* Very mundane film sighting: The tower can be seen in the background of a scene in the [[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]] movie ''[[You Only Live Twice (Film)|You Only Live Twice]]'' set in Japan, when a helicopter uses a huge electromagnet to pick up a car full of [[Evil Minions]] that are chasing Bond.

** ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' reuses it. In Kabuto World, the Hikari Studios is placed right near the tower. Natsumi calls it "trendy". The tower is also used for the final battle. There is surprisingly little property damage.

*** ''Decade'' even lampshades the tower's prominence in ''Kabuto'': each of the AU worlds is represented in the photo studio by a backdrop that shows important elements from their source series. Kabuto's backdrop is Tokyo Tower with Tendou's skyward-pointing finger next to it.

** The movie ''Cho [[Kamen Rider Den O]]: Onigashima battleship'' has our heroes successfully fool the villains with a fake [[Tricked Out Time]] sequence, creating a fake skyline outside the DenLiner with Momotaros manning the fake Tokyo Tower (which he calls "MomoTower".)
