I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to access Tokyo Sky Tree using public transportation. The nearby shopping complex and dining options also make it a convenient destination for tourists. Don't forget to capture some stunning photos from the observation decks!
My visit to the Tokyo Skytree was nothing short of mesmerizing. Rising elegantly against the Tokyo skyline, it stands as a symbol of innovation and modernity.
During the day, the panoramic views from the observation decks were simply breathtaking. I could see Tokyo stretching out endlessly in every direction, with its maze of streets and towering buildings creating a vibrant tapestry below.
As night fell, the Skytree transformed into a dazzling spectacle of lights. The cityscape sparkled and shimmered, and I was captivated by the beauty of Tokyo illuminated against the dark sky. The Skytree itself was adorned with colorful lights, adding to the magical ambiance of the evening.
One of the highlights of my visit was staying in a nearby hotel, which offered unparalleled views of the Skytree. Witnessing its majestic presence both during the day and at night allowed me to appreciate its architectural brilliance from different perspectives.
Overall, my experience at the Tokyo Skytree was unforgettable. It's not just a towering structure but a symbol of Tokyo's dynamism and spirit. Whether day or night, the Skytree offers an enchanting glimpse into the heart of this bustling metropolis.

Typical tourist attraction. You can really see how big Tokyo is from the observation deck. I like that the 4 elevators are decorated for each season. Purchased same day tickets for the last available time 7:30 p.m. or 19:30 p.m. and it was packed. Plus it was super hot in there because of the amount of people. Only had about 30 seconds on the glass floor.
Toller Ausblick über ganz Tokyo. Wir waren in den Abendstunden dort und hatten keine Tickets vorher gebucht. Es war gut besucht aber nicht überfüllt. Wir konnten leider nicht auf die Galerie, da gab es keine Tickets mehr. Trotzdem können wir euch allen empfehlen sich diese Aussicht anzusehen. Der Glasboden in die Tiefe ist auch beeindruckend.
Wenn man in Tokyo ist ein muss!
Die Wartezeit variiert bestimmt aber wir waren ohne lange warten oben.
Man hat die Wahl zwischen zwei unterschiedlich hohen Plattformen. Wir waren nur aus der ersten und es hat vollkommen gereicht. Das Personal ist sehr nett und der Aufzug unfassbar schnell dafür das es so hoch hinaus geht.
Bei Dunkelheit bestimmt auch toll zu sehen wie es bis zum Horizont leuchtet von der Stadt.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was really fun and exciting, but also very busy. It’s a super tall tower in Tokyo that lots of people want to see. When I got there, I saw a long line of people waiting to buy tickets. But, I found out that buying tickets online is smarter because you don’t have to wait as long. You still have to get your tickets from a machine when you arrive, but it saves you about half an hour of standing in line.
The place was packed with people, but they have a good system for getting everyone up to the top. There are several elevators that take you up to where you can see the views. And wow, the views are amazing! You can see all over Tokyo from up there. There’s even a higher spot you can go to for even better views.
For those who like taking photos, this is a great place. You can get some really nice shots of the city. They also have a special elevator for people in wheelchairs, which is really thoughtful. Plus, there’s a place to grab some food and even a service where professionals can take your photo.
The only not-so-great part is how crowded it gets. But other than that, going to Tokyo Skytree is a lot of fun and something I think everyone should do if they visit Tokyo.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an unforgettable experience! The panoramic views from the observation decks were absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning glimpse of Tokyo's vast urban landscape. The structure itself is a marvel of modern architecture, with its sleek design and impressive height. The Skytree Town below also provided plenty of shopping and dining options, adding to the overall experience. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the queues can be quite long, especially during peak hours, but the views are definitely worth the wait. A must-visit attraction for anyone exploring Tokyo!
We arrived here about an hour before our ticketed time and had early bird tickets and scan the code and went in, such an easy process. I had used the official Skytree website as the travel websites didn't have the right time slots available. The views at the first stop, 350m, were spectacular. And then we went up to 450m and wow! We got to see MT Fuji in the distance against the sunset.a lot of people crowding for photos but we managed to get a decent view and it was well worth it.
The Tokyo Sky Tree is awesome for the city view, you can see the city from above for 360 degree, in the brighter day you may see Mt. Fuji at the direction between the pole number 8 and 9.
It's also have a little glass floor that you can step on it and see how height from the below area.
At the base floor there are a lot of shop and also aquarium to visit while waiting for your round if you buy the ticket and have to wait, there are some food and drink shop at the park area by Christmas event on year end season. It would be very beautiful in the evening by the illumination that already placed in the park here.
BTW my friend was lucky to take the Dragon Ball Piccolo in the photo at the first coin.

