Tokyo Skytree Observation Deck

An Overview: Tokyo Skytree Observation Deck

Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in Japan, standing at an impressive height of 634 meters. This tower was completed in February 2012 and has become one of the most famous landmarks in Tokyo. The Skytree isn't just a broadcasting tower, it also gives visitors breathtaking views of the city. From here, you can see Tokyo’s skyline and even, on clear days, catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji in the distance.

There are two main observation decks where you can enjoy these views. The first one, called the Tembo Deck, is located 350 meters above the ground. It has large glass windows all around and a special section with a transparent floor, making it feel like you are walking in the sky. If you want to go even higher, there’s the Tembo Galleria at 450 meters, which includes a beautiful, spiraling ramp that leads you to Sorakara Point. Sorakara Point is the highest place you can go in the tower, and it's perfect for panoramic views of the city from a great height.
