Tokyo Skytree

Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in the world and a must-visit in Tokyo. There was a bit of a queue to get in, but the staff were friendly and helpful, so the wait wasn’t too bad. The view from the top is amazing — you can see all over Tokyo, and if the weather is clear, you might even spot Mount Fuji. It’s really impressive! The location is very convenient, with many train lines nearby, so it’s easy to get there from anywhere in the city. On the lower floors, there are lots of shops and restaurants. It’s quite busy, but fun for shopping and trying local food. Overall, it was a great experience. I’d recommend going early to avoid the crowds. Would love to visit again!

We decided to head out to visit the Tokyo Skytree to compare the views with those from Tokyo Tower, which we had visited earlier in our trip. After a quick and easy train ride, we arrived and had dinner in the surrounding complex before heading toward the ticket counter. Unfortunately, we arrived just a few minutes before closing and missed the last admission time, so we weren’t able to go up the tower that night. Even though we didn’t make it to the top, the visit still turned out to be worthwhile. The tower itself is massive and really impressive, especially at night. It was fully illuminated and the colours changed periodically, cycling through purples, blues, reds, and a stunning rainbow display at one point. I was able to get several photos from different angles on our walk up to the tower, and it still felt like a great experience even without going to the top. The whole area around the base is clean, modern, and easy to navigate, with shopping, restaurants, and a very open plaza for photos. I’ll definitely come back earlier next time to enjoy the observation deck and views over Tokyo, but even just seeing the tower up close was worth the visit.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was not did appointing. There were amazing views. So many picture opportunities. The wait time was not bad at all. Information provided on all levels visited. The gift shop had many fun souvenirs to choose from. We had such a great time learning about the building itself and structure. Can’t wait to see this place light up in the evening. Great place to visit when touring Tokyo.

Great place for family with members of all ages to get a bird’s eye view of the city. Easy to access via subway. Took about 30 minutes to get day of tickets and about another 30 minutes to access the attraction. Recommend getting tickets in advance. Place was very crowded and had to wait in line to get on and off the elevators, as well as, change from 350m to 450m viewing areas. Worth the wait. Has food, souvenirs, and kids games.

An iconic Tokyo landmark offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, especially stunning at sunset or night. The observation decks are well-organized with plenty of photo spots. There’s also great shopping and dining in the complex below. A must-visit for first-time visitors, though the ticket can be a bit pricey. Tip: Book in advance to avoid long queues.

Such a nice visit. We bought tickets the same day, it was fast and easy. Yes, it gets crowded so is better if you get early (if you don’t mind going at anytime) you have plenty of places where you can grab something to it before you start your visit, even upstairs you can get a drink, send postcards to your love ones and take the typical tourist family picture.

Beautiful view. Too many tickets sold so there are hours of standing in line to move between observation decks and to get back down. Plan on a three hour trip from bottom return. Also, the Toy Story "exhibit" going on takes away from the experience as it is loud and creates light pollution. Overall, the experience was good as seeing the city from that height is truly impressive

Breathtaking night view of Tokyo from the top! 🌃✨ The city lights stretch endlessly, creating a magical atmosphere. The elevator ride itself was smooth and fast. It can get a bit crowded at times, but it’s worth the experience. Ideal for photography lovers and couples. The souvenir shops and cafes below are nice too. Definitely one of Tokyo’s top highlights!

Staff: They all were nice and helpful. Each part of the experience the staff made you feel welcome and appreciated. Everyone is so polite and attentive to all visitors. Experience: This is a really cool spot to visit as the tallest tower in Japan and the 3rd tallest building in the world per Wikipedia at 2,080 feet high. There are 2 different vantage points that you can visit. The first is the Tembo deck which is really not a deck so you won't be outside. This offers a stunning view of 360 degrees all around. Here you will find s cool gift shop and a small glass floor area. The second area is called the Tembo Galleria which offers a cool walking experience as you walk up a pathway as it goes higher and higher. The view is stunning here but I don't know if I call tell the difference in the two. Value: The price was around $80 usd which is on par with say the Seattle Space needle. Overall: I would recommend visiting for sure to see one of the tallest structures on earth and enjoy beautiful views. If I had to compare this to the Seattle Space Needle which is significantly smaller, I would say the Space Needle is better (see review).

