Sometimes your visit to a city or a country is very short and you don't want to waste your time finding your way around.
If Tokyo is part of your travel plans, Tokyo Metro does the legwork for you.
The Tokyo subway system offers 6 Sightseeing Plans, each with around 10 attractions, station to station all mapped out.
Option Number 1 is Must See Tokyo (below):
Each attraction comes with a short description and a photo as well as the line you must take and the corresponding stop and travel time to the next sight.
Here's what comes up for Tokyo Tower for example:
"At
333 meters tall, the steel structure of Tokyo Tower has spectacular
views from its observation deck, 150 meters above the city below. The
tower features several other attractions, including an aquarium.
Hibiya Line (H) 3 mins."
I also learned from today's expedition that Tokyo Tower (opened in 1958) is 13m taller at 333m than the Eiffel Tower.
