Tokyo Tower is one of the city’s must-see landmarks, but did you know that its 3rd, 4th and 5th floors are home to one of the Japan’s largest VR and AR digital theme parks? When planning your visit to this beloved attraction, be sure to set aside a few hours to experience the thrilling world of RED° TOKYO TOWER.

RED° TOKYO TOWER: A Cutting-Edge VR Experience that Keeps You Moving!

RED° TOKYO TOWER is one of Japan’s largest digital amusement parks, offering visitors a cutting-edge entertainment experience right in the heart of Tokyo. Located within Tokyo Tower, this innovative space spans 5600㎡ through multiple floors and features over 20 state-of-the-art attractions, blending VR and AR gaming technology.

Whether you’re a gamer, a thrill-seeker, or simply in search of a unique experience in Tokyo, this one-of-a-kind destination has something for everyone, including thrilling virtual reality adventures and many more. While certain attractions might have age or height restrictions, most are family-friendly and accessible to children, making it an excellent destination for visitors of all ages to enjoy together.

RED° TOKYO TOWER 3F: The Gateway to Adventure

The 3rd floor, INSPIRATION ZONE, serves as the gateway to RED° TOKYO TOWER and boasts a variety of thrilling attractions that combine advanced technology with immersive gameplay. One popular attraction is the RFIGHT (Robot Fight) game, where players step into robotic suits and challenge opponents in boxing matches enhanced by special moves and stat boosts based on audience support.

RED° TOKYO TOWER 4F: High-Energy Action and Adventure

The 4th floor is home to the ATTRACTION ZONE, where physical movement takes center stage. Many of the games here involve running, jumping, and even climbing, so visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.

💡Note: Several attractions require players to remove their shoes, so wearing socks is required. Additionally, high heels are prohibited on many attractions throughout the facility. Be sure to plan your outfit accordingly!

The VR rides, including Flying Cinema and Space Shuttle 2.0 are not to be missed. Flying Cinema is a VR roller coaster designed to simulate the sensation of flying—or free-falling—through the sky, complete with the ability to rotate 360 degrees. Riders can choose from a variety of scenarios, each offering different levels of intensity, ensuring there's an option to suit every thrill-seeker's preferences.

Space Shuttle 2.0 utilizes eight special effects—such as sound, wind, and vibrations—to deliver an immersive experience as riders to embark on a high-speed journey through various scenarios. One popular option, “roller coaster,” showcases impressive visual and sensory effects. The combination of these elements delivers a remarkably realistic experience, tricking the brain into feeling the thrill of a real roller coaster ride.

Fans of racing games will enjoy Flash Racing, a high-energy game where players compete against NPCs on a tricky course filled with traps and power-ups designed to knock competitors—or even the player themselves off course. The game’s dynamic design encourages players to tap into their competitive streak as they navigate the terrain in pursuit of victory.

Another standout game in this zone is DARUMANSAN GA KORONDA, the Japanese version of "Red Light, Green Light." Inspired by the hit Netflix series Squid Game, this thrilling challenge requires players to move toward a Young-hee-like doll while her back is turned. Motion sensors track every movement, and if you’re caught moving when she turns around, the game is over. To make the game even more challenging, players must navigate obstacles like ropes, stepping over or ducking under them to reach the goal. Many find the challenge thrilling—the doll’s tougher than she looks!

Other standout attractions on the 4th floor include CYBER BOCCIA S, the AR sport HADO (featuring a staff member who happens to be an AR HADO world champion!), a spine-chilling haunted house VR HORROR that promises to deliver thrills and chills, and VALOJUMP, a unique game that combines trampolining with video gaming for an exciting and dynamic experience. With so many activities to choose from, deciding where to start is a fun challenge in itself!

RED° TOKYO TOWER 5F: A Unique Mix of Games and Leisure

The 5th floor, ULTIMATE ZONE, provides a diverse range of experiences, making it an ideal spot to relax and recharge. For example, RED° E-MOTOR features state-of-the-art virtual e-motorsports, including racing simulators used by professional drivers for training. Since the simulators require same-day reservations, visitors are encouraged to book their slots early to secure their experience.

Beyond physically challenging activities, RED° TOKYO TOWER also offers opportunities to engage the mind through “mind sports.” For those who enjoy card games, RED° ROYALE is a poker room where visitors can test their skills in a game of Texas Hold’em.

For a more laid-back experience, RED° BODOGE (pronounced boh-doh-geh) offers a selection of Japanese and international board games, along with plenty of tables for visitors to sit down and enjoy a game. Guests are welcome to bring food and drinks purchased from RED° STAND, a café/bar conveniently located on the same floor, to enhance their gaming experience.

Exploring a bustling city like Tokyo is an incredible adventure, but finding a spot to take a break without returning to your hotel or settling for a coffee shop can be challenging. RED° BODOGE provides a perfect solution, offering a space to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time with friends or family over a game or two before continuing your journey through the city.