Like any tourist attraction, there are quite a bit of people however, the overall experience was good. I wish that they would turn down the inside lights during the night view, as there is a bit of a reflection when trying to capture the city. The view is quite amazing. This is the world's tallest building.

Besides getting a scenic view of Tokyo at the observation deck, there was nothing else much to do. Since this is a tourist attraction, this place was super packed when I was there. Took a while to get up to the deck and back down. There was quite a bit of wait both times. Once you get to the top floor, be prepared for the huge crowds. The views were cool but not spectacular or worth it. Because it was a bit cloudy that evening, we were not able to see Mt Fuji. That was a bummer. If you have time to spare, you can check this place out. If not, I'll say to skip it.

Good to see at least one other person write a review for last night. Even with the signs calling out elevator maintenance, the wait times are nowhere near what's advertised both verbally by staff or via the individual wait time signs (on a tablet) the staff hold up. In short, last night was a dangerous situation given the density of the long queues, lack of command by the staff (most are quite young or lack the ability to control a crowd). Granted, this is Japan and one of the objectively best places in the world for this sort of chaos-inducing situation, but waiting in line for hours like this just to exit should have been dealt with via a much lower limit on tickets, a departure time reservation window scheme (sounds horrible, but is superior to the situation last night) so folks - especially older folks, smaller people, or kids - could wait elsewhere in reasonable safety & comfort and not have to pushed around. On the pictures front, as has been true from Day One - not much to see from this location. More importantly, the way the glass windows are constructed, it is going to be difficult to get a clear shot. Structural members are way too close together (for photography) and the distance to glass is going to be challenging for those who don't know how to compensate.

We came to Tokyo Skytree in March. The last time we came to visit Japan was about ten years ago and it wasn't as crowded. We didn't really do any reservations for Tokyo Skytree last time but soon realized this time that it was needed. We had our whole day planned and we were gonna go to Skytree after. We walk to Skytree and the sign says that all the tickets have been sold out for the day. So we go online to make a reservation for another day. The bookings go by really fast. The earliest time we could get was 8:00pm. We got to Skytree and it's a pretty far walk from the road to the main entrance. But once you show them your reservation time, they let you right in. There's a lot of people with that time so there are a few elevators that ride to the two levels. You can ride to the very top for an extra fee or a few levels below. When we bought our tickets, the very top level tickets were sold out. It was okay though, it was still such a beautiful sight to see Tokyo from that height. It was a clear night and we could see Mount Fuji out in the distance. They even had a small area where it was a glass flooring so you can see way down. Overall it was a nice view but next time we gotta be sure to book early.

The Tokyo Skytree is one of the tallest buildings in Japan, so we purchased tickets online and advanced to make sure we have a chance to visit. We were hopeful that it was going to be a clear day that we could actually see Mount Fuji. Unfortunately the day was pretty hazy, but we trecked out the Skytree from our hotel. Once we arrived, we were told to check in on the machine to get our tickets. It couldn't find our reservation. When my husband was making reservations, the Skytree website froze several times after he had inputted all our information so somehow the reservation was for Saturday, instead of Friday. We were sent to customer service, and told that we could exchange our tickets for tomorrow for today since we were already here and didn't want to return tomorrow. Once we were at the customer service desk, we were told that we had to cancel our reservation for tomorrow, but they still charge you 20% of the total ticket price. Then they told us we had to purchase tickets online again at the full amount plus an additional 30% since we are purchasing tickets for that day. It just seemed kind of odd that we couldn't just exchange them for the same cost since they were the same ticket, but apparently this is not the case. Since we would need to pay the full price plus an additional 50% to exchange the tickets and it was a hazy day with poor visibility, we decided it was not worth it.

The Tokyo Skytree is the tallest Tower in all Japan and the 3rd tallest tower in the entire world. Surrounding the Skytree is a multi-story mall with several shops and restaurants. My personal saying "If you need it, it's probably at Skytree!". Souvenirs for your loved ones back home, great food selections and shops that will have you drop! Oh, and there's the Skytree itself. Near the bus area, you may enter the ground floor of the Skytree where you may purchase tickets for the lift that takes you to the top! The view from the top is absolutely insane. It is a very picturesque scene from the top no matter what time of day and whatever side you are on. You can see this epic tower from mostly anywhere in Tokyo. Overall; I highly recommend checking this incredible infrastructure. Check out the shops and eat the food. You wont regret it!

