How to plan

Your situation Suggestion
Visiting in the daytime and wanting to spend less Garden entry is free; if you want the observation tower, buy the Sea Candle set
Wanting to stay into the evening Check for an event that day; if there is one, a “+ Night” ticket avoids the additional exit fee after 17:00
Walking is difficult All 3 escalator sections cost 500 yen; the official page does not list regular individual-section prices
