Now you can rest easy! A summary of things to remember when going to Skytree

Tokyo Skytree is a new Tokyo landmark that attracts many tourists from both within Japan and overseas. From the observation deck, you can see the entire Tokyo landscape, and it has been popular as one of the best viewing spots in the country since it opened, and its popularity shows no signs of waning

If you go to such a popular spot without prior knowledge, you may not be able to navigate as you wish. So, this time we have compiled a list of points you should keep in mind when going to Skytree!

What time should I go to avoid the crowds?

There are two types of tickets for Tokyo Skytree: same-day tickets and reserved tickets, which are purchased for a specific date and time. Here we will explain the points to keep in mind when purchasing same-day tickets

Needless to say, Skytree gets very crowded on weekends, so if you want to avoid the crowds, it's important to go on a weekday. Also, Mondays and Fridays can get quite crowded even on weekdays, so Tuesdays through Thursdays are the best times to go! Skytree opens at 8:00 AM, but people start to gather around 10:00 AM, so if you don't want to wait in long ticket lines, try to arrive as soon as it opens

Skytree sometimes holds events inside the building, but needless to say, it gets crowded during the event period, so it's best to avoid going during that time

Enjoy tea and a meal while taking in the beautiful scenery!

If you'd like to enjoy tea or a meal while taking in the beautiful scenery from Skytree, stop by SKYTREE CAFE or Sky Restaurant 634 on Observation Deck Floor 345

The number of seats in the cafe is quite limited, so there may be time restrictions when it is busy. If you want to take a break before it gets too crowded, it is important to go early. The restaurant opens at 11:00, but you can make reservations through the official website, so you don't have to worry too much about the time