Everyone said you need to come to SkyTree when you visit Tokyo and we did but it was kinda mid to be honest. Yes it's a great view but maybe I'm not really into sceric views. There are lots of shops and restaurants or food stalls but pretty much overpriced. We didn't stay for long.

Landmark in Tokyo, Japan... Sky Tree is the tallest broadcasting station in the world. Our tour guide pointed it out last night from our bus, but I was too far away from the window to see Sky Tree illuminated at night... shucks! Today, we could see it from the Asakusa Temple area! It's a cool landmark (2080 feature tall) that can be recognized from miles away!

Tokyo Skytree... Not my first visit though it still takes my breath away as it's just a beautiful sight you can help but glance and capture it with your phone though which ever angle you try nothing beats just looking at it from a distance. My first visit I had no idea what I was in for as the shopping here does get a bit claustrophobic as the Solamachi Shotengai Shopping area can get quite crowded so I'd head over to the second floor where it does open up a bit and so much to see as it's also a great place to shop for various omiyage to take home as they have an impressive amount of unique sweets along with a food court on the third floor and do suggest to visit their website as they have so much more shops though it's such a massive layout planning is highly recommended if you do decide to visit. You are able to purchase tickets in advance which I had no idea is possible and waited for such a long time wasting time in the queue was frustrating though the view is so worth the wait as one of my wish list is to see Mount Fuji though even on this clear day wasn't possible even with the assist of plaque placement...sigh! There are several entrance to Tokyo Skytree and Oshiage Station will pop up in the direction which is the one but there are several different entrance and seems that it's currently under construction for an improve experience which I'm looking forward to as this is my third visit and have yet to full experience to shop and discovery what it has to offer. どうもありがとうございます！

If you haven't been here, then you definitely should. I would definitely buy ticket online and save you some time waiting. You will still wait for a lil bit at the ticket office but it was very efficient. The view was magnificent. I came in a rainy and cloudy day but it yielded a different vibe as Tokyo seemed endless as it expanded into the horizon and clouds. Breathe taking. I enjoyed it.

Yelp Review 2024 #5: Out of the observation decks in Tokyo, I can recommend this one especially if you want to avoid big crowds. I mean, there will still be a big crowd but it's not as bad as Shibuya Sky. Aside from the views, there's plenty to do and see here. This is the tallest tower in Japan. The observation deck isn't the highest but at the bottom is a shopping mall where you can shop and eat. You have the option to go your own merry way or join a tour. I'm not good at participating in tour groups - I tend to zone out and wander off which is a waste of money and time. But for those of you that are auditory learners and enjoy getting verbal information, you have that option. The elevator is quick - your ears will pop. Tips: - The best time to visit is around sunset - you'll see Mt. Fuji when the setting sun casts a shadow and creates a nice contrast. - book your ticket online in advance because they can sell out

No trip to Tokyo is complete without a visit to the Skytree. Its close to Asukusa and the Meiji Shrine so you can do it on that day of your trip. Incredible views! You can see Mt. Fuji! Secret Tip: If you go up an hour before sunset and stay till dark you will get 2 totally different views and impressions. Like going up twice. Allow about 3 hours or more to get there-up-hang out a bit-and down. There are a lot of restaurants in the Tower at the base too.

I would recommend buying tickets in advance but you will need to specify a date and a time for your visit. You can go to two different platforms, the higher the better! The views were exceptional. It was really nice having snacks available at the top. Staff were great at navigating so many people while remaining friendly and professional.

Japan's landmarks like this tower are gussied up like destination points: restaurants, gift shops, and THIS Tower has a friggin' **aquarium**! Boy, am I glad I said "Sure" when the group wanted to visit. I was not initially enthused because in other places I've been, the experience has been a little run of the mill: sometimes there's a tour, a dusty gift shop, or just nothing but a gasp-worthy climb which ends in an "amazing view". I had zero interest in climbing to the top, but there are plenty of sights and shops to keep me entertained while the gang makes the shockingly high trek to the top. I'd recommend this for a group with mixed goals: let the shoppers shop, the sea life people enjoy and the stair climbers make their step goals. Meet at the bottom in two or three hours for a tasty snack break. Nice!

