We went around 4:15pm and the line was not very long. We bought tickets for the 450 floor and the view was cool. The 350 floor has larger windows for pictures. The 450 floor is not as crowded. We got to see Tokyo during the day and at night. It was a really fun experience. We walked but there are shuttles you can use. I would reccomened that since the Skytree is also connected to a mall and an aquarium. Save those steps for exploring and use the shuttle.

I can only give 4 stars as I did not go up the tower, the staff at the bottom were kind enough to warn us that with the weather we would not get the view we deserved.So 5 stars for the staff.Would definitely try again on a nice day🙂

Always a crowd favorite, Tokyo Skytree inspires both awe and excitement. It is MASSIVE, as becomes apparent before even stepping into the tower. Very touristy, but also a tried and true local activity (bring a date at night!). View is one of the most intense in Japan, second only to the top of Fuji-sama. I'd say absolutely go and see for yourself. And if you're lucky, you may have a themed experience as well! (The Attack on Skytree experience last year was awesome)

The view at night is amazing! Very convenient location, next to train station. We went up there around 8:50pm, tickets counter opens until 9pm, Skytree opens until 10pm. 350m and 450m are both worth the money to have a look. Professional photos can be taken by the staff over there, 1500 yen per photo.

Beautiful tower in Sumida-ku. Now there are a couple of fully blossomed trees that are gorgeous, as you can see in the pictures.The area is popular, but not as crazy crowded as I expected, which is very nice.There's also a river next to it, that you can walk by.I hope you enjoy the pictures. I wouldn't say it's a must visit, but I would certainly recommend it for people coming to Tokyo.

This is a great place to go when you're done shopping @Solamachi MallIt's very crowded but foreigners can buy the fast pass tickets to instantly get to the top of the Skytree.Up there, there's cafe's and an abundant of information about each location you're looking at from above!Cool and chill place except for that it's SO CROWDED!!!

Loved the Tokyo Skytree. Very busy mall with a lot of food options. Reached here in the evening and got the view from the 350m spot. The 450m feels a lot trapped and less viewing scope. 350m is good on your pockets and also good for the view. Spend some time here. Enjoy the view. Some cool displays available which show a whole lot of amazing views.

Worth the visit if you are in Tokyo and have some spare time, would recommend to book the ticket online in advance as you can skip the line. There is multiple photo opportunities where the staff will take your photo and you can pay for it, or they will use your camera and phone for free. Train station is located right outside so easy access if trying to come via public transport

Super cool observation tower. For me it was better than the Tokyo tower because it was higher in elevation. Gorgeous views of the city. More expensive than Tokyo tower but worth it

Nice tourist attraction, looks great at night from a distance n even better when looking down from 350m above. Enjoy the glass floor there! Strictly not for the acrophobic. Shopping mall n an aquarium are accessible too. Had a wonderful time there. Crowded like many other tourist spots though.

Skipped the long snaking queue by buying tickets (350m or 350m+450m) from Klook. Slightly cheaper also. We purchased it few days before thus we are able to enter within 5minutes upon redeeming the QR code ticket from the machine. We managed to catch a glimpse of sunset at 350m upon reaching. It was very crowded even on 450m deck. The view at night and day had a diff vibe.

Japans tallest structure providing a 360* view of Tokyo, best to buy the tickets on Expedia which includes a fast pass. Best time to go is just before sunset to catch a day and night view of the city. Also located on the ground floor is a grocery store, lots of eateries, and an Aquarium.

I waited for this day and today I made it.I really enjoyed every moment in Skytree.I am lucky because weather was clean I could see Fuji Mountain from Skytree. I bought my ticket over online that’s why I didn’t need to go for time consuming queue.

It’s nice tower to get a bird’s eye view of the tower. Lots of souvernir shops on the top floors & also some food & drinks if you get hungry. There were 3 photo booths when I was there during Christmas season. The best for me is the one in the corner that gets you a good view of the city.

Really nice view from the top and even from the level below, everything looks awesome, especially at night, also it’s not only the view but the other activities and events they have at different times of the year. On summer the line to go up is really short and you can go up pretty quickly. The cafeteria has really nice and interesting products. You can stay at the top as long as you want, and at the bottom there are also thing to do.Really nice experience.

