Tokyo Skytree
東京スカイツリー
At 634 m, the world's tallest free-standing radio tower. Its 350 m Tembo Deck and 450 m Tembo Galleria offer 360-degree views of Tokyo, and Mount Fuji can be seen on clear days.
Tokyo Skytree is in Oshiage, Sumida Ward. It opened in 2012 and stands 634 m tall, the tallest free-standing radio tower in the world. The 350 m Tembo Deck has glass floors. The 450 m Tembo Galleria is a glass corridor that spirals upward. Its views are wider than those from Tokyo Tower, and Mount Fuji can be seen in winter on clear days. Ticket prices vary by date and time. A combined ticket for both levels costs about 3,100 to 4,500 yen. Booking on the official website is cheaper, and queues often form around sunset on holidays. Beneath the tower, Solamachi has more than 300 shops, as well as the Sumida Aquarium and a planetarium. Getting there: direct from Tokyo Skytree Station or Oshiage Station. It is about 20 minutes on foot from Senso-ji, so it works well as part of a day trip with Asakusa. Note that visibility is poor in low cloud or strong winds, so check the real-time weather before setting out.