Tokyo SkyTree is one of those places that are on everyone's list of sights and for good reason. Hours are 10 am to 9 pm with last admission at 8 pm. You can either purchase tickets for the deck only or the deck and galleria combo. Pretty much all large metro cities have an observation deck to go up and view the city. I didn't have time to go up but the view from the ground is a view in itself. Height of 2,080 feet and built in 2012.

There are really no words to describe Tokyo Skytree. It's a tourist attraction, a shopping mall, restaurants galore and a lot of specialty shops. The most spectacular view of the city. On a clear day I am told you can see Mount Fuji. The city goes on and on and on. If you stick with the escalators route you won't get lost. Found Kua Aina Hawaiian Burger and Cafe on the bottom floor, no Sprite.... the line was around the building, but there was a Maui Strong collection box I got to see Monchhichi who is celebrating "50" Anniversary Plus there was a Halloween parade with all the children dressed up. Great experience

A lot of fun stuff here. It's not just the tallest edifice in Tokyo. This is like an indoor mall combined with a pay per view if you decide to ascend. Besides Pokémon center, there is also a Konica planetarium here, part of a chain of them, with a store out front selling unique goods (previously reviewed the Tokyo location with a cafe) The gifts are so cute and unique. I got the gashapon Tokyo towers surprise souvenir and one ended up being the Skytree :) super happy (500 yen) Not a huge fan of the mascot, same for Tokyo tower, it's a bit weird looking but all the other gifts are nice. View is spectacular even if you don't go all the way up

When we first got to our hotel in Tokyo (Ryugoku area), my husband automatically noticed this tall structure that almost looks like the Eiffel Tower. Tickets are 2100-3100 yen for same day tickets depending on which tower you purchase. It is the tallest structure in Japan and the 2nd tallest in the world. It has a large shopping complex and places to eat inside. It's huge! We came at night time and it was beautiful! The panoramic view from all around was breathtaking especially at night. We took a lot of pictures including a professional one which is free unless you decide to purchase one with a border/frame. And yes, we did purchase it. It was 1500 yen. I would recommend to put this on your list of things to visit when in Tokyo. It's well designed and there's a lot of shops and restaurants that you can go to while waiting for your time slot to go up to the tower. It was packed when we went and I would think it's always packed but they are so organized, it's so worth it. We had a lot of fun here. Fantastic 360 views of Tokyo!

What an adventure!! I booked this a couple of days before we arrived in Japan and it was worth it!! Advance tickets are cheaper so I suggest getting them in before you go. I also suggest doing the bundle for both floors. It was so worth it!! We got there an hour before sunset and it was beautiful. We watched the sunset from the top deck, which set right behind Fuji-San. Also - BRING your notebook!! We forgot ours and I was so upset! They had another Stamp event going on so we were still able to get the stamp for Sky Tree. Overall - I highly recommend doing this experience!

Service un comparable and food was surprisingly delicious with care taken for the presentation

Disorganized and the elevators were super slow. The staff stated it was going to take an additional 35 minutes to get onto the elevators. I had already been waiting for over an hour. Ridiculous! Although the building might be pretty, I left before ever going up. I was tired and I really didn't care at that point. They got my $3100 yen. I was sick of standing for so long and I couldn't stand the hectic crowded areas.

Too many people for elevator capacity means maneuvering thru 2 sets of packed crowds jostling to sqeeze into a chaotic queue for exit elevators. I was shoved and had to hold on to family members to avoid getting split up and lost from one another. No accommodations for the elderly or strollers. The sweaty chaos was not worth the view in the 3 hours spent trying to exit.

Incredible views! Definitely worth booking the tickets early and buying the package that allows to go to the top floor. Gets busy but it's not too bad with timed reservations. Highly recommend this observation deck! A bit far from everything else in Tokyo but it's worth it to make the time.

