“Spectacular 360-degree city views from 350–450 meters above Tokyo, including the world-famous skywalk experience.”
Tokyo Skytree is a global landmark and the tallest tower in the world, standing at an impressive 634 meters. Serving as a major digital broadcasting tower and centerpiece of Tokyo Skytree Town, it offers visitors an immersive blend of sightseeing, dining, entertainment, and shopping all in one place.
The main highlight is the Tembo Deck (350 m), featuring 5-meter-high glass windows that provide breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo. The deck includes Sky Café, a restaurant, and a thrilling glass floor area that lets you look straight down from the tower. Higher up, the Tembo Galleria (450 m)—known as the “world’s highest skywalk”—offers a spiraling, glass-encased walkway that gives the sensation of floating in the sky. Visitors can ascend to Sorakara Point (451.2 m), the highest publicly accessible spot.
Tokyo Skytree is also famous for its night illumination styles, including “Iki” (light blue) and “Miyabi” (purple), which alternate daily and create a spectacular nighttime silhouette against the Tokyo skyline. The tower’s height_ of 634 meters has a cultural significance as well: the numbers can be read as “Mu-Sa-Shi,” referencing the historic Musashi Province where the tower now stands. Its design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese pagodas, combined with cutting-edge seismic engineering to withstand earthquakes.
At the base of the tower lies Tokyo Solamachi, a large commercial complex with over 300 shops and restaurants. Nearby attractions such as Sumida Aquarium and Planetarium Tenku make Tokyo Skytree Town an ideal destination for spending an entire day—perfect for couples, families, and travelers seeking the best skyline views in Tokyo.