Loved the view, it’s soooo high. We found the international tourist ticket office, and payed the extra 1000 yen each to jump the ticket and first lift queue, well worth it. You do still have to queue for the second lift up the the top floor, but that was only about a 15 minute wait.

The Skytree was a GREAT experience that anyone going to Tokyo NEEDS to do. The line is long, but it goes by relatively quick and is totally worth it. The view is breathtaking! I recommend going during sunset, just be sure to get there about an hour before the sunset.Also, theres an adorable Kirby Cafe at the base of the tower which is a little expensive but super cute and well themed!

Must visit in Tokyo. The Skytree, being the second tallest structure in the world, has an amazing view of the city plus there is lots to do around the Skytree. On the observation deck, there's multiple places to take pictures. Alongside Skytree is the Solamachi, a mall with tons of shopping and eating out options. There's always some or the other event being organized especially for holidays. We liked the Christmas holiday decoration.

Get the Fast pass. It is acceptable to wait in line for over 45 mins in Japan. So if you're tight for time. Look into getting Fast pass and book your tickets prior to the date of arrival. The views are spectacular :) would you agree? The photos are taken from my pixel 3 -night sight mode.I hope this is helpful

There's two stops 350m and 450m. We got fast tickets for both stops because they spoke English and had Foreigner written on it. The price is higher but the line for tickets is shorter. There's souvenirs at each the ground, 350m and 450m. There's glass flooring at the top level 450m. There's photo places that will supply camera at 350m and 450m. There's a cafe at 350m sand a fancy restaurant at 450m.It's an amazing view. You can see Disney Sea's volcano from the observation deck. We had a nice time and it was crowded on the elevators, but not too bad at the observation decks. There's even an informative tour of you like to read facts.

Tokyo sky tree is the one of best places to visit in Japan especially in Tokyo. There are many famous and beautiful towers in the world but Tokyo skytree is most beautiful and the tallest tower in the world. Tokyo sky tree have two observation deck. If you want to visit both observation deck then you have to buy combo ticket that is around ¥3500. You can spend as much time on the deck as you want. Tokyo skytree is the highest tower in the world and you can see beautiful Tokyo city (Biggest city in the world) from the both decks. After spending memorable time on Tokyo sky tree later you can visit Tokyo Tower same day. Tokyo Tower is 15 minute drive from Tokyo sky tree and also a nice place to visit especially at evening time.

Amazing view and a cool tower. I recommend going in the morning so that you don't run into issues with large crowds. I went during a sunny day and it was enjoyable at around 9:30am. The building opens at 8am, but you need to take the elevators in the main lobby to get up as the inner-mall is closed until 10am. Escalators do not work until then. I also recommend booking via Expedia, a day in advance, so that you can take advantage of the "fast pass" that allows you to skip the line if you're a foreigner. It is also much cheaper.

Very nice experience. Went around sunset time and it was beautiful to see both the sunset and the night view of Tokyo. So beautiful and very worth it. I would recommend going at night. I think we got lucky with the amount of people - there were a lot of people but not to the point where we couldn't get a good viewing spot. They also have offers to take photos for us although there was a long line for that.

Was a really good experience, elevator going up was quick so not much of a long wait. 2060 yen for the first observatory, 1030 for the second. It's not easy to get lost, as everything is directed by signs. Staff are respectful to guests. You can see a lot of Tokyo from there, and it's a great place to take pictures if that's your thing.

Visited the place on 31st Jan 2020. Going there is very convenient, place is windy as weather was 5°C and very windy. Went up to 350m viewing gallery...amazing 360° view of TOKYO city. Then we went up to 450m, the lift took us about 10 sec to viewing gallery....so amazing view. There's also a souvenir shop

A really cool experience at night, worth the money. The bar up top had excellent drinks that weren't that expensive, the views are astounding. I wish I had brought a tripod as well as a camera filter (since it's tough to take photos without catching reflections on the glass) but overall it was a really nice and calming experience.

Not much to say. This is the tallest building in Japan, 2nd tallest building in the world and it offers spectacular views of Tokyo. Tickets kinda expensive, so best bet to come here in the evening before sunset and see the city in the daylight and in the dark. Hundreds of blinking red lights all directions on rooftops of skyscrapers of Tokyo in the dark, was something I never saw in my life. It's like Christmas every night. There are some official Tokyo Skytree souvenir shops and cafeteria to buy ice cream or other snacks inside. And there is a huge mall with hundred shops nearby called Tokyo Skytree Town.