As expected. Stunning sweeping views of the city 360 degrees they also have levels and you can go further up to the top for an extra cost. They also have a glass floor that's lackluster, but unique. Gorgeous views

My kids thoroughly enjoyed it! Talking about going to new heights! Made our way across the bay, to Tokyo Skytree. 2 ways - you can purchase early and redeem your tickets there or buy day of; it doesn't seem to sell out . We went on a weekday and lots of people were buying tickets. The line moves quick - staff are friendly and helpful. We just had to scan our QR codes to get our physical tickets for entry. There are 2 levels, 350 and then the 450, very high altitude - and you might feel it a bit. Beautiful view of the city... have a feeling the night view might be better. Take as many pictures and video as you want at the 450 level, you only get to go up once. Once done, head to the mall for a yummy lunch! Lots of spots to eat at, including the Kirby Cafe! But we couldn't get a spot. We went to DTF instead and had a yummy lunch, then ice cream and strawberry mochi! PSA: there's an awesome Ghibli store there! Don't forget to stop by!

Tokyo Skytree is one of those places one must visit while in Tokyo. Essentially the Skytree is built around a mall and it took us only 15 minutes on the Asakusa line from downtown to get to. To get tickets we entered building and got into the first line to buy tickets from their Kiosks. This took about 20 minutes and we had to specify a later time to use tickets. So after 20 minutes we purchased tickets to go up Skytree in an hour. Then we reentered the Skytree and went through a different line to the elevators.. There were lots of lines, lines to elevators, lines to get snacks, lines to upper viewing deck elevator, lines to get to lines to leave. My advice is go on weekday, maybe just go to first viewing deck. Also the night view of the Skytree was our highlight so consider skipping going up the Skytree and enjoying the surrounding area and take night pictures of it. In my opinion the Skytree is best visited before sunset so you have the opportunity to take day and night pictures.

Tokyo Skytree is one of those places one must visit while in Tokyo. The Skytree is built around a mall. To get tickets, we entered the building and got into the first line to buy tickets from their kiosks. This took about ten minutes, and we had to specify a later time to use tickets. So, after ten minutes, we purchased tickets to Skytree that were scheduled in thirty minutes. Then, we reentered the Skytree and went through a different line to the elevators. There were many lines: lines to elevators, lines to get snacks, lines to the upper viewing deck elevator, lines to get to lines to leave. I suggest going on a weekday to the first viewing deck. After you check the 360-degree view of Tokyo, go down to their lower levels for food and tons of shopping! You will be walking thousands of steps while you're here.

A practical tip for tourists: if you're planning to visit both Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree, hit them up on the same day. We didn't know to do this beforehand, but we saw Skytree from Sensoji when we were roasting in the September heat and wondering what preferably indoor thing we should do next. It turns out that the easiest way to get to Skytree is through the Tobu Skytree Line, which starts at Asakusa Station then makes its first stop right at Tokyo Skytree. Most routes from the tourist parts of the city seem to require a switch to this line at Asakusa. All I knew going into Tokyo Skytree was that it was a tall building with a viewing platform. Now that I've been, I'd say that still pretty much sums it up, but my, what a remarkably tall building. My husband is really into skyscrapers and city views, so we end up going to the highest available viewpoint in most cities we visit, and I think this was the highest that either of us has ever been. We hadn't purchased tickets in advance, but we were able to get them on the spot after waiting in a long but reasonably fast-moving line. It cost ¥2,100 per ticket to go to the Tembo Deck at 350 meters, and ¥3,100 per ticket to go to the Tembo Galleria at 450 meters. We'd come from across the world and wanted to go up high, so the combo ticket was kind of a no-brainer. There were four elevators and these were almost their own attraction. They moved ultra fast without being even a little bit disorienting, and were also beautifully designed, each one modeled after a different season. I think we took autumn up and winter down. There were lines for the elevators on either end, but these moved quickly, too. For how popular Skytree seems to be, it was really never a pain in the ass. Maybe it's because we went on a Monday afternoon. The Tembo Deck was amazing, and for what it's worth, maybe better for photos than the Galleria, with more unobstructed views. We walked around and took in all of Tokyo laid out before us like the inside of a clock. We could see our hotel and various places we'd visited and planned to visit. There was also a glass floor built into part of the observation deck, and my heartbeat went up standing on those clear panes and looking down. We took one more elevator to get up to the Tembo Galleria. This was worth the extra ¥1,000 each, and not just to say we went 100 meters higher. The views were breathtaking and there were fewer people looping around. There were also plenty of photo ops, with cutesy Insta-friendly backdrops interspersed throughout both observatories. There were also Skytree-specific characters that showed up on all kinds of signage and merchandise, and I think one of them was there on the Tembo Deck taking pictures with visitors like a theme park mascot. We skipped the gift shop, but we did take a breather at the Skytree Cafe on Floor 350. This was a bare-bones cafe with no seating, but we did get to lean against a counter with a bird's-eye view of Tokyo. We noticed the Skytree Restaurant on Floor 345 on our way out and would probably have gone there if we'd known about it, but this didn't feel like any great loss. We went down and kicked around Solamachi for a while before leaving Skytree for our various ground-level activities. We enjoyed our journey to the top of the tower. It was fun with minimal hassle, and honestly astonishing.

