If you only plan to do Skytree once, the Tembo Galleria is a must - you'll only end up regretting it on your invertible second visit back to the tower to finish what you started. Don't be cheap here, if you are coming during busy hours, go with the fast-track option - worth every extra yen.Īccess to the Tembo Galleria, the highest observation deck in Tokyo Skytree, will cost an additional 1000 Yen. Normal entry to Skytree will cost 2100 yen (more on holidays), with the fast-track options for tourists coming in at 3200 yen. However, Skytree does offer a fast-track option for tourists to help alleviate some of the excessive queuing pains. The evening can be some of Skytree's busiest operating hours, so unless you are willing to go early in the morning and miss out on the gorgeous sunset view, you may have to brace yourself for long lines and even longer waiting times. Unfortunately, I'm not alone in that thought. With sunset being the best time to visit and witness the sun's amber light crest across Tokyo's metropolis landscape, making the Skytree the last stop on a day of sightseeing can be a beautiful way to end. If you plan on using the popular Yamanote line, you may need to transfer trains up to 3 times to make your way here. With Skytree only being a 5-minute walk from Oshiage Station, it is relatively easy to get to, but you may find the tower's location a bit out of the way from other popular tourist locations. With its opening in 2012, At 637 meters (2090 feet) Tokyo's Skytree became the tallest tower and the second tallest structure in the world, outdone only by Dubai's Burj Khalifa.

Without a doubt, Shibuya Sky offers the best view of the Shibuya district and is now a contender for the ultimate viewing experience in the whole of Tokyo. An open-air rooftop located on the 47th floor surrounded by tall glass panels that allow you to get very close and personal to the beautiful vista view of Shibuya. Then the main attraction, the “Sky Stage”. From there you can relax in “Paradise Lounge” - a music bar where you can enjoy the view of Shibuya with a modern menu of foods based on the theme of “flying”. Shibuya Sky’s experience begins with a journey from the 14th floor by entering the “Sky Gate” granting you a ride in a transition pod elevator, taking you to the 45th floor. Although certainly not the tallest view on this list, you’ll hardly notice, as the place is designed to never let you forget how far from the ground you are. Shibuya Sky opened in November 2019 and peaks at 229 meters (751 Feet). The newest and perhaps most modern viewing experience of Tokyo to date, Shibuya Sky takes elements found in other older observation decks and adds its own unique twist to deliver something truly memorable.