One of the tallest towers in the world, and I believe the highest one in Tokyo. If you head near Askusa, you will be able to see this man made construction for yourself. There is a huge shopping mall in the tower, and you can see an unforgettable view if you pay to take the elevator to the top. A place to go for all travelers around the world!

Skytree in Tokyo is a landmark you definitely want to visit. I love high places and the view from the tower are great in all directions. They also have glass floor when you can stand above the huge drop below. Depending what time, you are visiting you might want to get the express tickets and skip the line.

Truly astounding views of Tokyo and Fuji-san. Worth visiting, especially just before sunset to get the most of the day time view, sunset and the night cityscape. The extra cost for the top section is probably worth it, but the view is surprisingly similar.

Great mall. Lots to do both as a local and a tourist. Layout can be a bit confusing to start. Though there are several info kiosks.Prices to the top of the tower equate to 34USD which, personally was not worth the view. You can get one similar at the Metropolitan Centre.

Oh boy, I hope you're not afraid of heights, cos this place will make anyone have legs like jelly. Brilliantly positioned at a metro station for easy access, has a restaurant casually 350m above the ground, and has a gift shop both inside and at the base of the tower. Even on a cloudy day, the views are remarkable. I'd recommend the Skytree to anyone who's never tried it.

This was around the Final Fantasy VII Remake event I went to Tokyo Skytree, it is one of the best views you can get of the city. But my only complaint that the Tickets were a little pricey considering that the tickets were a one time use only. Meaning you can't go back down to the bottom floor and back up while using the same ticket that was already purchased. There are shops in the Skytree that were pretty fun to explore but overall it was a tiny enclosed space with a great view. I would advice you to either go alone, because buying individual tickets for everyone for your family can be a little expensive.

Very cool way to see Tokyo. Make sure if you are a foreigner that you get the foreigner ticket, it’s a bit pricier but it gets you up much quicker.I would recommend the combo pass, as the upper level was much less busy than the bottom, and felt a bit more relaxed!

Great family experience; with awesome shopping downstairs also. Lovely cafe when we found it eventually; no seating at one of the cafes (350m?). It was very busy not in the cafe so was nice to have somewhere to sit and enjoy the view - which is absolutely stunning.The combo is actually quite expensive; probably not worth it if the weather isn’t clear!

Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan at 634 metres and completed in 2011. It was constructed to be a telecommunications and broadcast tower but also as a new tourist attraction. There are two levels of observation decks that you can go up to to view panoramic views of the city. However, Tokyo Skytree is very packed and you will need to often line up at a spot by the window to take a picture. There is a small section where the floor is glass for you to see how far up you are. There is also a gift shop inside the tower. The amount of people and the lines do not make the experience very worthwhile. Pricing is quite expensive and single tickets around around ¥3200. I would recommend that you visit other observation decks for views of the Tokyo skyline so you can see the Tokyo Skytree in the skyline.

This is a must visit place to enjoy 360 degree view of Tokyo. Visit during sunset, you can enjoy the sunset and the city lights. This is the tallest structure in Japan and tallest tower in the world. View from observation deck is spectacular. Tower is also lighted during evening, you can see colorful lighted Sky Tree.

The building was breathtaking on the outside especially when you get closer to it .. I liked that it was organized but then again I was in Tokyo and pretty much everything there is organized that’s what makes it a great city. The only negative comment that I have is that it was too crowded and touristy, it wasn’t my idea to go there but nonetheless it was enjoyable.

You can see beautiful skyline...vast see...Mt.Fuji at a distant from the deck. Nice place for hangout...takes time in ticketing queue so need to plan accordingly. Few souvenirs can be purchased. There are two decks, one is at middle level and one is at top level. Visit to one deck is enough for the feel.

This was my third time to visit Tokyo Sky Tree and this time I visited early in the morning. It was wierd to see no long lines to take the elevator and we could also enjoy with calm the view from the observatory. Regrettably it was a little bit cloudy due to light rain but anyway we could enjoy all views from every angle.

Sadly on the day that I went it was very foggy, so visibility was very low. But it was still a nice experience being so high up, and the information boards also offered a view of what the scenery would have looked like on a clear day. The place isn't flooded with people too, so you definitely can get some good shots while up there.