This place is packed no matter what time you come here. The view is amazing especially at night. But so many people makes it a bit annoying though. I'd suggest not coming here during weekend or holiday. Even weekdays is so pack that is hard to get to the view so.... Good luck if you come here on wee.

Have you ever been to the Willis Tower in Chicago? Or how about the Mahanakhon Tower in Bangkok? Well in Tokyo, they have the Tokyo Skytree! Here's another very popular tourist attraction all visitors must check out when in the area! It was about a 25 minute leisure walk over the Sumida River from Asakusa Temple to get there. On a nice clear day is best to make an attempt to get a 360 degree panoramic view of the entire Tokyo Metro! Thank God the weather has been nice. Skip the Combo Ticket and get the Tembo Deck Ticket to go up 350 floors. Most people skipped the higher view as I could tell from the crowds of people standing in line. Once up there, you'll have enough time to take pictures and see how massive the city is! Talk about spectacular! There was also an area where lots of people were attaching ribbons all written in Japanese. I noticed that mostly all the ribbons had 7 Men written on them. I had to Google and use my iPhone Translator App to figure this out they're a very popular J-Pop group! A lot of their fans were wishing then success for this boy band! Neither me, my husband or friends ordered anything from the Cafe, Bar or bought any souvenirs as we all know it's just a tourist trap, lol. But it was well worth the visit. There is also a brand new JR Tokyo Skytree Station that was built underneath to connect you back to the Ginza Line to transfer to the rest of the city!

I had the incredible opportunity to visit Tokyo SkyTree during the day, and let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations. In fact, we ended up staying long enough to witness the breathtaking sunset from this architectural marvel. Trust me when I say, it's an experience you don't want to miss. We decided to splurge on the Tembo Galleria ticket, which grants access to the highest point of the tower, and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Not only is this observation deck absolutely amazing, but it also holds the title of being the tallest in the world. From up there, the panoramic views of Tokyo are simply mind-blowing. You can even catch a glimpse of the majestic Mt. Fuji! It's a photographer's dream come true. Despite being busy and crowded, the atmosphere never felt overwhelming. We were still able to capture stunning shots of the skyline and even take pictures of ourselves within the tower. The design and layout of the observation deck allow for ample space and great vantage points, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the view to the fullest. While exploring Tokyo SkyTree, we discovered a small but delightful souvenir store, a cozy café, and even a bar! These additional amenities provided a pleasant touch to our visit, allowing us to take a break, indulge in some refreshments, and find unique mementos to commemorate our time at this iconic location. Also, if it is your birthday, be sure to mention this if you want a free souvenir sticker! One of the highlights of the SkyTree experience was the opportunity to stand on the glass floor in certain spots, where you can look straight down. It's an exhilarating experience that adds an extra thrill to the visit. For those who dare, it's a chance to see the world beneath your feet and appreciate the architectural ingenuity that went into creating this magnificent man-made wonder. All in all, Tokyo SkyTree left a lasting impression on us. Whether you're a tourist visiting Japan or a local resident, I highly recommend making a trip to this extraordinary landmark. The awe-inspiring views, excellent facilities, and overall experience make it an absolute must-visit destination. Tokyo SkyTree truly stands as a testament to human achievement and is an unforgettable addition to any itinerary.

The food was amazing this was my first time in Tokyo I really enjoyed the food and how nice the people were at the restaurants

Recommend only on a mostly clear sunny day so you can take full advantage of the entire panoramic views. Be sure to reserve your tickets ahead of time to avoid the long lines. Good family acitivity but was a holiday so super croweded on a weather perfect day. Decent food and drink options on the observation decks.

