It reached its full height on **31 March 2011**, and Guinness World Records recognised it as the **world's tallest tower**. The Tokyo Skytree Town complex opened in May 2012. The tower has two observation decks: the **Tembo Deck** at 350 m with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the **Tembo Galleria** at 450 m — a glass spiral walkway that climbs to the highest point. At its foot are the **Tokyo Solamachi** mall, Sumida Aquarium and a planetarium. > **Tickets are cheaper online** According to the official site, an adult Tembo Deck ticket costs from ¥1,800 and a ticket for both decks from ¥3,000; the 'from' price depends on the day and time. Buy at the 4th-floor counter or ticket machines and ¥500 is added to each ticket — book ahead online. Children aged 5 and under go free. You can add the Tembo Galleria at machines on Floor 350. ## How the tower works The decks are entered from the complex's **4th floor**. A high-speed lift takes you to the **Tembo Deck** (Floor 350) in under a minute. It has three levels with full-height windows, a glass floor, a café and Sky Restaurant 634. From Floor 350 a separate lift goes up to the **Tembo Galleria**, a glass walkway spiralling up to 451.2 m. On clear days you can see Fuji, Tokyo Bay and the whole city. The tower is usually open roughly 10:00 to 22:00, but hours change — check the website. ## What to see and do - **Tembo Deck** — a Tokyo panorama from 350 m. - **The glass floor** on the deck. - **Tembo Galleria** — the spiral walkway at 450 m. - **Views of Fuji** on clear days. - **Tokyo Solamachi** — shops and food at the base. - **Sumida Aquarium** in the complex. ## How to get to Tokyo Skytree 1. **Tokyo Skytree station** (Tobu Skytree line) — exits straight to the tower. 2. **Oshiage station** (Hanzomon, Asakusa and Keisei lines) — a few minutes on foot. 3. **From Senso-ji** — about 20 minutes on foot across the Sumida River. 4. **From Haneda airport** — Keikyu train to Oshiage, about 45 minutes, or the shuttle bus. 5. **From Narita airport** — Keisei line to Oshiage, about an hour. ## Just 350 m or both decks | | Tembo Deck (350 m) | Combo 350 + 450 m | | --- | --- | --- | | Online price | From ¥1,800 | From ¥3,000 | | Height | 350 m | Up to 451 m | | What's there | Windows, glass floor, café | Plus the glass spiral walkway | | Best for | A first visit | Clear days and going higher | ## How long do you need? Allow **1–1.5 hours** with both decks. The best time is a clear morning for Fuji, or sunset as the city lights come on. Skytree pairs well with **Senso-ji** in Asakusa — 20 minutes on foot across the river. In the evening the tower itself is lit in different colours. ## Is Tokyo Skytree worth it? Yes: it's Tokyo's highest viewpoint, and on a clear day the view — from the bay to Fuji — is one of the city's best. The YesGo take: in cloudy weather the view disappears, and tickets aren't cheap. Check the forecast, buy online to avoid the ¥500 surcharge, and consider whether you need the upper deck — the first is often enough. ## Before you go: checklist - [ ] A clear forecast - [ ] Ticket online — no ¥500 surcharge - [ ] Morning for Fuji or evening for the lights - [ ] Senso-ji on the way - [ ] Time for Solamachi at the base ## Tokyo views: compare and choose Viewpoints and views of Tokyo rated by YesGo. - [Shibuya Crossing](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/shibuya-crossing) — YesGo score 57/100 (Yes, go) · 30 min · free; Shibuya Sky ≈ ¥2,700–3,400 - [Tokyo Tower](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/tokyo-tower) — YesGo score 56/100 (Yes, go) · 1 h · Main Deck ¥1,500; Top Deck ¥3,300 online - [Tokyo Skytree](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/tokyo-skytree) — YesGo score 53/100 (Yes, go) · 1 h 30 min · from ¥1,800 (350 m), from ¥3,000 (both) - [Mount Fuji](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/mount-fuji) — YesGo score 52/100 (Yes, go) · 4 h · free to view; climbing ≈ ¥4,000 - [Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/tokyo-government-building) — YesGo score 43/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 45 min · free - [Odaiba](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/odaiba) — YesGo score 39/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 3 h · free; museums and observatory paid - [Roppongi Hills](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/roppongi-hills) — YesGo score 35/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h 30 min · ≈ ¥2,200 online / ¥2,400 on site (winter 2026–27) - [Mount Takao](https://yesgo.io/japan/tokyo/mount-takao) — YesGo score 21/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 4 h · free; cable car ≈ ¥490 ## Asakusa and Skytree in a day Senso-ji and Nakamise in the morning, Tokyo Skytree in the afternoon, and Ueno Park in the evening.
