Tokyo Skytree was built in 2012 as a new radio tower to replace Tokyo Tower.

The Tokyo Skytree stands 634 meters tall, with the "Tokyo Skytree Tembo Deck" at 350 meters above ground and the "Tokyo Skytree Tembo Galleria" at 450 meters, offering panoramic views of Tokyo.
Four elevators connect the ground level to the observation deck, traveling at a speed of 600 meters per minute and transporting 40 people in approximately 50 seconds. Each of the four elevators features a different interior design inspired by the four seasons, allowing visitors to enjoy a synchronized display with the elevator's movement.

From the observation deck, a magnificent panoramic view of Tokyo unfolds, and on clear days, you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance.
There are also restaurants, cafes, and shops where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Two more elevators extend from the observation deck, connecting to the observation corridor in about 30 seconds at a speed of 240 meters per minute.
From the observation corridor, an even more expansive view unfolds, and the glass-enclosed skywalk gives you the feeling of walking in the air.

When the weather is unstable, the observation deck may close earlier or even close completely.
It's unfortunate that you may not be able to go up to the observation deck depending on the situation, but the facility's management, which prioritizes the safety of visitors, has earned it high praise.

Tokyo Skytree, the world's tallest radio tower and the second tallest building, attracts many tourists from all over the world, as well as from within Japan.

The area surrounding the Skytree is home to a commercial facility called Tokyo Skytree Town, which not only stocks most of Tokyo's famous souvenirs, but also has numerous shops and restaurants, making it a popular tourist destination.

At night, the Tokyo Skytree is beautifully illuminated, making it a popular date spot.
The illumination changes themes, offering a variety of looks.
While it is usually illuminated in blue, based on the Japanese colors of indigo and white, it sometimes features new themes that beautifully express the sky, attracting many photography enthusiasts with their cameras in hand.