It is definitely one of the most popular tourist spots in Tokyo. The location is just a stone's throw away from Asakusa! Even when seen from a distance, its presence is outstanding. Tokyo Sky Tree is filled with tourists from all over the world, and many different languages are spoken. When you take the elevator to the observation deck, you will be able to see Tokyo in 360 degrees. I was happy to be able to see Tokyo from the Tokyo Sky Tree for the first time in a long time. Although I was born and raised in Japan and now live in Hawaii, I was reminded once again of the beauty of Japan. There is an acrylic panel in part of the observation area where you can see the ground. If you look down from here, you will realize that Tokyo Sky Tree is a very tall building! It was the first time in a long time that I was able to enjoy Tokyo to the fullest. I hope to visit again next time (currently Covid-19 ).

There is a lot of shopping here! Many floors to explore. This place is a great place/area to shop, eat, and site see. You can pay an admission to tour the top of the Skytree.

The Tokyo Skytree is a must when visiting Tokyo. It is akin to going up to the World Trade or Empire State Building as it provides a heavenly view of the entire iconic city. On a good day you can even see Mount Fuji, though it depends on the day, it's hit and miss. You'll be able to see the famous Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, which is nearby, as well as Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace and even Tokyo Disneyland, though specific rides are too distant to make out with the naked eye. Getting there from Asakusa is easy; using the Tobu Skytree line it takes just five minutes, though on a nice day I'd recommend walking along the Sumida Riverwalk which is beautiful and affords views of a lot of the iconic scenery. Accessibility to the top is very easy with a series of escalators to the ticket booth. Prices are very reasonable to both observatories. You pay a little more for the higher one, about a hundred meters higher, and it's worth it. If you don't purchase a ticket for the higher viewing point and change your mind there is a kiosk at the first one to purchase it. You are able to stay as long as you want, no one is rushing you, so enjoy the views. There's a nice restaurant on the first viewing deck to enjoy a meal, snack or drink and take in the breathtaking views, though I recommend going to the shopping mall below to the food hall that has great, reasonably priced options, such as ramen and udon. Everything at Skytree, shopping and eating venues are well-maintained and staffed by courteous and helpful staff. No trip to Tokyo is complete without enjoining the views from Tokyo Skytree!

Was here for the 2022 New Year's holiday time, when the Demon Slayer exhibit was all set up. I've been to a lot of sky views in Tokyo, and I would say that if you can only choose to visit one, I would pass on Sky Tree. It's cool to visit to just tell people you went, and there's a lot of shopping and food around Sky Tree (such as the Kirby Cafe), but there are a lot of tourists as well and you can only see the view through glass instead of open air. It's pretty expensive, too. I'm sure you can imagine how costly it can become for a group or a family. This is a good addition to your afternoon plans if you are going to Sensoji in the morning (from where Skytree Tower is also visible). Overall it was a good experience, but I wouldn't go again unless a friend or family member really wanted to go.

We came here at 7pm for the top floor view, everything went as expected until we tried to leave. The wait to get out was an hour long because they only have two elevators and there were ALOT of people. Very poorly run and not a great experience. There are plenty of places in the city to get a view and not get stuck in line.

The views are amazing if you can manage to get to the glass and actually see them. They let too many people in and it's way over crowded to move around and see anything. It was nothing but waiting in line. Me to go up, line to get a photo spot/view at the windows, line to go up to the galleria deck, line to get back out. It's all poorly laid out and managed and it made for a miserable experience. I had a combo ticket and didn't even bother trying to go to the galleria deck because the line wrapped all the way around the tembo and wasn't moving. Tokyo Tower and Shibuya Sky had lines too but things were organized and people made it in and out smoothly.

The views from the top are great! But, I would personally go for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. It's free versus the $30 for this. And the wait is much shorter. I was just as happy with the view from there!

Great place to visit to see an overarching view of Tokyo! I will say though this place is very touristy and kind of underwhelming. The picture opportunities aren't great because of the glare from the glass. Also, the options for food either require reservation in advance or are really crowded. I've been to many of these tourist tower viewing spots in other places I've traveled so that's probably why it was underwhelming for me. If you do decide to come here though the staff is very friendly and there's even a nice little gift shop!

