Tokyo Skytree is a new tourist attraction in Tokyo that is visited by many tourists from Japan and abroad. From the observation deck, you can see every corner of Tokyo, and it has been popular since its opening as one of the best viewing spots in Japan, and this popularity shows no signs of slowing down.

If you go to such popular spots without prior knowledge, you may not be able to get around as much as you want. So, this time we have summarized the points you should keep in mind when going to Sky Tree!

What time should I go to avoid the crowds?

There are two types of Tokyo Sky Tree tickets: same-day tickets and reserved tickets that are purchased by specifying the date and time, but this time we will explain the points to keep in mind when purchasing same-day tickets.

Needless to say, the Sky Tree gets very crowded on weekends, so if you want to avoid the crowds, it's best to go on weekdays. Also, Mondays and Fridays can be crowded even during weekdays, so Tuesdays to Thursdays are the best times to go! Also, the Sky Tree opens from 8 a.m., but the crowd starts to increase around 10 a.m., so if you don't want to wait in long ticket lines, try to arrive as soon as it opens.

Sky Tree sometimes holds events inside the building, but it goes without saying that it gets crowded during the event, so avoid visiting during those times.

If you want to enjoy tea or a meal while enjoying the beautiful scenery from Sky Tree, stop by ``SKYTREE CAFE'' on ``Observation Deck Floor 345'' or ``Sky Restaurant 634.''

The number of seats in the cafe is quite limited, so there may be time restrictions when it's crowded. If you want to take a breather before it gets crowded, it's important to get there early. The restaurant opens from 11am, but reservations are accepted through the official website, so you don't have to worry about the opening hours.

However, please note that there is a strict dress code, so you cannot enter the store wearing casual clothes such as jeans and a T-shirt.

This time, we have introduced some points to keep in mind for those who want to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the Sky Tree Observation Deck. Even though I took the trouble to visit the Sky Tree, I ended up feeling exhausted due to the crowds, which ruined my sightseeing mood. Please check the information in advance and have a fun day.
