If you want the best views of the city, scaling Kyoto Tower is a must. From over 130-metres / 427-feet high, you can enjoy the cityscape from the observation deck, while the tower is also an indispensable landmark for navigating your way around the city. Built to resemble a torch, the tower has some quirky novelties, namely a bathhouse at the top. If you prefer to stay dry, consider checking out some of the latest Japanese video games at the arcade.
