you’re planning to have day trips from Osaka, maybe you might want to try visit Kobe. It’s just 30 mins ride by train from Osaka and it has beautiful seaside view. Also, you can try the Kobe Beef right in the city! Best time to visit Kobe Port is before the sunset. It has Starbucks nearby and you can enjoy the scenery there. You can also go up to the tower if you want!

Obviously, as a Parisian, I immediately thought of the Eiffel Tower when I saw the Tokyo Tower. Going up to the observation deck is nice, with a beautiful view of Tokyo, even if the city is so huge that you do not really know where to look anymore (a bit like in Paris, actually). It is not the most beautiful monument in Tokyo, and even less so in all of Japan, but I still recommend it.

Towers... you see them everywhere in Japan, right? Still, this one clearly has its own identity, both day and night. I really liked the original shape that reminds me of traditional Japanese drums. And, as is often the case, this kind of place is the perfect spot to get a dreamy view. Plus, there is a rooftop terrace now!

Magnificent structure, a pleasant moment despite my fear of heights! Ranked among the most beautiful towers in the world by the Times, you can see why. Partially free (up to the 40th floor, I believe).

Very beloved by Tokyoites, it is one of the emblems of the city. And like everywhere in Tokyo, it is also a place for meeting up, restaurants, and shops. Over 300 meters high for a great view of the city.

Even off-season, sunset is a very popular time at the Umeda Sky Building. Definitely check the times online and choose to go to the observation deck either during the day or when it is already dark. This building offers a 360-degree view of the city of Osaka. You can take the elevator for free and not go past the ticket counter, but the price is only 1500 yen. An alternative if the line is too long: go ride the red Ferris wheel visible from the station.

At 634 meters, the Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in Japan. Located in the Asakusa neighborhood, it offers a completely different view than the Tokyo Tower. The slender shape of the building itself is also interesting. An alternative in the area is to go for a drink at the top of the Asahi beer headquarters, next to the golden flame, for a very nice and more affordable view of the city.

Tokyo Tower is very recognizable because it looks like its big sister in Paris. It is barely taller. White and red, you sometimes mistake it for a crane (lol). Along with the Sky Tree, it is one of the two most interesting viewpoints to admire Tokyo from above. You can also just go see it at night, in the Minato neighborhood, without necessarily going up. Admission is paid and the cost varies depending on the floor.

As the tallest tower in Japan, the Tokyo Skytree contains a whole world all its own. Futuristic Japan reveals its wonders with this very recognizable architecture. Its impressive observation deck makes you realize the sheer scale of Tokyo. Thanks to its height, you get an incredible view. You will also find shops there, including one dedicated to Studio Ghibli.

Burj Khalifa is to Dubai what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, a symbol, a landmark you can see from far away. After waiting in line for an hour, you can go up to the observation deck which offers a spectacular view of the city. And to think that you are nowhere near the top of the tower. What must it be like to see the view from the top floor!
