🗼 What is Tokyo Skytree?
Standing at an incredible height of 634 meters (2,080 feet), Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan and the second tallest in the world. Completed in 2012, it quickly became one of the most iconic landmarks in Tokyo. Whether you’re into cityscapes, architecture, or photography, a visit to Skytree is an absolute must.
🌇 Two Observation Decks, One Unforgettable View
Tokyo Skytree has two observation decks that offer breathtaking 360-degree views of Tokyo:
- Tembo Deck (350 meters): Offers stunning panoramic views of Tokyo Bay, Mount Fuji on clear days, and the endless Tokyo cityscape.
- Tembo Galleria (450 meters): Known as the “skywalk,” this higher deck gives visitors the surreal experience of walking in the sky.
🛍️ Skytree Town: Shopping & Dining Paradise
At the base of Tokyo Skytree is Tokyo Solamachi, a large shopping and entertainment complex. Here, you’ll find:
- Over 300 shops and restaurants
- An excellent Sumida Aquarium
- Planetarium and Japanese souvenir stores
This makes Skytree more than just a viewpoint — it’s a full cultural experience.
🚆 Easy Access for Tourists
Tokyo Skytree is located in Sumida Ward, just northeast of Asakusa. It’s easily accessible via:
- Tokyo Skytree Station (Tobu Skytree Line)
- Oshiage Station (Hanzomon Line)
From central Tokyo, it’s about 20–30 minutes by train. If you’re with me on a private car tour, it’s even more convenient and comfortable!
