Tokyo Skytree

On holiday in Japan with kids and a compulsory iteniary to see the famous Tokyo Skytree. We booked the tickets on line and headed straight to the location. Every step is well organised and taken care of, smooth elevator ride, museum stop with amazing staff .. evrything was good. What was bad was tourist treating the observation deck like a garden. Sitting on the floor occupying or rather hogging all the space. It was difficult for my kids to even have a peek outside. Couples sitting and cuddling like live camera on for sunset view. The crowd was too much on the top floor with no space to walk, crowd control should be done is such cases. Since it was not a clear sky, we watched the city from above. Overall we enjoyed what we could as the rest of was just a crowded market.

The Tokyo Skytree is an absolute highlight and, in my opinion, a must-do when you're in the city. To get the most out of your visit, there is really only one perfect timing: try to head up about 45 minutes before sunset on a sunny, clear day. You get the most beautiful light imaginable, you'll catch the sunset itself, and then you can watch as all of Tokyo transforms into a massive sea of lights. Booking the ticket for the highest observation deck at 450 meters is definitely worth it, as the perspective from up there is on a completely different level. Just be prepared for the fact that it’s always incredibly crowded. Once it gets dark, taking photos through the glass becomes a bit of a challenge because the interior lights start reflecting. Despite the crowds, I can recommend the Skytree.

Tokyo Skytree is one of the most iconic landmarks in Japan and an impressive example of modern engineering and architecture. As the tallest tower in the world, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo from its observation decks. From the top, visitors can see the vast city skyline, rivers, and even Mount Fuji on clear days, creating a truly unforgettable experience. The tower is modern, clean, and very well organized. The elevators are fast and efficient, taking visitors to the observation decks within seconds. The viewing areas are spacious, with large glass windows that provide clear and uninterrupted views. The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable, making it perfect for sightseeing, photography, and relaxing while appreciating the beauty of Tokyo. At night, Tokyo Skytree becomes even more stunning with its colorful illumination, making it a beautiful focal point of the city. The surrounding area also offers many attractions, including shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment facilities, allowing visitors to spend several hours exploring. Although the ticket price can be relatively expensive, the experience and views are absolutely worth it. Overall, Tokyo Skytree is highly recommended for anyone visiting Tokyo, as it provides a spectacular perspective of the city and a memorable sightseeing experience.

Very busy even on a weekday. The view is spectacular, but the business takes away from it. The highest platform experience isn’t as significantly elevated as the price. This review comes from a comparison lens as we visited Tokyo Tower the day before. The wife and I preferred Tokyo Tower, our 5 year old preferred sky tree because of its height and modern design.
