It's probably not as famous as the Eiffel Tower but still worth a detour, if you happen to be in Tokyo.
And I mean detour cos it's not exactly near any major shopping or sightseeing place. I like the night view. Walk around the observation tower and you should be able to see the Imperial Palace, Shinjuku, Yokohama etc. depending on the direction you're facing.
Restaurants and souvenir shops are located on the lower floors. There's this interesting curry rice restaurant, name's Tokyo Curry Lab. What's on the menu is slightly different from the 'traditional' Japanese curry, and it's nice. I'm not sure about the other flavors but I'd recommend the bitter beef curry and spicy pork curry. After the meal they serve you a yummy shot of yogurt.
What's most interesting to me was the paper tablecloth that looked like a map from Pirates of the Carribean. It's educational e.g. did you know that curry increases blood flow to the brain? And how to remove curry stains... :)
