Enjoyed the skytree. We went here even though it was cloudy on the day, from the outside you could see the bottom deck was below the cloud but the top deck was in the cloud so we just picked to go to the bottom deck. Inside there were also lots of signs warning about the low visibility which I thought was good. At the ticket counter they had a video preview of the current view also. We went on a weekday in April and don't have pre-booked tickets, stood in line for maybe a minute to get served, got tickets and went straight up. Maybe the fact that it was cloudy meant it was less busy but still super easy. The bottom floor was high enough, good views. Also liked where you could go down a level to see the clear glass bottom. Each of those two levels they have a photographer that will take a free picture. On the 350m deck they give out a free printout the size of half a credit card and on the 340m deck they take a photo of your group with your phone over the glass floor. They encourage you to buy the pictures printed out but not obligated to.
Tokyo Skytree is a must-visit attraction when in Tokyo! With a reasonable entry price, it offers breathtaking views of the city from above. The ticket purchasing process was seamless, thanks to the efficient automatic machines in the lobby. The ascent to the top was well-organized, with designated groups and time slots, preventing chaos.
While the viewing platform was fairly standard for a city tower, the experience was still unforgettable. The panoramic views of Tokyo's sprawling landscape were truly stunning. Tokyo Skytree is one of those iconic experiences you need to cross off your bucket list when visiting this vibrant city!
Tokyo Skytree is an absolute must-visit! The panoramic views from the observation decks are breathtaking, offering a stunning 360-degree look at Tokyo’s vast skyline. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance, which makes the experience even more magical.
The elevators are impressively fast, and the entire experience is smooth and well-organized. The glass floor section adds a thrilling touch, giving you a unique perspective of the city below.
Beyond the views, Skytree Town offers fantastic shopping, delicious restaurants, and even an aquarium, making it a great place to spend an entire afternoon. Whether you visit during the day for clear views or at night for dazzling city lights, Tokyo Skytree is an unforgettable highlight of any trip to Tokyo.
Visiting Tokyo Skytree was a cool and memorable experience. The sheer height alone gives you an unmatched view of the city, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you want to take in Tokyo’s skyline from above.
That said, I recommend going on a sunny, clear day — when I visited, it was cloudy and lightly raining, which made visibility a bit limited. It’s still worth it, but you’ll get the most out of the experience if the weather’s in your favor.
If you can, go at night as well — the city lights are incredible and give you a totally different perspective.
I opted to visit both observation decks, and I’d say it’s worth the extra cost if you want the full experience. It’s not something you do every day, and the upper deck adds a bit more “wow” to the view.
Visiting Tokyo Skytree during the August holidays around 6 PM was a fantastic experience. The timing was perfect to witness the sunset transitioning into the dazzling city lights. The panoramic views from the observation decks were breathtaking, especially as Tokyo lit up after dark.
Though it was crowded due to the holiday season, the experience remained smooth, with well-organized ticketing and quick elevator access. The glass floor added a thrilling touch.