Went there almost 10 years ago and great to be back again. Reservation has been made in online is highly recommended. I just go for normal ticket 350m and that's great. At 12.00, the sunlight is quite strong to see so would recommend to go in the evening like 16.00-18.00 instead.
This amazing structure is the best experience you can get on a wide radius view of Tokyo. Beautifully built and lit up at night, it’s one of the best places to go to have an actual view of the sheer size of Tokyo’s mega cities.
Tokyo tower just doesn’t only offer a view, it provides you an entertainment, shopping, eatery and even an aquarium. Towering over Solamachis shopping district you can literally just stay there the whole day.
It is not necessary to get the higher floor ticket but if you want to see how far up you are then I’d say go for it!
Don’t think I have ever experienced queue issues and tickets can be bought on the spot or online.
Strongly recommend going just before sunset to get a good day and sunset view. Don’t think the night view is that great high up.

A cloudy day but still worth the trip. A group tour gets you in faster than going as an individual. Look how fast the elevator travels. Also, interesting to see through the glass floor. Second highest building in the world and the highest broadcasting tower. A shopping center is adjacent to the tower. They were already decorated for Christmas and Christmas music was playing throughout the shopping area.
Such a cool experience! The views were beautiful from up top and the staff was very helpful. There is so much you can do in the one location— lots of shopping, eating, and an aquarium. Great spot for families!
Buy tickets in advance! They can sell out quickly for popular times. Makes it way easier to get in too.

The view from this tower was amazing. I could see the whole outline of Tokyo and a little bit further. The only problem was getting in the line to the top as long lines are gathered and they have certain times where you have to visit and spots do run out fast. This is a very busy place but luckily I got in at a decent time to have good tickets. They do have shops and restaurants to explore while you wait for your turn. I do love how they have 4 elevators and each one has a design about the seasons. Very unique design that is beautiful. Along going up the elevator there is a TV that shows how fast it's going up and down. I do recommend people come here because there are more things at the top as for the glass floor and shops as well and even a gallery.
The structure itself is stunning and the views are the best I've yet seen from an observation tower of this kind. Being able to get a 360 degree view of the entire city is wild.
I came at night and it was amazing to see the city lit up, I imagine sunset would also be beautiful though busy. There was also a random jazz band playing and they were really good.
I definitely suggest getting the combination ticket that gets you access to the deck at 350 and 450 meters. You can go back to the 350 after going to the 450 deck as well.
There's a small cafe and bar on the 350 level as well.

I visited Tokyo Skytree on a Sunday, and luckily, it wasn't overly crowded. We decided to capture the moment with a souvenir photo, which cost 1500 yen and could be conveniently downloaded via a QR code. Our ticket granted access to the 350-meter observation deck, with the option to go higher at 450 meters for an additional fee. The ticket counter is located on the tower's fourth floor. Surrounding the tower, you'll find numerous dining options and the sprawling Solamachi shopping mall, making it a complete and enjoyable experience.
Stunning view of Tokyo. I went at night and the elevator was fast to lift us up to the viewing deck. I didn't book in advance but still got a ticket. No queues and I stayed nearly an hour there.
It was our second time coming here and it was still a great experience. We bought the combo tickets for both sections of the Skytree and while the views are quite similar whichever level you choose, it was still breathtaking. Of course, it depends on the weather as some clouds blocked our view of the faraway mountains but it was easy to see most of downtown Tokyo. Even though we had a slight fear of heights, we felt safe and comfortable for most of our visit.
Amazing views of the city. Just beautiful.
Give yourself more time at the place if you want to explore all of the shops. We came down from the observation deck at closing time so naturally, all the shops were closed too which I was kinda gutted about.

Good experience and first timers would love it. It has one of the fastest elevator and takes to 350 meters in a minute. Glass floor experience is good and night view of the tower is wonderful. Though we went on a weekday and got a ticket, it is recommended to book in advance.
This was a really cool place. You can see all of Tokyo from here. We were here on a National Holiday, and this place was packed. I would recommend buying your tickets in advance because there was a two plus hour wait if you wanted to go to the upper observation deck. At the base of the tower they have numerous restaurants and a lot of shopping. Also, they had lots of things for kids to do. The lines to get into a restaurant were extremely long. Not worth the wait, so we went to the food court. We still had to wait but not as long, and then we had to wait for a table to come available. I would recommend going at a less busy time and your experience will be a lot better.
An incredible work of Japanese engineering. An excellent place to meet in Tokyo. On weekdays you will be able to have better conditions to photograph the different landscapes that are provided by the tower. It is worth checking. Bring your camera and enjoy the light!
Amazing view! I would recommend coming on a weekday because weekends are packed! While it was busy staff moved things along very well. I personally found that the one level was worth it! If it's your first time in Tokyo come to Tokyo Skytree for the best views!
