If you enjoy walking as much as I do the answer is yes. I want to warn you taking the ropeway up to the observation deck is good to view Tokyo Bay.. Seeing the giant buddha at the bottom you will walk down a lot of steps. This is not for the faint at heart after you visit take pictures remember you have to walk back up to the observation that a lot of steps to take the rope car back down. There is a parking area close to the big buddha easy to walk to. The downside of this to get to the observation deck you have to climb up a lot of steps and walk back down to your car. Or you can drive to the rope car talk the ride up. There are vending machines in front to the side of the big buddha where you can buy water. It would be a good ideal to wear some comfortable shoes and cloths. One important thing enjoy yourself take lots of pictures. :-)
