Overview
Opened in 2012, the 634m Tokyo Skytree is the world's second-tallest free-standing tower. Two observation decks at 350m (Tembo Deck) and 450m (Tembo Galleria) offer 360-degree panoramas of all Tokyo, with Mt. Fuji visible on clear days. The base contains Tokyo Skytree Town with an aquarium, planetarium, and shopping mall. Spectacular lighting illuminates the tower at night, making it a great view from Asakusa and Ueno too. Tembo Deck admission JPY 2,100; combined ticket JPY 3,100. Directly at Tokyo Skytree Station (Tobu Skytree Line).
Opening Hours
