About TOKYO SKYTREE

Tokyo’s Sumida City is home to the 634-meter-tall broadcasting tower known as TOKYO SKYTREE. The height “634” is a word play as it can be read as “Musashi,” which is the historical name of the province that formerly comprised of Tokyo and the surrounding areas. Since its opening in 2012, this landmark has drawn attention from all over the world as the tallest freestanding broadcasting tower and is admired for its sophisticated architecture and cutting-edge technology.

Originally constructed to efficiently transmit digital terrestrial broadcasting signals, the TOKYO SKYTREE has come to be a highly popular tourist destination. The view from the observatory is particularly breathtaking, offering a panoramic view of Tokyo’s cityscape and even Mt. Fuji on clear days. Visitors can enjoy a range of attractions at the tower’s base, which also includes a shopping mall, an aquarium, and more!

Highlights 1: Take in the stunning views from the observation deck

TOKYO SKYTREE has two observation decks, the TOKYO SKYTREE Tembo Deck (350 m) and the TOKYO SKYTREE Tembo Galleria (450 m), which offer panoramic views of the Tokyo cityscape, and on a clear day you can even see Mt. Fuji and the Boso Peninsula.

At night, the city’s night view shines even more beautifully, adding a romantic ambience.
The observation area features glass floors and special photo spots for visitors to enjoy.

Additionally, cafés within the deck offer a relaxing space to take in the stunning views. Every visit offers something new to discover because of the various seasonal activities and decorations that are held throughout the year!

Highlights 2: Seasonal events

The TOKYO SKYTREE offers a variety of seasonal events to keep the visitors entertained. Cherry blossom-themed lights and decorations adorn the tower in the spring, while special holiday lighting is held in the winter to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.

These events, along with the amazing views from the observation deck, offer visitors a truly unique experience.
