Tokyo Skytree is a freestanding radio tower that opened in 2012, offering panoramic views of the Kanto Plain from the "Tembo Deck" at 350 meters above ground and the "Tembo Galleria" at 450 meters. Tokyo Skytree Town (Solamachi), a large commercial facility directly below the tower, is home to restaurants, shops, an aquarium, and a planetarium, making it a pleasant place to spend time regardless of the weather or season. At night, the tower is lit up in a variety of ways, making it a popular photo spot when combined with the surrounding river scenery.
Highlights
- Panoramic city view and Mt. Fuji view from the observation deck (350m) (weather permitting)
- The thrill of the Tembo Galleria (450m) corridor-style floor and glass floor
- Tokyo Solamachi's gourmet, souvenir, and downtown craft shops
- Seasonal illuminations and night view photos along the Sumida River
