Tokyo Skytree

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 disappointing. 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.

The best part about going up to the Tokyo Skytree, is the path you take to reach there. Starting with Asakusa, walking through the market's streets, taking the tram, walking around Tokyo Skytree Town, waiting in the queue, taking the lift up and finally reaching there. They offer a free small sized printed photo card in black and white. Once up there, if you're lucky, there won't be that many people. The lower floor is better for taking pictures cause most of them stay longer on the upper one. Also down, there's the Souvenir shop and a Post "sender" (?), where you can send a postal after purchasing it at the shop along with the stamp. There are instructions on how to fill it. Had a good time.

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.

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!