This is the tallest structure in all of Japan and worth the paid elevator ride to the top. The views are amazing from either the main deck 2/3 of the way up or the top deck, if you pay a bit more. There is a cafe on the main deck and we spent an hour at sunset sipping a beer and seeing the differing day and night views. Both are terrific. The top deck is certainly less crowded and window space is easier to attain. They also offer private tours, outdoor deck tours and there is a restaurant, too. This is a very touristy thing to do and, yes, it's worth it.

Really cool place that you should definitely go if you're in Tokyo. The Sky tree is full of shops and restaurants. There is a ridiculously expensive restaurant at the top. You get a free observatory ticket if you eat there. I highly recommend making the time to come. It's kind of like a giant mall but better.

Skytree is such a cool place to hang out, gosh. I was lucky enough to be staying nearby for my last 2 days in Tokyo, so I spent quite a lot of time inside! There's a TON of shopping and stuff to see inside and I didn't get to see everything even though I spent like a day and a half there! If you don't want to spend $30 or whatever for the top view (which is admittedly superior for sure), you can go to the restaurants on the 30th or 31st floors to see a pretty wicked view there too. It was overcast on the day I was there so I didn't see the point in blowing money on the view. You can also go outside to the dome garden area from like the 10th? floor which was beautiful, relaxing and EMPTY compared to the rest of the Skytree which was packed full of people and strollers. I went during GW so it was super packed! It was so nice to catch a peaceful breather. Make sure to check out the cool technology stuff up on the 8th? floor like a sword made from a meteorite, a satellite, a rescue robot and a fun little interactive video exhibit. There's also a Postal Museum up there too, which I didn't have time to check out but the entrance fee was pretty cheap. I might make it a tradition to stay near here for the end of all of my trips to Tokyo - easy access to Narita, lots of convenient services inside (package sending, luggage keeping, I bought eyeglasses within an hour @ Zoff...), freaking GREAT shopping and delicious food... there's not much the Skytree doesn't have! I'm looking forward to my next visit :)

Tokyo Skytree is a new and developing landmark in Tokyo and people love the comparison with Tokyo Tower. In my opinion, both Skytree and Tokyo tower are worth a visit since Skytree is an iconic building of new modern technology and Tokyo Tower is a symbol of the old days. The ticket is kind of pricy so we didn't visit the observatory level. There are also lots of trendy restaurants and gift shops of souvenir in the mall next to skytree.

Tokyo Skytree was another place that I really loved visiting while in Tokyo. It is the world's tallest tower at 634 meters and is truly a gorgeous sight to see. I loved how beautiful it looks during the evening. It is definitely a must photo opportunity while visiting. It's a lot of fun to visit here because they have so many restaurants and shops here. It is a haven for both foodies and shopping enthusiasts. It felt like they had something for everyone. There were speciality stores, character stores and even a Daiso here. I really enjoyed Tokyo Skytree and am so happy I got to visit this place.

The Skytree is hard to miss, as, obviously it dominates the city skyline visually - it's also hard to miss as an attraction for anyone visiting the city. I've visited both times I've traveled to Japan, once during the day and once in the evening. I'd recommend going up in the day, especially if it's clear as you're able to really appreciate the true size and scope of the city (and even see Fuji on a clear day!). It's about ~$30 for the combo ticket to visit both observation decks. So, definitely not cheap, but not crazy expensive either. If you're on a tight budget but still want to get some great views of the city, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku is free. At the top they have decent food and drink options as well as some other fun attractions to check out besides the view. There's a see through, glass bottom, a gift shop, and (at least when we visited) a Dragon Ball Z installation with original sketches and artwork and miscellaneous props. There's a lot to do in the area with a mall and an aquarium at the base of the tower. It's also only a short stroll to Asakusa and the Sensoji Temple. Between the Skytree and the surrounding attractions, you can easily spend a solid half day in the area.

I prefer the views from the bottom. I actually prefer to photograph the Skytree, rather than go to the top of it to photograph other things. My favourite view is from Jikken Bridge around golden hour when the tree lights up. I would suggest saving your money and going to the Tokyo Metro govt building if you want to see the city, for free.

So crowded. Hoards of people waiting in the queue to get in. Then they pack you into the elevator only to be let out with more people lol. Everyone is trying to get pics but its too crowded and you can't really enjoy the view leisurely. For a fee you can write a wish on a ribbon and tie it to the wish exhibit. It also comes with a souvenir pin.
