Tokyo Skytree

Tokyo Skytree is a 634-meter broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, currently the tallest structure in Japan. Two observation decks (Tembo Deck at 350 m and Tembo Galleria at 450 m) give huge 360° views over the Tokyo metro area and, on clear days, as far as Mount Fuji. Plan around 1.5—2 hours for a standard visit.

• Timed or same-day ticket to the Tembo Deck (350 m); some tickets also include the higher Tembo Galleria (450 m).
• Access to indoor observation floors with floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass-floor section on the Tembo Deck and souvenir/photo spots.
• Use of high-speed elevators between the base and observation levels.

• All ages; good for first-timers, skyline nerds, couples and families.
• Mostly indoors and elevator-based, so weather-proof and generally friendly for most mobility levels (always check latest accessibility notes if needed).

• Arrive at Tokyo Skytree Town in Sumida and head to the Skytree entrance.
• Exchange or purchase your ticket, then take a high-speed elevator up to the Tembo Deck at 350 m.
• Walk slowly around the deck for 360° city views, hunting landmarks like Tokyo Tower, Asakusa and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.
• Try the glass-floor section if you like a little adrenaline.
• If your ticket includes it, continue up to the Tembo Galleria at 450 m for an even higher, gently sloped “skywalk” route before returning to the lower deck and then back to ground level.

• Tickets / price: regular same-day adult admission to the Tembo Deck (350 m) starts from around ¥2,100 on weekdays, with slightly higher prices on holidays and for combo tickets that include the Tembo Galleria. Youth and child tickets are cheaper, and prices may vary by date according to the official pricing calendar.
• Hours: observation decks typically operate from around 10:00 to 21:00, with last admission about 1 hour before closing. On some days, hours extend to around 22:00; always confirm the official calendar for your specific date.
• Entry is via timed or same-day tickets; during peak seasons and holidays you may face queues for both tickets and elevators.
• Standard security checks apply; large baggage and tripods may be restricted.

• Address: 1-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida-ku, Tokyo 131-0045, Japan, inside the Tokyo Skytree Town complex.
• Nearest stations: Tokyo Skytree Station (Tobu Skytree Line) and Oshiage (Skytree) Station on several subway lines.
• Easiest strategy is to book a dated ticket in advance, target late afternoon so you can see both daylight and night views, and build in time to explore the Solamachi shopping and dining area or Sumida Aquarium afterward.

Book a dated ticket starting from about ¥2,100 for the Tembo Deck, ride the elevator 350 m up, do a slow 360° lap (plus glass floor and maybe the 450 m Galleria), then drop back into Tokyo Skytree Town for food and shopping.
