What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Skytree was a great experience with stunning views over the city. We went up to the observation deck and were amazed by how far we could see. The tower itself is impressive, and the whole area around it has shops and restaurants, which made it fun to explore. It wasn’t too crowded when we visited, and everything was organized and clean. The kids enjoyed the height and the glass floor section was exciting! A great spot for families or anyone wanting a breathtaking view of Tokyo. Definitely worth a visit.
A must-visit spot!
Breathtaking, unobstructed views over the vast Tokyo area — there’s so much to explore here. A few tips:
Try to go on a clear, sunny day for a chance to see Mount Fuji in the distance. There are very few places to sit, but you’ll find a few benches on levels 340 and 345 — nothing on 350. Definitely take the tour up to level 450. If you didn’t buy a combo ticket in advance, you can still purchase the upgrade at level 350.
Absolutely stunning! The views from the observation deck are breathtaking, offering a panoramic view of the entire city. The building itself is a marvel of modern architecture. There’s also a shopping mall and restaurants at the base, making it a fun place to visit even if you’re not planning to go up. It can get quite crowded, but it’s definitely worth the visit for the incredible view and the overall experience. Recommend to book a ticket 2-3 days before visit.
It can be a bit of a wait for the elevators. The views are sprawling and beautiful. I think that it would be more beautiful at dusk or evening. We were not able to spend very much time up here, but you would not need a ton of time at the top anyway. The glass floor was much less impressive than expected and not worth rushing down for.
It is amazing view but honestly not the best tower. I personally think Lotte Tower in Seoul was better in terms of experience. They are both tall and you see the city etc etc but 3500 for both levels at Skytree well it wasn’t really worth it and at that height the extra 100 meters didn’t feel like it made a difference for 1000 yen more. If you have time and cash then do it but I think the Tokyo observation or Shibuya is better. All of these are better than Tokyo Tower. Bought my tickets online the same day. Maybe I got lucky. Checked sunset is at 630 and bought the 530 time slots. Wasn’t too crowded getting there and they do move you pretty quickly. Getting out can be a long wait. Well over half an hour to leave because you have to wait in the same line with everyone from both levels. I did see people buy tickets at the counter that day. Also can’t bring large luggage. They have coin lockers.
