Tokyo Skytree

東京スカイツリー

Oshiage, Tokyo · 東京

A 634-metre broadcasting tower with two observation decks, the upper one reached by a spiral ramp of glass. On a clear winter afternoon Fuji sits on the horizon.

Why it’s worth it

Book the timed ticket for forty minutes before sunset and you get the city in daylight, at dusk and lit — three completely different views for one entry.
